Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. The website states that Fine Tree Service offers free estimates. You can fill out the estimate request form on the site with as many details as possible, or call the office at (970) 377-2851, and the team will be in touch.
Are your arborists certified?
Yes. Fine Tree Service lists ISA Certified Arborists among its qualifications, and its team members hold degrees in Arboriculture, Horticulture, and Forestry. The company is also a Tree Care Industry Association member, has been a BBB member since 2003, and lists Licensed Applicators on staff.
Can you handle very large or hazardous trees?
Yes. The company lists specializing in large and hazardous tree removals among its qualifications. It owns its cranes and runs bucket trucks and communication technology so arborists can remove even the largest trees safely, and it says it has taken down trees resting on homes as well as the State Champion Cottonwood.
What should I do if a tree comes down during a storm?
Call the office. The emergency response page invites customers to call day or night at (970) 377-2851 when the need arises. In-house crane operators, communication systems, and arborists are used to make these situations more manageable. The team can also assess a tree's condition and its chances of failure before something falls.
Do you treat trees for Emerald Ash Borer?
Yes. Emerald Ash Borer prevention and treatment is a focus of the plant health care program. The company says EAB is one of the biggest threats to the community's trees, that it has not lost a single ash tree treated before infestation, and that even infected trees have shown encouraging results.
What happens during a plant health care visit?
Specialists inspect all trees and shrubs on the property, identify potential issues, and tailor treatments based on what they find. You receive detailed notes and recommendations. Specialty sprays or treatments may be recommended for specific insect infestations or diseases, and early, mid, and late-season visits are offered to target multiple pest generations.
What happens to the stump after a tree is removed?
Stump grinding is offered as a separate service. The stump and root portions are ground into a removable mulch and soil mixture, deep enough that the spot can be replanted. You can have the mulch left behind for garden material, or have the debris removed and topsoil replaced so the site is ready for landscaping.
Why does pruning matter in Colorado?
The company points to high winds, heavy snow loads when trees are in leaf or bloom, and extreme temperature swings as stresses that can lead to structural failure. Pruning services include structural assessment and correction, deadwood removal, thinning conflicting branches to improve airflow and sunlight, and reducing branch tip weight to lower the risk of failure.
