Hi Christine, Thanks for the details. Based on the info provided I can give a preliminary price range for removing the older Siberian Elm near the power lines plus the 20-30 ft pine, including grinding both stumps. Preliminary estimate: $3,600 to $5,850. The lower end assumes the elm is closer to 30-40 ft, good driveway access, minimal rigging, and straightforward stump grinding. The higher end applies if the elm is large or dead, requires complex rigging or bucket work near the power lines, extra safety/utility coordination, or tight work to protect the adjacent elm you want to keep. Because the elm is near power lines and only 6-8 ft from a tree you want to keep, we will use a bucket crew and take extra precautions, which increases time and cost. Stump grinding for both stumps is included in the range above. Before booking I just need the elm height, confirmation you want the stumps ground flush (or removed), and a quick note about access (driveway or gate) and any underground sprinklers or obstacles. Photos are very helpful and speed up an accurate quote. We can do a fast site visit to confirm details and give a firm quote. You do not need to be home and we can schedule at your convenience. If email works best I will follow up there, or I can call 403-400-5541 if you prefer to chat about access and timing. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
