Signs That A Tree Is Becoming A Hazard
There are many indications that a tree is no longer adding to the value of your property. And in many cases, it is actually detracting from the value because it is a safety hazard. Some of the reasons a tree is becoming unsafe and should be removed include:
- It is leaning on or over a structure, wall, or road and is becoming unstable
- It is infested by pests such as termites, ants, or other bugs that are destroying the integrity of the tree
- Significant damage like a split in the trunk is reducing the structural durability of the tree
- Fungus or disease is consuming the tree
- The tree was never properly trimmed and has grown in an unstable and unsafe shape or manner, such as lopsided or with a hollow trunk
- The tree has reached the end of its natural lifecycle and is in decline
These issues hint that the tree is no longer thriving and could soon become a safety hazard to you, your loved ones, or the property. Call (720) 783-7434 for a free price quote to remove the tree and your reason for concern.

FAQs About Tree Removal
What factors affect tree removal costs in Boulder County, CO?
Costs depend on tree size, height, location, accessibility (need for a crane), and urgency. We provide free, no-obligation estimates with transparent flat-rate pricing.
How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?
Trees that are dead, leaning significantly, severely damaged, or showing signs of disease often need removal. Warning signs include cracking trunks, hollow cavities, falling branches, or fungal growth at the base.
Do I need permission to remove a tree in Boulder County?
It depends on the tree’s location and size. Trees on private property generally have fewer restrictions than street trees, but local codes vary. We guide you through the permitting process.
Is it safe to remove a tree myself?
We strongly advise against DIY removal. It is dangerous work requiring training and insurance. Our professionals have the equipment to handle the tension and weight of heavy timber safely.
What happens to the stump?
Standard removal leaves a stump, but we offer stump grinding services to remove the stump below the soil line, allowing you to replant or sod over the area.
Do you offer emergency tree removal in Boulder County?
Yes. We provide emergency tree removal for trees that have fallen, are leaning dangerously, or are at immediate risk of hitting a home, vehicle, or power line. Our crew can secure the site, remove hazardous sections, and prevent further damage as quickly as possible.
