Splintered Forest Tree Services is a full service tree company with a Denver Metro office at 59 W Floyd Avenue, Suite 208 in Englewood, CO. The company was founded in 2004 by Brad Huddleston, a longtime Conifer resident who learned the importance of fire mitigation firsthand after losing his family home in the 2000 Hi Meadow Forest Fire. What started with one guy and a chainsaw has grown into a locally owned and operated company running an array of in-house, specialized equipment, including knuckle boom cranes and a masticator, alongside expert tree climbers. Services cover tree removal, tree trimming and pruning, stump grinding, storm damage cleanup, fire mitigation, defensible space inspections, plant health care, tree clearing planned around solar panel installations, and treatment programs for the Emerald Ash Borer and the Mountain Pine Beetle. Splintered Forest is licensed, insured, and an accredited company with the Tree Care Industry Association, an accreditation it has held since 2018 and which covers formal employee training, standards compliance, safety and quality, and workers compensation coverage. The company has ISA Certified Arborists on staff plus a Jefferson County approved forester, a Certified Tree Care Safety Professional, NCCCO certified crane operators, and crew members carrying OSHA 30-hour hazard recognition training, aerial rescue certification, commercial driver's licenses, and Heartsaver first aid CPR AED certification. Estimates are free and written, an estimator can assess a property without the homeowner present, and the company accepts cash, check, and all major credit and debit cards with no processing fees.

Services

Tree removal

Tree removal

Removal of trees that are dead or dying, storm damaged, threatening a structure, or simply no longer fitting the landscape. In-house knuckle boom cranes and experienced tree climbers allow the crew to take on hazardous removals, including trees right next to a house or garage or growing through a deck.

Tree trimming

Tree trimming

Pruning and dead wooding carried out by trained professionals to protect the growth and appearance of the tree. The company notes that a do-it-yourself approach often leads to incorrect cuts and severe, sometimes irreparable, damage.

Fire mitigation

Fire mitigation

Fire mitigation work for insurance purposes, to satisfy Jefferson County requirements, or to prepare a property ahead of a wildfire. ISA Certified Arborists and an on-staff Jefferson County approved forester guide clients through the process, which uses selective thinning rather than clear cutting.

Defensible space inspections

Defensible space inspections

Defensible space inspections completed by the county approved forester at Splintered Forest for homeowners building a new home or an addition in Jefferson County, Colorado.

Stump grinding

Stump grinding

Grinding down stumps left behind after a removal so they no longer sit in the yard as a tripping hazard. Grinding is more cost effective than other stump removal methods and has less impact on the surrounding landscaping, and leftover mulch can be reused on the property or hauled away.

Why choose us?

ISA Certified Arborists on staff

Splintered Forest has ISA Certified Arborists on staff, a credential that requires a minimum of three years of practical tree care experience and an extensive exam covering ten knowledge areas including tree biology, pruning, diagnosis and treatment, and tree risk management.

TCIA accredited company

Accredited with the Tree Care Industry Association since 2018, a voluntary business practices and compliance audit covering formal employee training and certification, industry and federal standards compliance, safety and quality adherence, and insurance and workers compensation coverage.

Free written estimates

An estimator walks the property and emails a written estimate detailing all proposed work. If meeting in person is not feasible, the estimator can assess the property with permission and send the estimate, and a virtual estimate tool is also available.

In-house cranes and expert climbers

In-house knuckle boom cranes and expert tree climbers let the crew complete even the most hazardous removals, including trees right beside a house or garage or growing through a deck.

Fire mitigation and insurance compliance

The team works closely with insurance companies and can guide homeowners who receive a non-renewal letter through the process, starting with a consultation where the on-staff forester reviews the insurance report and walks the property.

Locally owned and operated since 2004

Splintered Forest is a locally owned and operated Colorado tree company founded in 2004, grown from a single chainsaw into a full service operation serving the Denver Metro Area and the Foothills.

Can I get an estimate if I cannot meet the estimator in person?
