Parkswide Tree removal and payment for it's value

Well I had a call from Parkswide - Council today and our guy Greg the aborist has got back to me very quickly which is fantastic!

He had already gone out and evaluated the tree and in a nut shell said it isn't going to be a problem to for us to remove it and he's okay'ed it which means full-steam ahead on our plans which is awesome!!

Then we discussed the cost I would have to pay so he calculated the cost and that would be 5k.. yikes expensive but it it full grown tree + 600 removal by them (which a bit $$$ since we recently had some trees removed) but it will have to be done! :-)
I'm pretty happy with the fact because I know they doing what we need so very happy in the end.
