Help with cypress

[Starscream]

A customer of mine would like me to quote to thin and dead wood a cypress and a quote for removal. The tree is monstrous and over hangs outbuildings and neighbouring gardens etc so would require a fair amount of rigging and is gonna cost him a fortune to remove. The tree has a very low union splitting into several leaders and it has a large split appearing right at the base. The tree is slowly moving apart. None of the stems are upright and all have an outward lean. The bottom 3 to 4 foot has been covered in soil as well, with mycelium making an appearance.

I was wondering what others would quote for/advise in this situation. Would things like cable bracing be futile? A heavy reduction maybe? Though I think the tree would look crap with the top off as it's not a very unilateral tree.

Thanks for any tips or advice,

Matt

Don't quote for a thin and deadwood, just a removal.

Price depends on how close you can get the truck/chipper.
