Heather

Hi Heather, Thanks for reaching out. Based on what you described I can provide a preliminary range of $2,160 to $2,940 to prune both large trees. The lower end assumes straightforward access, no overhead power lines, and only standard thinning and limb removal. The higher end reflects the tighter alley access behind the garage, pruning close to the structure, larger canopy size, complex rigging needs, or the job requiring an extra crew/day. This is an hourly bucket truck estimate and the final cost will be confirmed after a quick site visit. I will follow up by email as requested. Could you confirm approximate tree heights or trunk diameters, species, and send a couple of photos of the trees and access? Please also let me know if there are any power lines nearby and whether we have permission to use the alley for equipment. We can schedule a short site visit at your convenience and there is no need for you to be home for that. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
