Johnstown, CO Tree Care
Johnstown blends small-town comfort with growing, family-friendly neighborhoods — from established communities around Parish Avenue and Letford Elementary to newer developments like Thompson River Ranch, Pioneer Ridge, and Carlson Farms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of trees are most common in Johnstown, and do you work on all of them?
Johnstown properties often feature ash, maple, cottonwood, spruce, and new ornamental species. Yes — we care for all of them, including large cottonwoods common on older lots.
My neighborhood is fairly new. When should young trees be pruned for the first time?
Most young trees benefit from structural pruning within the first 2–3 years after planting. Early shaping prevents long-term problems and reduces future storm damage.
Wind is a big issue where I live. Can pruning help reduce breakage?
Absolutely. Thoughtful thinning and structural pruning can reduce wind resistance and help prevent limb failure during strong gusts.
Can you handle large tree removals?
Absolutely — including trees near homes, fences, roofs, and power lines. We specialize in large and technical tree removals.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes — we provide free, no-obligation estimates. During the visit we’ll assess the trees, explain our recommendations, and give a clear written quote.
