Hi Adam, Thanks for the details. Based on what you sent we can provide a preliminary quote range for removing the 50 ft evergreen in your backyard. Preliminary quote: $2,340 to $2,940. The lower end assumes easy access, minimal rigging, no utility shutdown, and that the wood stays on site. The higher end reflects the added time and safety work required because the tree is close to your house and live power lines, possible need for a bucket truck, and potential utility coordination or extra rigging. Estimated on-site time is about 6.5 to 8 hours with a bucket truck crew. We can do a quick site visit to confirm distances to the house and the power lines and to finalize a firm price; you do not need to be home and we can schedule fast and flexibly. Could you confirm approximately how far the trunk and lower branches are from the house and whether the power line is overhead or to the side? Text is fine and I’ll follow up on scheduling. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
