A couple of questions first.

What town are you in?
Is the tree on your property or is it your neighbors or on town property?

So that means you have to pay to get it removed. That stinks.
Hopefully someone on this board from your area can recommend a tree service company. Otherwise, check your local papers for companies that will remove it for you. Get a few price quotes and make sure they are insured in case they drop it and damage something on your property.

Maybe you can get it taken down by your gutter cleaners - it will certainly be cheaper than paying a tree man to roll the truck. That is if you hire out the gutter cleaning.

I say ignore it and wait until it crashes through your roof. Then call your insurance company, lie and get a new roof.

Or call a tree company, There are 62,000 of them on LI.

Nah, get a bow and arrow. Tie a rope to the arrow and shoot it into the tree. Tie the other end of the rope to your car and then back the car out of the driveway. Problem solved.

This will only work if she has a white SUV.
