Services
Tree trimming and pruning
Pruning is performed to ANSI A-300 Pruning Specifications, promoting healthy trees with good branch architecture on younger trees and focusing on safety, limb failure risk, and tree vigor on large and mature trees.
Tree removal
Dead trees are a hazard, and removal eliminates that hazard. Tall stumps and topped wildlife trees can still pose a threat to people and property.
Stump grinding
Grinding uses a machine that chips the stump to a few inches below ground level. Surface roots can also be ground down, and the grindings are backfilled into the hole.
Brush chipping
Brush piles from your own trimmings can be chipped into useful mulch for uses ranging from weed control to water saving flower bed mulch.
Spike-less tree climbing
Listed with limited availability. Spike-less climbing is provided on trees that are trimmed, and trees needing removal can also be climbed.

How do you prune trees?
Pruning is performed to ANSI A-300 Pruning Specifications. On younger trees the goal is healthy growth with good branch architecture. On large and mature trees the focus is human safety and passage, minimizing limb or whole tree failure near buildings and cars, and maintaining tree health and vigor.
Do you top trees?
No. High Country Tree Service describes topping, tipping, heading back, and dehorning as poor arboricultural practice. Topping destroys branch structure, opens multiple points of entry for wood decay organisms, can turn a tree into a hazard and a liability, and does not limit tree growth as advertised.
What happens to the stump after a tree is removed?
Stump grinding uses a machine that chips the stump to a few inches below ground level. Surface roots can also be ground down so they are no longer visible at the surface, and the grindings are then backfilled into the hole.
Do you work with commercial properties and municipalities?
Yes. High Country Tree Service serves commercial clients and rental properties in Grand Junction and can work with you on your billing needs, with all proper tax information ready. The company also handles municipal trimming and removal for small municipalities.
