Hi Irene, Thanks for reaching out — we can help with the dead trees and with documenting the condition if you need to pursue the builder or developer. Based on what you said, a very rough starting estimate is between $700 and $1,848 for removing two typical small-to-medium dead trees. The lower end reflects small trees with easy backyard access and no stump grinding, while the higher end accounts for larger trees, tight access, work close to the house or fences, or complex rigging and disposal needs. To give an accurate written quote I just need a few quick details: please confirm the exact number of trees, approximate height or trunk diameter, whether the trees are directly beside the house or other structures, whether you want the stumps ground, and whether there is gate/driveway access for equipment. Photos from the backyard and from the house showing the trees and access are very helpful. We can do a quick site visit to confirm everything and provide a firm quote; you do not need to be home and we can schedule something that works with your availability. Phone is your preferred contact and that works fine; I can call or text to arrange the visit. Thanks, and feel free to give us a shout if you have any questions, Max, Calgary Tree Care & Arborist Service (587) 329-7161
