Hazard Tree Assessment and Safe Removal

Before any tree comes down, we assess its overall health and condition, checking for structural weakness, storm damage, disease, and pest activity like beetle kill. Widow-makers and hazard branches are identified and removed along with the tree itself, so nothing is left behind that could fall on a home, vehicle, or structure later.

Trees bucked and stacked into firewood piles after removal

Once a tree is felled, we process it based on what works best for your property.

  • Stacked into slash piles

  • Create burn piles

  • Buck and stack as firewood (away from your home)

  • Chipping is also available on request

  • Hauled offsite

Ultimately, nothing is left as loose debris that could become wildfire fuel later.

From Removal to Firewood

Beetle-infested trees have a low survival rate once damage sets in, and we assess each tree to determine what can be saved and what needs to come down. We also watch for signs of sudden aspen decline, a stress condition tied to drought that's increasingly common in Western Colorado. In areas like Glade Park, dealing with Ips beetle activity, we work within seasonal cutting windows to limit further spread.
