Because kids sitting behind a computer don't know how to value wood or other resources, so they think because it's not "monies" it must be BS.

I know two guys that would take this down, cut it up, and have it stacked at their sheds for seasoning and eventual sale in half day. That's a mature tree, so it's not a bad deal at all. And I don't see anything about stump removal, so they would get to skip the hard part.

And if the owner then wanted stump grinding, they would definitely be given a separate estimate for that.

But I wouldn't be shocked if someone took them up on this. Usually you'd pay some small amount to bring them out and sign away the resources, but depending on height and the take-down options, I could definitely see someone taking this offer.

Depends on the type of tree of course. But if you had, say, a mature walnut tree, you're gonna have people offer to pay you for the tree and the wood.
