Tree Trimming & Pruning for Westminster homeowners and property managers
Westminster's newer trees are the best pruning value in the metro: one structural prune at fifteen years prevents the split that would otherwise cost you the tree.
Arvada, Wheat Ridge, and Lakewood have some of the oldest trees in the metro area — big ash, elm and maple trees that were never structurally pruned when young. We prune to ANSI A300 standards: remove deadwood, correct co-dominant leaders, thin for wind and lift canopies off roofs and sidewalks without ever topping a tree.

The trees we see most in Westminster
Westminster canopy is dominated by ten- to twenty-five-year-old ash, autumn blaze maple and pear with competing leaders that split in wet spring snow. That shapes how we approach tree trimming & pruning here rather than applying one generic method everywhere.
Westminster subdivisions are newer, so most yards are fenced with tight gates and young sod. We usually crane or rig over fences rather than drag through side yards, and we mat wherever wheels have to cross turf.

Tree Trimming & Pruning in Westminster: common questions
How often should trees be trimmed?
Mature shade trees do well on a 3–5 year cycle. Young trees benefit from a light structural prune every 2–3 years, and fruit trees are best pruned annually while dormant.
Will trimming hurt my tree?
Proper pruning helps. We remove no more than about 25% of live canopy in a visit and cut at the branch collar so the wound closes naturally. Topping and over-thinning are what damage trees.
Can you clear limbs off my roof?
Yes — crown raising and clearance pruning is one of our most common calls. We keep roughly 6–10 feet between the canopy and the roofline to stop abrasion and squirrel access.
Do you haul away the branches?
Always. All brush is chipped and removed, and we blow down the lawn, walkways and driveway before we leave.
