Arbol De Fuego Services is a locally owned tree service and landscaping company based at 11402 Cherokee St in Northglenn, Colorado. We serve homeowners, property managers, and businesses across Adams County and the north Denver metro: Northglenn, Thornton, Westminster, Federal Heights, Broomfield, and Commerce City.
The name means Tree of Fire. It is on the truck, on the logo, and on every review that mentions the crew by name.
Ricardo Velasquez Jr. runs the company. He came up in landscaping and tree work in the north Denver metro, more than a decade of it, before putting his own name on a crew. He still walks every estimate, still quotes every job, and still works most of them. That is why customers call him by name in their reviews, and why the quote you get is the price you pay.
It is a family business in the plain sense: the crew that shows up is family and long time crew, not a subcontractor you have never met. Customers notice. “This is a family owned business, and it shows in their service” is a direct quote from a Northglenn review, and it comes up over and over.
The company started as a landscaping and tree care crew working for Northglenn families, and it grew the way a good local crew grows: one referral at a time. Tree work, removals, trimming, and stump grinding, became the bulk of the business as word got around that the crew showed up when it said it would, charged what it quoted, and left yards clean.
In April 2026 the Better Business Bureau’s Restoring Trust program asked Ricardo to help a Northglenn family who had paid a contractor for an irrigation system and never got it. The crew rebuilt the system at no charge. CBS Colorado covered the story. Ricardo’s line to the reporter says most of what you need to know about how the company works: “At the end of the day, whatever you plant or seed, it’s what you sow.”
Work near energized power lines is left to Xcel Energy. Pesticide treatments that require a Colorado commercial applicator license are coordinated through a licensed partner rather than done under the table. If we cannot do something the right way, we will tell you who can.

Northglenn and the surrounding north Denver metro has a particular mix of trees, weather patterns, and yard conditions that we know well. The older neighborhoods in Northglenn and Federal Heights tend to have large, mature cottonwoods and elms that were planted decades ago and now need real attention. Thornton has a wide range, from those same older tree types in its southern sections to younger subdivisions where trees planted at build time are reaching the age where trimming and shaping matter. Westminster and Broomfield bring their own mix of ornamentals, spruce, and fast growing shade trees.
Colorado’s spring weather creates its own set of issues. Wet, heavy snow in April or May can split limbs or topple a tree that was already showing signs of weakness. Emerald ash borer has been moving through Adams County, and a lot of homeowners are dealing with declining ash trees that need to come down before they become brittle and unpredictable. We have handled all of these situations across our service area and know what to expect.
We are based in Northglenn and most of our work stays within about a 20 minute drive, which covers Northglenn, Thornton, Westminster, Federal Heights, Broomfield, Commerce City, and the rest of Adams County’s residential areas. If you are on the edge of that range, call and ask. See all service areas.
