Hi Cailea, Thanks for getting in touch about the 9 poplars and the existing stumps. As a preliminary range, full removal of the 9 poplars is roughly $5,100 to $12,640. The lower end assumes smaller/medium trees, straightforward backyard access and minimal rigging. The higher end reflects larger trees, significant decay or tight/complex access or work close to structures. Stump grinding for all 11 stumps is roughly $1,320 to $4,950. The lower end assumes small stumps and easy machine access, while the higher end covers large root masses, restricted access or extra hauling of grindings. Combined preliminary pricing is approximately $6,420 to $17,586. These are estimates only and the high end includes a 25% buffer for unexpected difficulty or risk. To firm this up I just need a few quick details or photos: approximate height or trunk diameter of the poplars, a few photos showing backyard access and proximity to structures, and confirmation you want all 11 stumps ground and whether you want the wood/chips removed. You can also give us the address and we can do a quick site visit if you prefer. We offer a fast, flexible site visit with no need for you to be home if that works better. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
9 dying poplar trees in backyard to be fully removed; 2 existing stumps already present. Request removal of 9 trees and grinding of 11 stumps total. Timing preferred before winter but not urgent.
Thanks for the info. Here are some pictures. Showing access and spacing. 10 inch diameter and ~28-32 inch circumference.

Hi Cailea, Thanks for sending the photos and sizing, that helps a lot. Based on the access shown and the poplars being around 10 inches in diameter, I can tighten the preliminary estimate to roughly $5,970 to $10,260 total for removing the 9 poplars and grinding the 11 stumps. That breaks down to approximately $4,320 to $6,960 for the tree removals, including cleanup and disposal, plus about $1,650 to $3,300 for stump grinding. The main things that still affect where it lands in that range are exact stump size, machine access to the stump area, and whether there are any tighter clearances near fences or structures that are not fully visible in the photos. If you want to move ahead, send over the property address and I can have the owner review it for next steps. If needed, we can also arrange a site visit and you do not need to be home for that.

Hi again, Thanks for all of the info, I appreciate it. I think I will wait on anything further for now as the price range provided is significantly higher than the other companies I have received quotes from. Thank you very much though for the information. Have a great weekend.

Hi Cailea, Thanks for the update, and I completely understand. I appreciate you reaching out and giving us the opportunity to quote the work. If you decide you'd like us to take another look at it later, feel free to reply anytime. If it helps, we can also price just the tree removals first, or separate the stump grinding out more clearly if you want to compare apples to apples with the other quotes. Have a great weekend as well. Best, Max Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
