Hi Ben, Thanks for reaching out. We can provide a ballpark for removing your single ~40 ft mountain ash and removing the roots. Estimated range for the full job (fell, limb removal, stump/root work and disposal): $960 to $1,848. The estimate is based on a ground crew at $240/hour with an expected 4 to 7 hours of work. Lower-end scenarios are when the job is straightforward: easy access, small stump mass, grinding only and no work near structures. Higher-end scenarios include deeper root excavation, a large root ball, work right up against the house or walkway, or extra cleanup and disposal needs. I recommend a quick site visit to confirm scope and give you a firm price; you do not need to be home and we can schedule quickly and flexibly. Before the visit, could you confirm whether the stump/root mass is directly against the house or any paved areas, and whether you know of any buried utilities in that lawn area? Email contact is fine for scheduling. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
