On the OTHER hand, if someone is actually doing tree work on a house nearby, offering them cash to come take care of your place at 30% their normal rate seems to work really really well.
I was quoted 1600 bucks to trim two trees in the front of my house, and my neighbor had the same guy doing the same work. I slipped him 4 hundred bucks cash, and they took care of both of my trees. The truck was there, the guys were there, and the boss was not there. They each got 100 bucks to do a couple extra hours work.

Win-win.
