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.
What Our Fort Collins Clients Say
ASH
"We have several mature trees that had not been trimmed for a long time before purchasing our house. These guys spent the entire day at our house pruning trees and removing a dead tree. They did an amazing job!! They were very professional and everything was so clean and nice looking when i got home! I highly recommend and we will definitely be using them again for our trees.
