We have over $1 million worth of equipment to utilize for your project. If your tree has limited access this will require different approaches, such as climbing the tree. And while national standards are important, we also follow the best practices set forth by the City Forester of Denver. In fact we are licensed by the city. Tree trimming in Denver is guided by strict guidelines and laws. It is a violation of city ordinance to have city trees trimmed by an unlicensed tree company. |

Unfortunately, many trimming jobs we do involve correcting the bad techniques of other tree services. If the proper pruning cuts aren’t made then:
- The branch structure will be weakened (especially on ash trees)
- Suckers will sprout out which diverts energy in the tree system (especially true when you top a tree)
- Cuts heal improperly (frequently caused by flush cuts)
So, our in-house arborists continually update our tree crews on the best practices for pruning in Denver.
Those arborists in turn receive training through,
- The Rocky Mountains Chapter of the ISA
- Arborist consulting seminars
- Research in peer-reviewed journals and websites
Our registered arborists’ research and consulting are done in the domain of,
- customer education

In the following we pull back the curtain to reveal what we do when we do tree trimming.
Tree Appearance – When trimming young trees, the emphasis should be on producing a strong structure, preparing the plant for a long, healthy lifetime. Mature trees are pruned to maintain structure, form, health and appearance. Before you cut a healthy tree down, give us a call, we may be able to come up with an affordable alternative.
Safety - Pruning for safety involves the removal of branches that could fall and cause injury or damage to property. Branches that interfere with the line-of-sight on streets, driveways and sidewalks need to be removed. Safety pruning can also include the select removal of branches growing into, over and under structures, reducing building maintenance costs. This may also include tree bracing.
Tree Health – Trimming for health involves the removal of diseased or insect infested branches, thinning the crown to increase airflow, and the removal of crossing and rubbing branches. Pruning is the best method to reduce the likelihood of storm damage during the high winds and heavy snow loads in our fierce Colorado climate.
