Tree Service Company in Westminster, CO

Professional tree trimming and pruning are essential for maintaining healthy, beautiful trees while protecting your property. Our certified arborists understand tree biology and use proper techniques to promote strong growth patterns, improve structural integrity, and enhance aesthetic appeal.

Regular pruning removes dead, diseased, or damaged branches that pose safety risks. It also improves air circulation and sunlight penetration throughout the canopy, reducing disease susceptibility. Strategic trimming can redirect growth away from structures, power lines, and high-traffic areas. Whether you need crown thinning, crown raising, or corrective pruning, our team delivers precise, careful work that respects the natural form of your trees while meeting your property needs. Our comprehensive tree and shrub services integrate seamlessly with your overall landscaping vision to create a cohesive, beautiful outdoor space.

Timing your tree pruning correctly maximizes tree health and minimizes stress. In Westminster's climate, late winter through early spring (February through April) is ideal for most deciduous trees. During dormancy, trees have lower sap flow, wounds heal faster, and disease transmission risk is minimal. You can also see the tree structure clearly without leaves.

However, timing varies by species. Oak trees should be pruned in winter to avoid oak wilt disease. Fruit trees benefit from late winter pruning to encourage productive growth. Evergreens can be pruned year-round but respond best in late winter. Spring-flowering trees should be pruned immediately after blooming. Dead, damaged, or hazardous branches should always be removed immediately regardless of season. Our arborists assess each tree individually to recommend optimal pruning timing for your specific situation, and we work closely with your landscaper to coordinate seasonal maintenance schedules.

Westminster has specific tree removal regulations designed to protect the urban forest canopy. Generally, you need a permit to remove any tree with a trunk diameter of 6 inches or greater measured 4.5 feet above ground. This applies to trees on private property. All trees on public property, parkways, or right-of-ways require city permits regardless of size.

Certain situations may qualify for permit exemptions, including dead or hazardous trees posing immediate safety risks, trees interfering with approved construction projects, or trees causing documented property damage. However, even exempt removals often require notification or documentation. Removing protected trees without proper permits can result in significant fines. Our team is thoroughly familiar with Westminster tree ordinances and can guide you through the permit application process, handle required documentation, and ensure full compliance with local regulations.
