Tree Removal in Denver, CO
Dead, hazardous or crowding trees taken down in controlled sections — with every branch, log and chip hauled away. Serving Denver and the rest of Denver West.
Tree Removal for Denver homeowners and property managers
West Denver removals happen in alleys and between houses, with utility drops overhead and no room to drop anything larger than a few feet at a time.
Dead ash, storm-split silver maples and oversized cottonwoods are the three takedowns we do most. Our climbers rig and lower each section over fences, sheds and power drops instead of dropping whole trees, then haul everything out and blow the yard clean before we leave.

The trees we see most in Denver
Denver canopy is dominated by century-old silver maple and elm in the older neighborhoods, plus ash and honeylocust in the postwar blocks. That shapes how we approach tree removal here rather than applying one generic method everywhere.
West Denver means alleys, overhead utility drops, street parking and neighbors within a few feet. We handle traffic control and drop-zone protection, and we schedule around parking restrictions on the tighter blocks.

Tree Removal in Denver: common questions
How much does tree removal cost?
Cost depends on height, trunk diameter, canopy spread and access. A tree over a roof, pool or power service takes longer to rig than the same tree in an open yard. Estimates are free and fixed before we start.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Trees on private property generally do not require a permit in Arvada, Wheat Ridge or Lakewood. Trees in the public right-of-way — the strip between sidewalk and street — are city-managed and do require approval. We help you file that request.
Is the stump included?
Stump grinding is priced separately but can be done in the same visit. We grind 6–8 inches below grade so the spot can be re-sodded or replanted.
Are you insured?
Yes — general liability and workers' compensation. We provide a certificate of insurance before any work begins, and you can have it sent directly from our carrier.
