What Tree Removal Actually Involves

Tree removal is not just cutting something down. A proper removal accounts for where the tree is, what is around it, how the crew will bring it down safely, and what happens to the wood and debris afterward.

On a typical Northglenn residential job, here is what we do:

• Walk the property with you before we start and confirm the plan
• Set up a drop zone and protect nearby structures, fences, and landscaping
• Remove limbs from the top down before cutting the main trunk, when the site allows
• Cut and lower sections in a controlled sequence
• Chip the branches on site or load them for haul away
• Cut the trunk into sections and remove
• Rake and blow the area clean
• Leave the site ready for you to use

If you want the stump removed as well, we can grind it during the same visit or schedule it separately. Stump grinding details here.

Common Reasons Northglenn Homeowners Call Us

• A tree has died and needs to come down before it becomes a hazard
• A tree is too close to the house, fence, or utility lines
• Storm damage has made a tree structurally unsafe
• A tree is crowding out other plants or blocking light
• A tree is growing into a foundation or lifting a driveway
• A renovation or addition requires clearing the space

Many of the calls we get from Northglenn come from neighborhoods along Huron Street, around 104th Avenue, and from properties near the older blocks close to Malley Drive. These yards often have large, mature cottonwoods and elms that were planted decades ago and have outgrown their space or started showing signs of decline. We also get regular calls from homeowners in the newer sections of Thornton and Westminster when storm damage brings down a big limb or destabilizes a tree near the house.

Warning Signs You Should Not Ignore

Some trees need to come down soon. If you see any of these, call us:

• Large dead branches in the upper canopy
• A trunk that has cracked or split
• Soft, crumbling, or hollow wood at the base
• Mushrooms growing at the base or on the trunk
• The tree has leaned noticeably more in the past year
• Roots on one side are pulling up from the ground

A tree showing two or more of these signs is a fall risk, especially during Northglenn’s wet spring snowstorms when a heavy, wet load lands on already weakened wood. Adams County gets its share of late season snow events that add significant weight to trees that are already stressed. If a limb comes down on a fence or roof, the cost of cleanup and repair is almost always higher than the cost of taking the tree down before it falls.

Trees We Remove Most Often in the North Metro

The north Denver metro has a recognizable mix of tree species, and we work with all of them regularly.

• Cottonwood: very common in Northglenn and along drainage corridors. Fast growing, can get extremely large, and can develop structural problems or die in sections.
• Siberian and American elm: mature elms are a fixture in older Northglenn and Federal Heights neighborhoods. When they decline or die, removal takes planning because of their size.
• Ash: emerald ash borer has been moving through the north metro for several years. Dead and dying ash trees need to come down before they become brittle and unpredictable.
• Blue spruce and pine: common in Westminster and Broomfield subdivisions. Spruces with Cytospora canker or pine borers often need removal once decline reaches a certain point.
• Honeylocust, ornamentals, and smaller trees: locusts, fruit trees, crab apples, and ornamentals in residential yards throughout the area. A recent Northglenn job was a 30 foot dying locust taken down in two hours with no damage to the roof or deck.

What It Costs

Tree removal pricing depends on four main factors: the height and diameter of the tree, its location relative to structures and utilities, the ease of equipment access, and what you want done with the debris. A small ornamental tree in an open backyard costs significantly less than a 60 foot cottonwood leaning over a roofline with a fence blocking equipment access on three sides. We do not publish flat rates online because quoting without seeing the tree leads to surprises no one wants. What we can tell you: most single tree residential jobs in the Northglenn area are completed in one day, and you get a written estimate before work begins, so you always know the number before we touch the tree.

About Our Crew

Arbol De Fuego Services is run by Ricardo Velasquez Jr., who has worked in tree care and landscaping in the north Denver metro for more than a decade. It is a family owned and operated crew, and customers regularly mention that in their reviews, along with the cleanup and the price. If you want to see the plan before we cut, walk the yard with us. We are happy to explain every step.

Service Area for Tree Removal

We serve Northglenn, Westminster, Federal Heights, Thornton, Broomfield, Commerce City, and the surrounding north Denver metro. If you are unsure whether we cover your address, call or fill out the form.

Do you give free estimates?

Yes. We come to your property, look at the tree, and give you a written quote at no charge.

How long will the job take?

Most residential tree removals take two to four hours. Very large trees or tight access situations take longer. We will give you a realistic estimate when we see the tree.

What do you do with the wood?

We chip the branches and haul everything away. If you want wood chips left for garden use, or firewood rounds, let us know when you book.

Is stump grinding included with tree removal?

No, they are separate services. Ask us to quote both together and we can usually do them on the same visit.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Northglenn?

Permit requirements vary depending on the tree and its location on your property. Some municipalities in Adams County have rules about removing street trees or trees in certain setback areas. We can talk through the specifics when we come to give you an estimate, but it is worth checking with the City of Northglenn directly if you are uncertain.
