    I've got a friend that needs a tree cut down. Can be a person or company as long as they are insured.

    It's dead, approximately 80' tall. It's near 2 homes and needs to go.

    There is a clear area in the yard that would make a good landing zone for it.

    I would suggest that your neighbor has a copy of his license and a valid insurance certificate in his hand before work is started.

    I would rather use a bucket truck and trolley before dropping a 80'er.

    At 80 feet it will probably take a bucket truck. Dead trees are no fun to drop even in the woods because of stuff falling straight down from above.

    Ping's Tree Service is very capable of handling this. They have small and large scale equipment for different tree jobs. I just saw them trim back two 60' trees for one of my neighbors and they took out a couple of 20-30' trees for me about 4-5 years ago.
