Is $1,100 to widen gap around a tree in the deck a fair price?

Project Details

My house has a good sized Cyprus tree coming up out of the middle of the deck. My wife likes the shade, but the tree is growing into the decking. I'm worried the tree will get choked off, die, and be a pain. I'm also wondering if this is something I can fix myself with a circular saw, given where the weight-bearing beams are, especially since I'm furloughed due to the government shutdown and have time.

Quote Details

The work is intended to prevent the tree from being choked off by the decking. - Scope: Widen the gap around the Cyprus tree to prevent it from being choked off by the decking. - Provider: 'carpenter handyman' - Inspection: No boards were taken up to look under the deck during the quote.
