Why We’re Here
Colorado Springs is home for us, and normally, that's where you'll find our crews. But when we saw what the Aspen Acres Fire did to this community, we couldn't just watch from up the road.
Trees take years, sometimes decades, to grow. We know how much they mean to the people and places they surround, and we know how difficult it can be to see that landscape changed overnight. We have the people, equipment, and experience to help make the recovery a little easier.
So, as the community begins the recovery process, we're extending our services to Pueblo, Custer, Huerfano, and Fremont Counties, including Beulah, Rye, Colorado City, San Isabel, and Wetmore.
Not because it's convenient, but because it's the right thing to do for our neighbors to the south.
If you're in one of these communities and dealing with fire-damaged trees, we're here to help. No pressure, no assumptions about what needs to come down—just experienced arborists ready to help you understand what comes next.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
It depends on the species, the severity and location of the damage, root damage, and the tree's overall condition before the fire. Some trees recover from fire damage, while others do not. Our ISA Certified Arborists evaluate each tree individually rather than assuming every burned tree needs to come down.
-
Our ISA Certified Arborists evaluate each tree individually based on visible damage, structural stability, and species-specific fire response. Every property and every tree is different, so recommendations are made after an on-site assessment.
-
Yes. Our crews handle debris cleanup and lot clearing as part of the removal process, not just the tree removal itself.
-
Not every fire-damaged tree needs immediate removal. Trees that pose an immediate hazard to homes, roads, driveways, or occupied areas should be addressed promptly. Trees without an immediate hazard can often be evaluated on a longer timeline.
-
Yes. We provide a written scope of work and estimate before any tree removal or debris clearing begins.
-
We're currently offering fire recovery services in Pueblo, Custer, Huerfano, and Fremont Counties, including Beulah, Rye, Colorado City, San Isabel, and Wetmore, in addition to our standard Front Range service area.
-
Before any tree or debris is removed, we recommend photographing and video recording the affected trees and property from multiple angles. Keep a written log of what was there and its condition. Your insurance company can advise you on their specific documentation requirements.
-
Permitting requirements vary by county and may have been temporarily adjusted for fire recovery. Contact your county's building or permitting department directly to confirm what's required for your property before work begins.
