I was a bit shocked that more than 7 people came to do the job

I was a bit shocked that more than 7 people came to do the job. But I guess if the tree was huge, they needed more help. I did however send a picture of the tree that I wanted to remove. And the guy insisted on coming to the address to give me a quote. I think in future atleast give someone an estimate bracket of what it would cost and then if they agree, then come out to the address to check the actual size of the tree and discuss price inside the estimated quote bracket. We did go back and forth with what I was willing to pay, and what he was willing to work for. At the end of the day, the job was done. I am happy with the end result.
