Our Tree Pruning Services

We don’t just “hack” at trees; we care for them. Our team adheres to the highest industry standards for arboriculture. We offer a variety of pruning techniques tailored to the specific needs of each tree species found in the Front Range.

Crown Cleaning: The removal of dead, dying, diseased, crowded, and weakly attached branches from the crown of the tree. This is the foundation of good tree maintenance.
Crown Thinning: Selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown. This also reduces the weight on heavy limbs, retaining the tree’s natural shape while making it safer.
Crown Raising: Removing the lower branches of a tree to provide clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, buildings, or lines of sight.
Structural Pruning: Essential for young and maturing trees, this process establishes a strong central leader and proper branch architecture, preventing expensive problems down the road.
Hazard Reduction Pruning: Specifically targeting heavy or extended limbs that pose a threat to structures or people.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

When is the best time to trim my trees?

Generally, late winter or early spring (dormant season) is the best time for major structural pruning, as it minimizes stress on the tree and reduces the risk of disease transmission. However, dead or hazardous branches can and should be removed at any time of year.

Do I need to be home while you work?

Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the yard (unlocked gates, no loose pets), we can perform the work while you are away. We are happy to communicate via phone or text during the process.

Is tree trimming dangerous?

It can be, which is why it should be left to professionals. We use specialized safety gear, ropes, and cranes to ensure the safety of our crew and your home. We are available for 24/7 Emergency Service if a storm leaves you with a dangerous situation.

How often should I have my trees trimmed?

Most mature trees benefit from trimming every 3 to 5 years, while younger trees may require pruning every 2 to 3 years to establish good structure. We can recommend a specific schedule based on the species and health of your trees during our initial assessment.

Do you handle insurance billing for storm damage?

Yes, we do. If a storm has damaged your trees, we can work directly with your insurance company to handle the billing for the necessary cleanup and removal, making the process as stress-free as possible for you.
