Put your postcode up and then pictures of the tree with details of access etc.

 

If you're skint just ask for a quote to get all the wood on the ground for yourself to clear up.

 

Doing it yourself from a ladder with not having a clue what you're doing is probably a bit silly isn't it.

Get some prices first, may be cheaper to go for a reduction,then take the rest yourself. but eucs are sometimes unpredictable to get a nice hinge working,they can be brittle and the grain twists making hinge failure a dangerous reality. maybe you could offer your skills as a barter to an arborist so no money required?

Cutting off branches while standing on a ladder is probably one of the most dangerous thing you can do tbh! (well tree related anyway) Theres not many of us on here that would feel/be safe doing it that way.

 

Since I doubt from your posts that you want to pay someone to take it down properly just pay a local tree surgeon to fell it at the base. They will probably do less damage than you will (off a ladder) and you will deffo live long enough to tidy it all up.:001_smile:

 

BTW although 'slightly' tongue in cheek IMO it is your best option, have heard and seen too many people having a go and really badly injuring themselves if not worse. Its ALOT more difficult than you think.

 

Euc is brittle and heavier than it looks, do you self a favour and dont do it.

 

But the least you could do is post some pics of the tree since we are all :001_smile:interested
