Golden Tree Removal - Getting Rid of Dead or Dangerous Trees

At some point property owners are faced with removing trees that have the potential to cause problems. Removing a tree is not a clear cut task of chopping it down and hauling it away. You must take extreme caution to avoid damage to surrounding property, dispose of a large volume of wood and foliage and the extent of the root network if you want to replant. There are generally two types of Golden tree removal services:

Emergency Tree Removal in Golden - Emergency service comes with a premium, but if you have a tree leaning against your house or blocking your driveway after a storm you need to get it removed right away. Service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but please note that unusually heavy winds can damage thousands of trees across Golden and tie up work crews for a few days in some cases.

Planned Golden Tree Removal - Property owners can plan to have trees removed if they begin to encroach on neighboring properties or if roots are growing too close to plumbing pipes. Dead or dying trees can also be removed if they begin to affect the look of your property or you think they will present a danger in the future.

Standard Golden Tree Care Services Offered

  • Golden Tree Trimming - Weekly, monthly or seasonal trimming to beautify landscapes and keep trees healthy.
  • Tree Removal in Golden
  • Tree and shrub growth regulation - Ensuring your trees grow vertically so they do not impede views or become obstacles in walkways or become dangerous near power lines.
  • Stump grinding and/or removal
  • Tree disease diagnosis, maintenance and prevention - Includes checking leaves and roots for early signs of damage.
  • Tree relocation
  • Soil analysis - Important for long term health of your trees and ensuring good growth rates.
  • Firewood, mulch and clippings
  • Tree branch cable bracing - Used to both protect from extreme weather and to shape trees aesthetically as they grow.
  • Emergency Tree Services in Golden - after storms or high winds, limbs or trunks blocking streets or driveways

Because of the inherent dangers working at heights of over 10 feet it is always recommended to leave it to a professional. Golden tree care companies have specialized ladders and tools to help them reach different tree heights and are trained in proper service around utility poles and power lines. Extra large trees require bucket trucks that can extend up to 50 feet to safely trim and remove tree limbs and branches.

Additional Tree Care Services

An arborist will decide if your tree needs to have the root zone fertilized, or if it needs crown reduction to reduce its height or general tree reshaping. A full service tree service company in Golden will go above and beyond simply trimming trees and will take care of the little things (tree stumps, any type of ivy, poison oak, identify diseased trees) and clean up to leave your yard looking better than ever. Additional extras include weed and insect control, branch and leaves cleanup and haul away, fire safety maintenance and preventative measures. Some companies even offer the ability to recycle the wood chippings that are removed from your property.

Tools of the Tree Trade

Depending on the size and number of trees, a wide array of tools and equipment are needed including bucket trucks (for tall trees), track loaders (clearing root systems), cables, chainsaws, chippers, stump grinders, aerial lifts (for access to trees overhanging buildings) and spikes used for climbing up trees. Even for general tree trimming it is important that the equipment (shears, clippers, etc.) is kept sharp and in good condition for clean cutting to maintain tree health.

Qualified Golden Arborists

Before selecting an arborist in Golden make sure that they posses a valid Colorado license as well as any necessary certifications, specifically for the type of tree care you need.

The International Society of Arboriculture provides multiple certifications, such as ISA Certified: Arborists or Board Certified Arborists as well as Utility, Municipal, Climber or Aerial Lift Specialist. Individuals who are trained and ISA Certified are required to be re-certified every 3 years.

The ASCA (American Society of Consulting Arborists) offers a 4 day training course that teaches everything necessary to become an expert arborist. After completion of this course and successfully passing its exam, the consulting arborist becomes a member of ASCA. Working with an ASCA certified arborist in Golden is especially important when looking to preserve a tree, provide an assessment on potential tree damage or even providing testimony in a trial where a tree is involved.

The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) offers education, training and certifications in a variety of tree service areas such as tree care safety and ANSI 300 standards, electrical hazards as well as aerial rescue. These certifications allow individuals to learn proper techniques to perform a tree service job safely, especially when working around utility poles and power lines.

Most importantly, when choosing a Golden tree service company, make sure that they posses liability insurance and/or workers compensation insurance. In the event that a tree service expert is injured, you will not be responsible for any damages or costs associated with the accident as long as the worker carries insurance. If they are not insured, you can be liable for costs associated with injuries, damages to equipment and surrounding structures.

Questions to Ask A Golden Tree Service Company

To gauge whether a company is the right fit you will need to ask the right questions. While most tree companies offer similar services, some will focus on large trees while others are pruning specialists for smaller trees.

  1. What insurance do you carry? Do you offer a warranty? Because tree care services can be dangerous, especially around power lines or on tall trees that require lifting equipment, liability insurance is a must. Often times larger (and reputable) companies offer their tree care employees with workers compensation insurance as well. Look for a warranty on services provided. The typical warranty ensures that they will come back out to provide service at no additional cost.
  2. How long have you been providing Golden tree service? Although a new company can offer lower prices, they typically do not have the industry knowledge and experience to do the job as efficiently as a company who has been in service for many years.
  3. What is your safety record? A clean safety record when it comes to scaling large trees and using cranes or aerial lifts around structures will give you additional peace of mind that your property will be safe.
  4. Do you have certified arborists? Most Golden tree service companies employ non-certified basic workers who are overseen by certified arborists who have extensive knowledge in tree health care and can provide additional information and suggestions based on your specific trees health needs. Without this professional oversight your flora is at greater risk of succumbing to disease, irregular growth patterns and more.
  5. What will you be using to service my tree(s)? If you want service on a tree that you want preserved and not damaged, be sure to inquire whether tree spikes are used as they can often harm a tree. Additional tools also include shears, pruners, chainsaws and chippers.
  6. Can you provide references for your work? A reputable tree company will be more than happy to provide references for their previous work. This can include images or better yet, contact information to past clients who can provide you with their experience, whether good or bad.
  7. How do you do estimates, consultations or pricing? Each tree service job is usually based on a visual consultation so when contacting potential companies via phone, you should always ask how they provide estimates. Does the price given over the phone change when they come out in person? Will the in-person consultations cost extra? And once a job is completed, how will the pricing look - will I be charged per hour or will there be a flat fee based on each type of service? Knowing this type of information prior to calling a tree service company will not only let you budget but it will help you understand what and how you are being charged before you are required to pay your bill.
  8. If necessary, how are permits handled? If the tree you want removed is anywhere near a utility line or lies partially on public property, you need to obtain a permit. A Golden tree care specialist will know that this is required and will that the steps needed to obtain a permit prior to work starting.
