Hi Glen, Thank you for reaching out; we can help with an assessment of the Amur Cherry and pruning of the willow and ash. As a preliminary range for this kind of visit, expect $600 to $1,800 and roughly 2 to 6 hours of on-site time with a ground crew. The lower end applies if the trees are small (under ~20 ft), access is easy, pruning is light, and there is minimal deadwood. The higher end applies if trees are medium to large, have lots of dead or hazardous wood, require reduction or work near structures or wires, or if the Amur Cherry needs diagnostic treatment. To firm up a quote I just need a few quick details or photos: approximate heights, pictures of the crowns, how the trees are accessed (front/back yard, gate sizes), presence of wires or structures nearby, and whether you want debris hauled away. I recommend a short site visit for a fixed written quote; we can schedule quickly and you do not need to be home for the visit. Please reply by email with the details or photos and your availability and I will follow up with firm pricing and scheduling options. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
Amur Cherry: apparent dieback/defoliation at crown requiring a health assessment and possible targeted work. Willow and Ash: pruning required; scope not specified.
Max: A visit would be good to firm up a quote. The tees are mature with easy access. The Ash is in the front yard and the Cherry and Willow are in the back yard. The Cherry is closed to the house. We are around on Sunday afternoon and Monday if you are available. Glen
Glen, Thanks for the update, that helps. I passed your availability and notes along to the owner, they will contact you directly to coordinate a time for a short site visit. To tighten the quote before the visit, a good preliminary range for mature trees with easy access, but with the cherry close to the house, is $900 to $1,500. This assumes a 2-person ground crew and about 3 to 5 hours on site, and includes cleanup and disposal. Stump grinding is not included unless you request it. If any trees are over ~50 ft, there are overhead power lines, or the cherry needs diagnostic treatment or complex rigging near the house, the final price may be higher. Could you confirm two quick items before the visit, approximate heights of the cherry, willow, and ash, and whether there are any overhead power lines or utility lines near the cherry or other trees? Photos are also welcome if you have them. You do not need to be home for the visit if that is more convenient. Thanks again, the owner will reach out to arrange the visit.

Thanks Max I’m hoping we don’t need to remove a tree and the associated stump grinding. Would like to restore the Cherry tree Regards, Glen > On Jun 27, 2026, at 9:07 PM, Calgary Tree Care & Arbourist Service <info@calgarytreecareservice.ca> wrote: > > Glen, > > Thanks, I received the photos and noted there are no power lines nearby, that helps a lot. > > I passed the pictures and your availability (Sunday afternoon and Monday) along to the owner, they will contact you directly to arrange a short site visit to firm up a written quote.

Glen, Thanks, that is helpful. I have noted you want to try to restore the Amur Cherry and avoid removal and stump grinding if possible, we will focus the assessment and pruning on restoration and preservation. I passed this preference and your earlier availability along to the owner, they will contact you directly to arrange the short site visit to firm up a written quote. You do not need to be home for the visit if that is more convenient. Quick question before the visit, if removal does become necessary would you like us to include stump grinding as an option in the written quote, or leave it out? Reply and I will pass that along. Best, Max Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161

Glen, Thanks, I have noted that if removal is necessary you would like stump grinding included as an option in the written quote, I have passed this along to the owner. The owner will contact you directly to coordinate the short site visit using your availability, Sunday afternoon or Monday. You do not need to be home for the visit if that is more convenient. Based on the photos and no nearby power lines, the tightened preliminary range remains $900 to $1,400 for a 2-person ground crew, roughly 3 to 5 hours on site, and includes cleanup and disposal. Stump grinding will be priced separately and shown as an optional line in the written quote if removal is required. If anything else changes before the visit, reply and I will pass it along to the owner. Best, Max Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
Hi Glen, Thanks for reaching out. We can take care of pruning your Amur Cherry and Ash; to provide an accurate written quote I need a couple quick details: approximate height of each tree and whether they are in the backyard or have any tight access near fences or structures. If you can, please send a few photos of each tree from the yard or street and let me know about any overhead wires or parking/access constraints. If it’s easier I can do a short site visit to measure and assess — no need for you to be home and we can schedule quickly. Once I have that info or after the site visit I’ll provide a firm written quote and timeline by email. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
Amur Cherry with a fair number of dead branches in the upper part that needs pruning; Ash tree needs maintenance pruning.
