Hi Josh, Thanks for the details. We can provide preliminary estimates for the large green ash pruning and the large spruce removal, and we need a bit more info to quote the dead tree accurately. For the green ash pruning we estimate about 4–8 hours with a bucket truck and arborist rigging, priced roughly $1,440–$2,880. The lower end assumes good access, no significant decay, and minimal rigging; the higher end covers tight access, work over the roof, heavy limbs, or coordination with ENMAX. For the large spruce removal we estimate about 5–8 hours with a bucket truck and precision lowering, priced roughly $1,800–$2,880. The lower end assumes straightforward drops and good access; the higher end accounts for complex rigging, lean toward the garage, or the need for additional crew or an extra day. We can’t reliably quote the dead tree without its size and exact location; please send a photo and approximate height or allow a brief site visit. If the dead tree is small to medium a separate removal is often in the $600–$1,200 range, but we will confirm after photos or inspection. We recommend a short site visit to confirm access, exact heights, and any special rigging needs; we can schedule quickly and you do not need to be home. Photos from the street and the base of each tree will also help firm up the quote. If that works, please call or text the best time for a visit or reply with photos and the dead tree height; you indicated phone is preferred so we will call 403-809-6179. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
