The difference
What we do
From defensible space to the technical removals most crews avoid — done with rope, rigging, and skill.
What homeowners call us for most — many every season. We walk your property with you, then thin and clear fuels to firewise standards with minimal impact to the trees you keep.
Dead, leaning, beetle-killed, or tight against the house. Rope, rigging, and climbing skill instead of cranes — precision, minimal impact, no added damage.
A tree on your home or driveway? We answer and show up — often the same day — and get you back up and running quickly.
Prune for safety, structure, and views; treat high-altitude pests; ISA risk assessments so you know what to watch, treat, or remove.
Also: firewood delivery & on-site splitting · commercial & ski-resort · lot clearing

Watch
Ninety seconds in the canopy — ropes, rigging, and a chainsaw eighty feet up. This is what “no heavy machinery” actually looks like on your property.

Wildfire preparedness
Defensible space is the managed area around your home that slows a wildfire down — and gives firefighters somewhere safe to work. It matters here: lodgepole pine makes up most of Summit County’s forest, and it burns readily.
Closest to the house. Keep it non-combustible: clear needles and debris from the roof and gutters, screen vents, and move anything flammable away from walls, decks, and porches.
Break up the fuel. Prune branches roughly 6–10 ft off the ground, leave space between tree crowns, keep the canopy back from the house, and use drives and patios as natural fuel breaks.
Slow the fire before it arrives. Clear heavy ground litter and dead material, thin the small conifers coming up between mature trees, and widen the spacing between canopies as you move out.
Under Colorado’s HB25-1182, the mitigation work you do can also factor into your wildfire risk score and your homeowner’s coverage. Your fire district offers a free assessment — and we’ll walk the property with you before anything gets cut.
