If…read moreyou need tree work done in the Boulder front range area, Mountain Tree Care in Boulder is highly recommended. They've done several seasons-worth of tree care (mostly pruning and mitigation raising) at my mountain home in Boulder, and I've been consistently pleased with the results. They show up on time -- (well, ok, except that one time when they went to my neighbor's house, but hey, it happens) -- they work diligently, and have the equipment to get the job done right. Very professional outfit, great crews (Aaron owner, Caleb and Lydia) pleasure to do business with.

Summit Tree Care did an outstanding job removing five stumps and three very large trees from our…read moreproperty (2 ash and 1 maple). From start to finish, they were timely, professional, and incredibly thorough. The crew worked together like a well‑coordinated machine - efficient, safe, and clearly experienced. Their cleanup was exceptional; they left our yard looking better than when they arrived and truly went above and beyond in every aspect of the work. The quoting process was clear, straightforward, and stress‑free, and the team was very easy to communicate and work with throughout the entire project. We already know we'll be calling them again for future projects, and we highly recommend Summit Tree Care to anyone looking for reliable, high‑quality tree service.

They did the immediate cleanup up and came back for the large removal project. It could not have gone better. Fast forward 2 years and we needed to remove our last 2 conifers for wildfire mitigation in a high risk neighborhood. I called them back as I feel they are the best arborists around. Locally owned and staffed. The set up for the project went well, the timing perfect for summer between the move out of last year's students and the arrival for the upcoming year. The house closest to the tree is the house next to ours which is student rental home for CU off campus housing. When they are between summer moves , there are fewer parking issues as well as not interfering with their lifestyle. The team came this morning m, right in time, having procured the no parking signs for such work and having the utilities locators done in advance. The work when exceeding well, removing the already broken spruce and the aging and badly place piñon pine, too close to our house. The team of arborists were amazing. I would certainly use them again if I could but I am out of trees that will ever need removals. Call this place first if you are ever in need. In Colorado, we are facing terrible wildfire risks and all communities will need evaluation. In this area, Blue River can't be beat.

I had St Vrain quote a removal for an ash borer-killed (dying, not standing dead) tree in my…read morebackyard. Of about 7 quotes I received, St Vrain was one of two that insisted a crane was needed. The reason I'm writing a review as someone who chose not to employ this company is WHY I chose not to employ this company. I am a single female homeowner and did not at any time feel like John was listening to or respecting my requests for the job (leave a stump, leave trunk wood in firewood lengths, no grinding, dump chipped branches on the driveway). The quote that I received included none of my job requests which further concerned me that if I hired them, my desires would not be honored. The quote was not the highest but was four times the amount quoted by companies that were willing to remove the tree by climbing - of which there were many. I ended up having the tree removed and my requests honored for 25% of the cost quoted by St Vrain, so I recommend making sure you quote multiple companies for your job. I also caution against using this company as a single woman; bring your handyman, dad, brother, son, whatever to repeat your requests so they're actually heard.

Warning - Affordable Tree Service LLC (Thornton) Damaged My Property & Walked Off Job…read moreHi neighbors, I wanted to share my recent experience with Affordable Tree Service LLC (based at 9595 N Pecos St, Thornton, CO 80260) in case anyone is considering hiring them. They thought it would be a good idea to drive their big heavy heavy truck up onto my property and broke my concrete sidewalk (about 4 ft x 2.5 ft plus gutter section). The damage was clearly fresh I have photos. They admitted responsibility but only offered a $200 discount. They even told me they do concrete work, yet they refused to fix the damage themselves. When I pushed for a proper repair (my concrete contractor quoted ~$600 to match the new pour), they walked off the job after removing just one tree, said they "don't like people taking advantage of them," as if I'm the one who told them to drive the truck up on my property and break my concrete. Also they have refused multiple requests for their Certificate of Insurance. I'm now forced to handle the repair myself and search for another tree removal contractor and they're all really busy right now with the weather we just had. Please avoid this company. Demand insurance proof upfront, and consider other companies, I would not recommend this company if you value professionalism, accountability, or proper insurance documentation. Just wanted to warn others -- be very careful with access instructions and get insurance details in writing upfront.

Pricing issues Chris gave us an initial quote and was very confident, saying that other companies could be ripping us off by including extra work he claimed wasn't necessary. Once the job had already started, he changed his position and said the extra work might actually be needed. He then tried to charge us an additional amount that was higher than the price quoted by other companies we had contacted. Scheduling problems We never got a clear time for estimates or work. I constantly had to ask for an approximate arrival time. When he came on Friday, he worked for less than two hours and then stopped, saying he was "too tired" and would need to come back on Monday to finish. Unprofessional and aggressive communication When I followed up on Monday, Chris said he couldn't come as promised because he wanted to spend time with his kids. He said he could come Tuesday but "don't know when. maybe late afternoon." When I told him I was unhappy with that and the possible additional charges, the conversation escalated. He raised his voice, blamed me for "not letting him be with his kids," and kept yelling. I ended the call to stop the interaction. After that, he repeatedly called and sent a series of long, hostile text messages. In those messages, he called us "ungrateful," for him saving us and our tree, and criticized other tree companies, painting himself as the only one who can do the job. Most concerning, he sent a text saying he would come immediately to "undo" his work and that the tree would "fall and hit the house." Because of how serious that statement was, we told him we would contact the police and take legal action if he intentionally made the tree fall. Erratic behavior About 30 minutes after sending the angry messages and blocking my number, Chris showed up at our house acting like a completely different person. He apologized multiple times and even offered to finish all the work for free. We chose to pay the originally agreed-upon price just to end the situation and avoid further conflict. Sexist and dismissive behavior Chris was dismissive toward me when I asked questions. His tone was noticeably better when speaking to my husband. In one message, he said that hanging up the phone was "not adult-like" and specifically criticized me for "hanging up on men." Bottom line: This was an extremely stressful experience involving unclear pricing, constant schedule changes, aggressive communication, and statements that felt threatening. Chris said that even if we posted a negative review, he "doesn't care" because he is retiring in 2 years and he has enough clients who "love" him. We would not hire Chris again. If you care about clear estimates, reliability, professionalism, and being treated with respect, I recommend choosing another tree service company.

When I called Oak Arbor Care to have my trees trimmed during the dormant season, I could hardly…read morebelieve my ears when I was able to schedule a trimming within a week. Yesterday, as promised, "Curtis" arrived (15 minutes early!), ready to get to work. He started on my two dead aspen in my backyard, shinnying up the one good aspen, then, chunk by chunk, taking down the two dead trees. I watched for a few minutes because I find it interesting to see a professional at work. I left for a minute to start lunch, and by the time I came back the two trees were just about down. He had chainsawed 'em in the time it took for me to get lunch going, and was beginning to haul the wood from my lower back area, through the snow, around the house and into a chipper. I mean, talk about efficiency! About the time he was cleaning up, his partner and owner, "Jake Chestnut" arrived from another job. He climbed the other tree in need of trimming, an ash, in about two minutes, through the use of a rope and pulley system. Again, fascinating to watch. Jake selectively cut the limbs I had asked for him to take out that were covering my fireplace chimney. With Curtis' help he lowered the limbs piece by piece to the ground where Curtis cut them up. Together they ran them through the chipper. Afterward, Curtis raked the snow (!) to clear off the debris left from the cutting and hauled it up to the truck. Then the two of them chipped everything up and, with their blower, cleaned the area up, including the driveway and side yard. From beginning to end it hardly took two hours. Jake then came in to settle up with me. He charged me exactly what he said he would, and gave me the promised ten percent discount for cash. He'd told me this earlier so I was prepared. Who doesn't like a discount? I enjoy visiting my new bank anyway, so I did just that. My trees, while looking a little bare at the moment, will benefit in the long run from this professional trimming. Jake, a certified arborist for many years (I think he told me twelve) also told me about a possible problem I could have with some pines that I wasn't aware of. He told me how my trees could die in six months if they became infected with this particular insect. I need to contact him again about exactly what to look for. Without his having told me this though, my trees, which I planted over twenty years ago, could disappear that quickly without my even noticing. Bottom line is to contact a several arborist with good reviews, and walk through your yard with them. Then, LISTEN to what they say. It could save your trees!

After 25 years it was huge and we had Longs Peak Tree Care out several times over the last couple of yrs to trim and help us care for it. When it came time to say good bye, Mike was there the very next day and the 2 days following to cut and remove it. He was very courteous to our neighbors letting them know that some of it may land in their yards while assuring them, he'd be there to clean it up. He took his time and care as not to damage any of our fences and knew exactly what he was doing. God bless him, in 95+ degree weather! He hauled off the big stumps to use by wood burning companies and chipped up the rest out front. Everything was cleaned up and a substance applied to prevent sprouting of the existing ground roots. We'll miss the tree, but whole heartedly recommend Mike from Longs Peak Tree Care for all your tree trimming and removal needs.
