Full-Service Tree Care in Westminster, CO
Tree Removal
Close to a roof, fence, or utility line, we rig and lower sections piece by piece. On open lots, we may fell the tree whole to save time and cost.
Every removal includes:
- Site protection (plywood/mats over lawn and driveways)
- Sectional dismantling via rope-and-rigging or crane
- Full cleanup — wood, brush, and debris hauled away
- Stump cut flush or left at your preferred height
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Pruning is where residential trees gain or lose value over time. We handle crown cleaning (removing dead, diseased, and crossing limbs), crown raising (clearing limbs over walkways, driveways, and rooflines), crown thinning (improving light penetration and reducing wind resistance), and structural pruning (establishing a single dominant leader on young trees).
Stump Grinding & Removal
A ground stump lets you replant, re-sod, or extend a patio without working around a decaying obstacle. Left in place, stumps attract carpenter ants and can host root rot fungi that spread to nearby trees.
We grind 6 to 12 inches below grade for turf restoration and deeper when you plan to replant a tree in the same spot or pour concrete over the area.
Before grinding, we locate irrigation lines and mark utilities through 811. Sprinkler heads and drip lines around older
You can keep the grindings as mulch or have us haul them out and backfill with topsoil.
Land Clearing
Our Westminster tree servicers clear lots for new construction, detached garages, shop buildings, and expanded defensible space around homes near open space corridors.
Scope varies by project. A quarter-acre residential lot with scattered volunteer Siberian elm and Russian olive is a different job than clearing a fence line choked with brush and deadfall.
Typical land clearing work:
- Selective removal, keeping mature trees you want preserved
- Brush mowing and undergrowth removal
- Stump grinding or full stump extraction where grading follows
- Chipping on site or hauling material off
Storm Damage Cleanup
We respond to hanging limbs, split leaders, and trees resting on roofs, vehicles, or fences. Hangers caught in the canopy are the most immediate hazard — they can drop without warning.
Our crews stabilize the situation first, then assess whether the tree is worth saving. A tree that has lost less than half its canopy and retains an intact leader often recovers with corrective pruning.
We document damage with photos and provide written assessments for insurance claims. If a line is involved, we coordinate with Xcel Energy before starting work.

Tree Service FAQ
We handle tree removal, pruning and trimming, stump grinding, cabling and bracing, and planting for residential and commercial properties.
We also diagnose and treat common Front Range problems, including emerald ash borer, ips beetle in spruce and pine, fire blight on ornamental pears and crabapples, and iron chlorosis in maples and oaks.
Yes. We visit the property, look at the tree from the base up, and give you a written price before any work is scheduled.
The estimate covers the full scope: takedown method, equipment needed, cleanup, and hauling. There are no hidden add-ons revealed after the crew arrives.
If a tree is on a shared property line or near utility lines, we will point that out during the walkthrough and explain how it affects the approach.
We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and we can provide certificates of insurance on request before work begins.
This matters more than most homeowners realize. If an uninsured crew damages your roof or a worker is injured in your yard, liability can shift to you as the property owner.
Cost depends on height, trunk diameter, species, lean, and what sits underneath the canopy. A small ornamental in an open front yard is a straightforward job.
Most residential removals in our area fall somewhere between a few hundred dollars and several thousand. Stump grinding is usually priced separately, based on stump diameter and grinding depth.
We give written estimates after looking at the tree in person. Photos help for a rough range, but access, drop zone, and debris hauling distance all affect the final number.
Yes. Spring snow loads, summer downbursts, and heavy wet snow in October and April regularly split limbs and uproot trees across Adams and Jefferson counties.
We respond to storm damage calls, including limbs on roofs, blocked driveways, and trees hanging over sidewalks or streets.
If a tree is touching a power line, call Xcel Energy first. We do not work near energized lines until the utility has cleared or de-energized them.
We grind stumps below grade so you can reseed, replant, or lay sod over the area. Grinding depth depends on what you plan to do with the space, and we will ask before we start.
Debris removal is included unless you tell us otherwise. Some customers keep the wood for firewood or ask us to leave chips for mulch beds, which is fine and reduces the haul-off portion of the job.
