Sandy Pittet

Hi Sandy, Thanks for getting in touch. I noticed the form lists stump-grinding but your note says a trim, so can you confirm whether you want pruning for the three poplars or stump removal? Can you estimate the trees' heights or trunk diameters and let me know if any are close to the house, garage, fences, or power lines? Please also tell me about backyard access (gates, narrow paths, steps) and attach a couple of photos if you can. As a rough ballpark for pruning mature 50-year-old poplars we would expect about $3,200 to $6,750 for all three trees; the lower end assumes easy access, minimal structural pruning, and no work near buildings, and the higher end reflects tight backyard access, heavy deadwood, or precision work near structures. If you actually meant stump grinding we will provide a separate estimate once you confirm and send photos. We can do a quick site visit to confirm details and give a firm quote, you do not need to be home and scheduling is flexible. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
