Some cities will require a permit to cut a tree down.

Chestnut is not really a usable wood.
And I would really shop around for a better price, that company is abusive.
I don't have to cut it down, but it at least needs to be trimmed quite severely, and the gardener didn't think it would be a sound option in the long run aesthetically or economically.

About the price: Workmen are really expensive here. Expect to pay around 75-90 $ per hour.
