Walk & mark
Lead + owner confirm limits, tag retained trees, measure fences, check ownership and locate buried services before posts or stumps are disturbed.

Planning estimate, not a measured survey or fixed quote. Quantities below are editable allowances. Optional wooden fence, embedded-fence tree removal, stumps and haul travel are excluded from base labor.
01 / THE PROPERTY
The job, at a glance.
SCHEMATIC SITE MAPClick a letter to inspect a zone
RemoveOptionalSpecialist / verifyRetain
Buildings and objects are observed in the footage; their relative footprints are interpretive. The slight rear taper follows the requested visual interpretation and is unmeasured. Fence lengths, property lines, loading access and exact tree identities need field confirmation. Green tree symbols are representative, not an inventory.
02 / THE SCOPE
Six zones. One work plan.
| ZONE / ACTION | CREW & EQUIPMENT | EFFORT | DEBRIS / HANDLING |
|---|
Keep the trees he says are fine.Retention cues at 0:40–0:56, 1:14–1:18 and 2:09–2:25. Tag each tree on site before cutting. Nearby vegetation can be removed without removing those trees.
03 / PEOPLE & EQUIPMENT
A practical order of work.
Open the route
Move loose objects by agreement. Clear small brush first. Set separate green-waste, metal and timber piles close to the verified loading route.
Specialist tree work
Book the large-tree removal near the garage. Have the arborist inspect both fence-embedded trunks before any fence cutting or pulling there.
Clear, dismantle & haul
Work through the remaining zones. Keep a hauler clearing as two people cut or dismantle. Rake, magnet-sweep fence debris and photograph completion.
General crew · 3
Lead: scope marking, controlled cutting, fence dismantling.
Second worker: loppers, pruning and brush bundling.
Hauler: wheelbarrow/cart, sorting, loading and cleanup.
Allow 42–70 person-hours for the general scope, including 6–9 hours of setup and cleanup. About 2–3 site days for 3 people, excluding off-site haul travel. Keep all three together for bulky loads.
Bring to site
Loppers, pruning saw, hedge trimmer, brush cutter, rakes, tarps, wheelbarrow or narrow cart, bolt cutters, fence pliers, pry bar, sockets, shovel and post puller where approved.
Eye/ear protection, gloves, boots and saw PPE where used. Experienced saw operator only. First-aid kit, cones, straps, a cargo net and a magnetic sweeper.
Arborist · separate
3-person tree crew, climbing/rigging or access equipment selected after inspection, saws, chipper and chip truck. The large tree is explicitly referred to another tree service.
½–1 day is a placeholder for the large tree alone. Fence-embedded trees require a separate decision and estimate; stump/root removal is not assumed.
04 / DEBRIS & TRANSPORT
From the yard to the trailer.
Green waste
Brush, shrubs and small trees from A, C, D and E. Bundle branches, use tarps for light brush and a narrow cart for the side passage. Heavy sections: mechanical help.
Chain-link & hardware
Roll manageable sections; protect sharp cut ends. Separate steel for recycling. Posts and concrete footings are a separate weight allowance.
Wooden fence · optional
Dismantle into cart-sized pieces. Keep painted/treated lumber out of green waste. Dispose of it as accepted construction debris.
RECOMMENDED HAUL SETUP
Rated tow vehicle + 7 × 14 ft dump trailer
With 4 ft sides: 14.5 yd³ geometric volume; use 10 yd³ effective capacity for bulky brush. Confirm actual payload, axle, tire, hitch and tow ratings; volume never overrides weight.
Keep metal, green waste and treated wood separate. A tree service chip truck is preferred for the large tree and is outside this trailer estimate.
Carry route first. Trailer second.
The side passage contains an A/C unit, trees and stored objects. Measure the tightest width and protect the condenser and siding. Start with a wheelbarrow or narrow garden cart; do not assume a mini skid steer or trailer can reach the backyard. Loading location and travel distance are not shown.
05 / SOURCE & CONFIRMATIONS

Machine-transcribed narration checked against visible scenes; ambiguous wording is flagged. No address or measured plan supplied.

Before the crew starts
- Walk each zone and mark exact removal / retention targets.
- Confirm whether the optional wooden fence is included.
- Clarify the fence/plant reference at 0:56–1:06 and the privacy screen at 1:34.
- Get the large-tree quote and an assessment of the fence-embedded trunks.
- Measure fence lengths, trunk sizes, access width and carry distance.
- Confirm fence ownership, utilities, disposal acceptance and vehicle ratings.
- Decide whether stumps, roots, concrete, grading and replacement fencing are included. Currently excluded.
