Get several estimates and make sure they are all bidding on the same work.
Some will just do cut down, others will cut and remove and clean up.

I have an oak tree in my front yard which is about 40 feet tall that I want
to have cut down and hauled away. I live in North Central Dallas. Next week
I will be calling a company that does this type of work to get an estimate.
In the mean time I'm just curious if anyone has had a similar experience
with a tree removal in the recent past. Mostly I would like to find out
what kind of price I should be expected to pay.

Thanks, Don
