Schedule Tree Removal Services in Fort Collins
Tree removal requires careful assessment of each situation. We inspect the tree's size, health, proximity to structures, and any hazards like decay or storm damage. Fort Collins weather can change rapidly - a tree that looks stable in summer may become dangerous after a winter storm or high winds.
Every removal starts with an onsite evaluation. We look at access routes, overhead obstacles, and the safest way to bring the tree down without damaging your property. Some trees can be felled in one piece, others need to be cut in sections and rigged down with ropes. The approach depends on the specific conditions at your property.
What to Expect When You Book
On removal day, we bring chainsaws, rigging equipment, and chippers. For trees near structures or in tight spaces, we section the tree from top to bottom, lowering each piece with ropes and pulleys. Ground crews guide limbs and trunk sections away from buildings, vehicles, and landscaping.
We clean up all debris and haul it away. The area is left ready for whatever you plan to do next - whether that's planting a new tree, expanding a garden, or just having more open space.
Tree Removal FAQs
Every tree removal begins with an onsite evaluation. We inspect the tree's size, health, proximity to structures, and any potential hazards such as root decay or storm damage.
How long does a typical tree removal take?
Most residential tree removals take half a day to complete. Larger trees or complicated sites may require a full day. We'll give you a time estimate during the initial assessment.
What equipment is used during removal?
We use chainsaws, rigging ropes, pulleys, and wood chippers. For difficult removals, we may bring in a bucket truck. The equipment varies based on tree size, location, and site access.
Will my yard be damaged during the process?
We use ground protection mats when needed and plan our work to minimize impact. Some lawn compression is unavoidable with heavy equipment, but we restore disturbed areas and clean up completely.
Can you remove trees close to power lines?
Trees near power lines require coordination with the utility company and specialized safety procedures. We assess the situation during our site visit and determine the safest approach.
What happens to the wood after removal?
All debris gets hauled away. You can keep wood chips for mulch if you want them, or we'll dispose of everything. The choice is yours.
