Tree Removal in Lakewood, CO
Dead, hazardous or crowding trees taken down in controlled sections — with every branch, log and chip hauled away. Serving Lakewood and the rest of Denver West.
Tree Removal for Lakewood homeowners and property managers
Lakewood removals split between mid-century ash that borer finished off and storm-split pines on the Green Mountain slopes, where the drag path matters as much as the cut.
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 Lakewood
Lakewood canopy is dominated by mature ash and honeylocust in the mid-century neighborhoods, pine and spruce on the Green Mountain benches, plus crowded ornamental pears. That shapes how we approach tree removal here rather than applying one generic method everywhere.
Lakewood ranges from tight Belmar-area lots to acre parcels near Green Mountain. Sloped Green Mountain yards mean we plan drag paths and grinder access before quoting rather than after.

Tree Removal in Lakewood: 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.
