“Had one of their arborists come out to check on a big oak tree in our backyard that wasn't looking great. He spent a good 45 minutes really examining it, asked us about our goals, and gave us a detailed report about what we could do to help it recover. Super knowledgeable and didn't try to oversell us on unnecessary work.”
Arborist Consultation
“The crew trimmed back our overgrown hedges along the front of the house and they look fantastic now. They shaped everything evenly, hauled away all the clippings same day, and even swept up the driveway. Made our whole place look more polished.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“We needed some brush and small trees cleared from our rural property to open up the land a bit. They came out with their equipment and got it done in about a day and a half, which was faster than I expected. The site was left clean and ready for what we want to do next.”
Land Clearing
“Had a dead pine tree that was too close to the house removed last week. The two-man crew was careful, professional, and they chipped the whole thing on-site so there was barely anything left to haul away. Really impressed with how they managed the space.”
Tree Removal
“We had to take down two large trees in our backyard that were getting too close to our deck. The crew showed up on time, worked safely around our property, and the whole job was done cleaner than I thought possible. No regrets whatsoever.”
Tree Removal
“Called them out to prune a massive maple tree that was blocking light from our kitchen window. They brought a bucket truck and really knew what they were doing, the tree looks healthier and our kitchen is bright again. Worth every penny.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Got them to trim up a young tree we planted a couple years ago to help it grow in the right shape. They gave us some care tips too, which was helpful. Only thing is they were running about 30 minutes behind schedule, but they made up for it with great work.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“After we had a tree removed, we called them back to grind out the stump. They showed up with their grinder and had that thing completely gone in less than an hour, mulch spread around, and the whole area leveled out. Now we can actually use that part of the yard again.”

Fort Collins Tree Service is your trusted local arborist and tree care partner for homeowners across Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, and the surrounding Larimer County region. Whether you're managing the mature ash and maple trees shading the historic brick foursquares and Craftsman bungalows of Old Town and the Eastside, caring for the Colorado blue spruce and pines dotting Midtown ranches, or maintaining the newer subdivision homes spreading toward Harmony Road and Rigden Farm, our team knows the unique challenges Fort Collins trees face.
Homeowners searching for tree service near me in Fort Collins choose us because we combine deep local knowledge with professional expertise. From the heavy alkaline clay soil that stresses our silver maples and lindens, to the emerald ash borer crisis that has gripped the city's ash trees since 2020, to the spring snow and Chinook wind damage that threatens roofs and power lines, we understand what your trees are up against. Call (970) 666-6628 or request a free estimate today.
When a storm hits Fort Collins, trees don't wait for business hours. Heavy wet spring snow, hail, and downslope Chinook winds regularly bring large branches crashing onto roofs, fences, vehicles, and power lines across the city. If you're facing a fallen tree, a hazardous hanging limb, or a storm-damaged top threatening your home or a neighbor's property, Emergency Tree Service from Fort Collins Tree Service is available 24/7. We respond quickly to stabilize the danger, remove debris safely, and restore your property to normal.
Tree Removal is our highest-value service, and we handle jobs of all sizes and complexity. We use modern rigging and crane work when needed to remove large trees safely from tight spaces on Old Town's narrow lots or the dense subdivision blocks near Colorado State University.
Don't wait for a branch to fall on your roof or a dead tree to become a liability. If you suspect a tree is hazardous, diseased, or in decline, call (970) 666-6628 for an immediate evaluation. Our arborists can advise whether removal is necessary or whether pruning and care might save the tree. For emergency situations, we're standing by.
Tree removal and emergency service costs in Fort Collins vary based on several factors: the size and species of the tree, how close it stands to your home or structures, whether it's diseased or storm-damaged, access for equipment, and the complexity of the removal work itself. A large ash tree in a tight Old Town yard costs more to remove safely than a smaller pine on an open Midtown lot. For a detailed breakdown of pricing and to understand what your specific job will cost, visit our pricing page or contact us for a free estimate.
Beyond emergency removal, Fort Collins Tree Service offers a full range of tree care services. Stump Grinding eliminates the eyesore and tripping hazard left behind after removal, restoring your yard to usable space. Tree Trimming and Pruning keeps your maples, lindens, and elms healthy, improves air circulation to reduce disease, and removes crossing or rubbing limbs before they fail. We also provide Hedge Trimming and Shrub Care, Land Clearing for new construction or defensible space work near the foothills, and Arborist Consultation to diagnose disease, pest damage, or soil stress affecting your landscape.
Many cities in Colorado, including Fort Collins, require a tree removal permit for trees above a certain diameter or for trees designated as heritage or protected species under local ordinance. Protected trees may include oaks, specific urban shade trees, and other species important to the community canopy. Additionally, if you live in an HOA community, approval may be needed before removing a visible tree. Property line rules also apply if a neighbor's limbs overhang your property. Because permit requirements and procedures vary by location, we recommend checking with your local building department or city arborist office before starting work. Fort Collins Tree Service can advise you on the permit process and help coordinate applications as needed. Contact us for guidance on your specific situation.
