Until I get third quote, this is basically what I'm thinking. One place take care of two trees and all stumps. The other place take care of chopping down and hauling crap away. Just over $4,000.

I really wish I could just take care of the damn debris myself. But unless they cut it up for me, I be screwed homie!

Go back and read what I said about the 2nd quote guy. I think we stepped on our respective posts. Looks like Epic can't deal.

Exactly.

As an aside, in order for you to determine what kind of company you are dealing with, ask SUBTLE questions like, " Hey, do you guys come in with a big crane, or a bucket or truck mounted one, I don't know much about this stuff." He says big crane. "Oh one of those remote controlled ones?"  If yes, he will be so proud, etc. If no, not a big deal but the negotiating position is improved.

Stump grinding... We talked about Toro vs bluebird, etc. The real pros coming in with a track driven riding stump grinder and make short work of the whole grinding process, but that is an 88k piece of equipment. 

See? So many variables. Dude on the bluebird ain't cheap day to day with the contractor. I definitely lean towards cutting your deal with the package vs piecing it out, when in doubt.

Edit, got another one coming Friday the 16th. I'm hoping to have a third quote before then though.

" I assume that includes grinding the stumps, what is the price if I pay you stone cold 50 dollar bills?"

Gotta be nice cool and appreciative. It's a skill.
