Hi Jo-Lynn, Thanks for reaching out. We can trim your large ornamental crab apple so it no longer touches the house. Based on your description, a preliminary price range is $600 to $1,350. Lower-end estimates reflect a medium-size tree with good backyard access, light pruning just to stop contact with the house, and no overhead wires. Higher costs apply for a larger tree, heavy canopy reduction, work very close to the house requiring precise rigging, limited access, or extra clean-up time. To provide a firm quote I just need a couple quick details: approximate tree height, how close branches are to the siding, whether there are overhead wires or obstacles, and gate/yard access width. Photos sent to the email you provided are great if convenient. We can also do a quick site visit to confirm scope and give you a fixed written quote. There is no need for you to be home and we can schedule at your convenience. We will follow up by email as requested unless you prefer another contact method. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
