Duke,
You are right, they are just trees. However, the homeowners my have a different opinion of new saplings being substituted for 20+ year old mature trees. Yes, saplings will grow into mature trees, but they are not a direct substitute. Now the cost to replace mature trees might just be a little more than just a couple of hundred dollars as you suggest.
Would it be possible to split the cost with the contractor who took the trees down? Maybe. However, if that contractor believes they committed no error in the removal of the trees, how willing are they going to be to pay a portion of the cost. Be honest, if you felt you did nothing wrong, how likely are you going to be to say, "sure, here's money to make something right that I did not make wrong."
