Ryan has treated a tremendous number of trees for me, and they're all healthy. Even the ones that went through last year's tornado in Highlands Ranch! Knowledgeable & professional read more

Highly recommended. We hired Ryan to do a consultation. Worth it. We learned a lot. He spends a lot a time fully explaining what he is seeing. He also convinced us that "we could delay" some tree pruning. read more

I called them out because my ash tree was looking pretty bad. Not only were they on time, they took the time to clearly explain why my ash was 'sick', including examples and pointing things out on my tree. they examined all of my trees! I appreciated the thorough explanations and would recommend Sanctuary Tree to everyone. read more

We had Ryan out to check out three trees on our property. He did a thorough job inspecting the trees and an incredible effort in diagnosing an issue we had with one of them. While the other folks I had out for bids came and went quickly, he took his time to look around at options on how we could address a crack in our large hackberry. I really appreciate his attentiveness and the quality of his work. He really cares about the trees we have in our neighborhood. We've already recommended to all of our neighbors! read more

I trimmed a tree in my front yard and generated a lot of tree limbs / brush. Sanctuary Tree agreed to stop by my house if they were in my neighborhood and remove / chip the limbs. Without a way to for me to easily get rid of the limbs on my own, I was very thankful Sanctuary Tree was willing to do this. They were very prompt and polite to reply to my voicemail and charged a fair price. Will definitely use and recommend Sanctuary Tree's services again. Pro Tip: If you decide to hire Sanctuary Trees for a similar service, help the crew out and pile all your limbs with the butts facing the same way and / or make a nice clean wind row with the branches. It is much easier to haul / drag piles of brush when they are oriented in this way. I grew up in NH and have piled my fair share. read more

I can't say enough about Ryan and Sanctuary Tree! Ryan came out to look at our trees and shared a ton of information about them and what they need! We have a tree that we love and is struggling, Ryan trimmed it and told us what we need to do to help it. He also trimmed our apple tree in back and explained what it needed to remain healthy. His work is impecable and his knowledge unbelievable! His is the best! read more

I think I've used Ryan and his crew 3-4 times now for pruning, removing a tree that was invading my fence, and tree health (fire blight control). He's great at corresponding, he's friendly, his crew is efficient and clean, and you can tell this is his passion. I wouldn't use any other arborist! Thanks Ryan!! read more

My entire experience was seamless with Sanctuary Tree. I needed to have some trees trimmed that were billowing over a property line. The estimate visit was scheduled quickly and Ryan was extremely knowledgeable and descriptive on the process of the work I was requesting. Once the estimate was approved, we had scheduled a time to complete the work within a week. On the day the work was done, it was completed in less time than I expected and the quality of the work was excellent. My yard was left in great shape and they were very particular on the clean up. I feel the cost of the project was suitable and not over priced. They were even able to accommodate a last minute tree removal for my neighbor. I'm confident that I found a vendor that I will use in the future for other landscaping needs. read more

We have used the services of Ryan and the Sanctuary Tree and Garden Care team for more than a year and highly recommend them. They are friendly, reasonably priced and reliable. When our maple tree weakened, they boosted its health with a timely treatment. Sanctuary is our go-to-tree-care-company. read more

Recently hired Ryan (owner of Sanctuary Tree) to do some major work on my trees. Ryan and his team did outstanding work and provided excellent customer service. The work included: Trimming and fertizilizing a huge silver maple, removing several boxelders, and grinding out stumps. The Bid: I was initially attracted to Sanctuary Tree because of their 5-Star rating, and the fact that he lives a couple of blocks away from me. I prefer to support small local business, and he's practically a neighbor. I set up an appointment with Ryan, which ended up being an in depth consultation from which I learned more than I ever knew about trees. He is truly passionate about his work and is an educated arborist. He walked my entire property with me, listening to my concerns and offering his insight. He isn't pushy with unnecessary work and he gives it to you straight. Several days later I received a detailed quote from him. He knew I was undecided about certain work, so his quote included all possible scenarios that we discussed. I got back to him with exactly what I wanted, and he reworked his quote to include only the work I wanted done. I received several quotes from other companies. One company stopped by my property while I wasn't home, and gave me a quote based on my conversation with their receptionist. This automatically disqualified them for me, since I had specific concerns which could only be described in an on-site face to face discussion. Another larger company met me at my property to discuss the work. He seemed like a good guy, but when I asked him if he would be on site during the job, he revealed that his job is to obtain the work and his foreman would be on site. This turned me off to them because I didn't like the idea of a stranger showing up at my house to do the work, I was afraid of the "bait and switch" between a smooth talking salesman and an indifferent foreman and crew. Ultimately I went with Ryan because I knew what I was getting. I think he only has one crew which he leads, and I liked that I'd be dealing with him the whole way. The Work: We set a date for the work to begin. However mother nature and the city of Denver's street replacement crew had other plans. Ryan and his team were very accommodating and flexible with multiple rounds of rescheduling to work around these factors. Tree day finally arrived, and I was working at home so I got to watch from start to finish. By far their biggest task was trimming my giant silver maple. They blocked off the area with cones and got to work. My expectation was that they'd get up there in some kind of lift and go at it with a chainsaw. Instead two guys set lines in the tree and started climbing. They made precise cuts, mostly with a hand saw. They were equipped with a mini chainsaw, but seemed to use it only when needed. They tested the integrity of the limbs, and cut away all of the dead they could find. Ryan was down below managing the operation, while other crew members put the failed limbs into the chipper. It was fascinating to watch these dudes climb so high in my tree and do their thing. My biggest fear in this process was that I would hire someone who would just butcher my tree with a chainsaw, or that they would only cut the tree to city code and not worry much about the rest. I've definitely seen some "trimmed" trees where most of the major branches have been hacked off and the tree hardly has any leaves left. Thankfully my experience was the exact opposite. My tree still looks like a full and healthy tree, but without all of the dangerous loose and dead stuff hanging in there. These guys are true pros and knew exactly where to cut. The removal of the boxelders also went smoothly. One of the guys noticed me out there collecting pieces of wood that looked like they'd be good firewood. He offered to cut up some parts of the boxelder trunks for me if I wanted. That was really cool of him and much appreciated. Also I had another small tree that was not included in the scope of the work. Ryan took it upon himself to cut away a few suckers and give it a quick prune. He didn't have to do that, but that just speaks to the kind of guy he is. The Crew: Ryan's team consisted of himself and about 4 other young men. They were all really good guys, and very friendly. They were courteous to me and my family, as well as my neighbors. They love what they do and they work well together. I would've offered them some beer if they weren't operating chainsaws on my property :) The Result: Complete satisfaction from start to finish. They did a full clean-up as well, you wouldn't know they were here. My neighbors have been complimenting our tree, and asking Ryan for quotes. Sanctuary Tree was in line with the other quotes I received. Though they were not the cheapest, I felt as though they offered the most value with how thorough they were with every task (no shortcuts). Thank you to Ryan and team! read more

The company called us back and they do not service central Denver. Their profile (which states "Serving Denver") should state specifically WHERE they service, to prevent people from wasting time contacting them. Thank you. read more

I had Ryan come out to prune a sick cherry tree and he was really professional, listened to what I wanted, and gave sound advice. The other arborist I had come out was a lot less pleasant, demeaning, and took a scorched earth approach to my backyard. Ryan gave some much needed TLC to my 25+ year old tree and I am hopeful it will recover nicely this spring. read more

Ryan and his team did an excellent job dealing with several years of neglect and storm damage. They took the time to walk through every aspect of the project and make sure they were taking care of what was needed while not overly stressing the trees. He spent quite a bit of time educating both new team members and me on tree health, what to look for, and describing common pests/diseases for each species. (Luckily, everything was healthy!) The job took a little longer than I had expected but everything looks absolutely wonderful. It is obvious Ryan is very passionate about his work. Sanctuary prices are definitely not the cheapest in the area but neither is the result. Worth every penny. read more

I highly recommend Sanctuary Tree and Garden Care, LLC. Earlier this year, Ryan removed a tree stump in my backyard. Before meeting Ryan, I got price quotes from 3 other tree companies. I chose to work with Ryan for two main reasons: His quote was fair and because he was (by far) the most educated and passionate about his work. Sanctuary Tree and Garden Car, LLC did a great job! read more

Ryan and his team did an amazing job pruning and bolting our large aging hackberry. While the process took a few days to work through issues and get the right tools, Ryan and his team did a great job. They took a lot of time to assess to the tree when they were out and give it the right attention. It looks magnificent this year. They are worth the time and money if you really care about your trees! read more

Ryan Bartlett and Sanctuary Tree have cared for our 14 trees for the past year. He has done a great job and clearly cares about his work and the trees he cares for! Ryan is easy to work with and I found his prices very reasonable compared to other arborists. I would highly recommend. read more

Ryan and his team are top notch and have a true passion for what they do! My neighbor has 4 Siberian Elms that were overflowing onto my property that needed to be trimmed back to protect my home and yard. Ryan and his team showed up on time, walked me through what they were planning to do so we were all on the same page (similar to what was done when Ryan provided the estimate) and they did a thorough job of cleaning up afterwards. Not only is my home and yard better protected from these huge, towering trees, but I also have so much more light in my home. Please note that to book Sanctuary Tree, it will be a few weeks out. That is because they are the best at what they do and they are in high demand as a result. read more

We were ECSTATIC with this crew's work yesterday!! Efficient, safe, friendly and clearly love what they do. And left our yard cleaner than before they arrived! Had a blast watching them climb our huge trees - no ladders for these guys! Their bid also came in $4,200 LESS than another (I always get two). It's too bad that experiencing such great customer service is so rare. Sanctuary Tree was awesome from A to Z. THANK YOU!! read more

Excellent quick service response after a spring storm took down some of our trees. Highly recommend.

There should be more stars for this company. Ryan and his crew are RIGHTEOUS!!! They truly care about what they do and they do it very well. They pruned my elm tree in our front yard. Not only was it fun to watch them in the trees but Ryan also gives you so much information about your tree. I will never use a "big box" tree company again. These are my "forever tree guys"!!! The entire crew was professional, friendly, fun and informative. Hire this company TODAY!!! read more

Ryan and team at Sanctuary did a great job at removing my dead Aspen. I had built a deck around the tree so there wasn't much to work with but they did a beautiful job. Sanctuary was recommended to me by a long-term client and I love doing business that way. It's refreshing to have folks show up and do what was discussed at the exact correct price. Plus, Ryan was very personable and took the time to educate me on my trees when doing the initial meeting. My experience was great and I would not hesitate to recommend Sanctuary to friends. read more

This review is over a year late, but wanted to share my WONDERFUL experience using Sanctuary Treet service. We have a HUGE (5 story+) Ash tree in our back yard that hadn't been pruned in like 30 years. I had a few quotes, and decided on Sanctuary Tree due to their very competitive pricing and the confidence I felt in their expertise. They were hired and did an excellent HUGE job that took more days then expected, due to rain and overall need for the tree, and there was no change in price. They worked extremely hard and fast and left the yard in great condition. I'm was excited to give this very valuable tree the care it needed and I will always go back to Sanctuary Tree for future services. Call them today!!! read more

Website says "Denver and surrounding areas". Called for a quote in East Denver, zip 80220, 6th and Monaco, and was told I was out of the service area. Huh? read more

This place is great. After a few miscommunications (from both sides), everything went smoothly. Their estimate was more than reasonable compared to others I received and the final cost was exactly what I was quoted and the job was done beyond what I had expected. I would highly recommend this company to everyone. Plus, it is always good to support local businesses. read more

We had fire blight on several trees and multiple arborist consultations. Ryan was very thorough, took more time both in person and on the phone, and had the most reasonable pricing of everyone. Additionally he evaluated my trees within 24 hours of my phone call (not to guarantee that but other businesses took a week to call me back). I would use him again without hesitation. He gives the impression that he truly loves working with trees and isn't in this just for the money. read more

We had Ryan and his crew remove some large trees from our yard. Their prices were competitive, and they were very professional. He even went the extra mile and leveled off some long tree stumps we had, so that we could build a tree house. My kids will be so happy! We are very pleased with Sanctuary Tree and Garden's services! We will definitely use this company again! read more

I highly recommend Sanctuary Tree and Garden Care. They are true professionals. Promptly returned my calls, were there when they said they would be, took great care of my trees. Ryan shares his expertise in tree care and the work they did on my trees was top-notch, they left the yard spotless, and I received a full report detailing their work. You can't do better than this company. read more

We found Ryan through the Nextdoor site. He came highly recommended. He's tough to pin down because he is so busy but he wants your business so keep trying. He spent at least an hour with us going through the yard, identifying plants and trees and explaining what needed to be done to make our sadly very sick trees healthy again. We have a bunch more work to do and he will be doing the work. My husband is self employed and provides excellent contracting work, so we always want to support a local business and glad we chose Ryan! read more

I discovered Ryan back in ~2006 and never have I been disappointed. It is great to rely on his knowledge and expertise, and the good job they do. A rare find! read more

Ryan and the Sanctuary Tree crew did a great job with a few of our tree trimming projects. Ryan was very knowledgeable and extremely responsive. Their pricing was competitive and clean-up was thorough. We'll definitely use Ryan and Company going forward. read more

Ryan and his crew are amazing. They trimmed three majorly overgrown trees with expertise, cleaned up their mess, and were wonderful to deal with. Ryan is truly passionate about his work, not only as an aborist, but also as an educator to new members of his team. His quotes were in line with the two other quotes I got. Highly recommended. read more

Hired Ryan and his crew to tackle a rather large elm in my backyard. They did a stellar job at a fraction of other bids. Keeping their number, will definitely use next time and recommend to others. read more

Ryan Bartlett with Sanctuary Tree is the best! Ryan is very knowledgable, reliable, helpful. Sanctuary is also reasonably priced. Couldn't have been happier with their service! read more

We have had Ryan and his crew perform several jobs for us throughout the years and we have ALWAYS been completely satisfied! They have trimmed bushes,our crabapple tree, gave us ideas of different types of trees to plant, then planted what we chose. We won't use any other tree company! read more

Ryan and his team did a great job trimming and fertilizing our old weeping willow and did such a nice job cleaning up afterward (which we are not used to from other companies). The tree looks amazing as it is leafing out now :) Ryan and his scheduler Ginny were very professional, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Ryan took quite a bit of time with us talking about our one tree, what trees to plant this Spring and how to best care for our tree. Highly recommend these guys. Price was competitive and well worth it! read more
