Tree care in Highlands Ranch.

Highlands Ranch neighborhoods were planted in waves from the 1980s on, and a lot of those yard trees are now 30 to 40 feet tall. Green ash, honeylocust, maples, blue spruce, and Austrian pine that once looked like landscaping now hang over roofs, fences, and driveways, and many were planted closer to the house than anyone would plant today.

Our clay soil, dry winters, hail, and heavy spring snow are hard on trees. Wet April and May storms load leafed-out canopies and snap limbs, and trees along the open space edges take the full force of the wind coming off the foothills.

Saw and Order Tree Care is based in Highlands Ranch, so estimates are quick and job days are close to home. Connor looks at every tree in person, writes a fixed price, and climbs the job himself. The same person you meet at the estimate is the one tied in on the day of the work.

Tree removal in Highlands Ranch, CO: large tree beside a house before removal
Count I

Tree removal in Highlands Ranch

Most removals in Highlands Ranch are backyard trees with a house on one side and a fence on the other, and no way to get a truck close. Connor climbs and rigs those trees down in pieces, lowering each section on a rope so nothing lands on the roof, the fence, or the neighbor's yard. Wood is cut, chipped, and hauled off the same day, and the stump can be ground while we're there.

  • Rigged down in sections around roofs, fences, and landscaping
  • Written, fixed price before any work starts
  • Cleanup and haul-away included; stump grinding available

Storm damage and 24/7 emergency tree service in Highlands Ranch

When a spring storm drops heavy snow on trees that have already leafed out, Highlands Ranch loses a lot of limbs in one night. If a limb is on your roof, hanging over your driveway, or split and ready to fall, call 720-903-1285 any time, day or night. We make the hazard safe first, then clean up properly and prune the tree so it can recover.

  • 24/7 emergency service ($250 minimum for after-hours visits)
  • Hanging and broken limbs made safe first
  • Fallen trees cut up and hauled off
  • Damaged trees pruned to recover when they can be saved

Tree trimming and pruning in Highlands Ranch

A lot of Highlands Ranch trees have never been pruned properly, and it shows in crowded crowns, crossing limbs, and branches resting on roofs. Connor holds the ISA Prescription Pruning Qualification, so each tree gets a plan: thinning for wind and snow, raising limbs off the house and sidewalk, and removing deadwood. We never top trees.

  • Pruned to ISA standards by a Prescription Pruning Qualified arborist
  • Crown thinning, raising, reduction, and deadwood removal
  • No topping, ever

Stump grinding in Highlands Ranch

Old stumps show up in every Highlands Ranch backyard, usually right where you want a new patio or garden bed. We grind stumps below grade, chase out the surface roots, and clean up the chips, or leave them as mulch if you'd like. Grinding pairs well with a removal, since the equipment is already on site.

  • Ground below grade, surface roots chased out
  • Chips cleaned up or left as mulch, your choice
  • Ready for sod, rock, or replanting

Wildfire mitigation and defensible space in Highlands Ranch

Homes on the edges of Highlands Ranch that back onto open space and the Backcountry face grass and brush fire risk. Defensible space here usually means removing dead trees and ladder fuels near the house, limbing up evergreens, and opening up gaps between shrubs and structures, following Colorado State Forest Service home ignition zone guidance.

  • Dead trees, low limbs, and flammable shrubs cleared near the house
  • Thinning planned around the home ignition zone

Local Trees Trees on trial in Highlands Ranch.

The trees we see most in Highlands Ranch yards, and the problems worth watching for.

Common trees

  • Green ash
  • Honeylocust
  • Silver and Norway maple
  • Colorado blue spruce
  • Austrian and ponderosa pine
  • Crabapple
  • Aspen
  • Cottonwood along the drainages

Watch list

  • Emerald ash borer

    EAB has been spreading along the Front Range since it was found in Boulder in 2013. Highlands Ranch has a lot of green ash, so it pays to decide now which ash trees to treat and which to replace.

  • Stressed spruce

    Blue spruce on dry, windy lots get needle cast, spider mites, and Ips beetles. Thinning interior deadwood and watering through winter keeps them going longer.

  • Snow breakage

    Leafed-out trees catch wet spring snow. Structural pruning that removes weak, crowded limbs is the best protection before storm season.

Questions & Answers Cross-examination: Highlands Ranch.

Do I need HOA approval to remove a tree in Highlands Ranch?

It depends on your neighborhood's covenants and where the tree is. Front-yard trees are the ones most often covered. If your HOA asks for a reason, we can give you a written assessment from an ISA Certified Arborist to send with your request.

How soon can you come out for an estimate in Highlands Ranch?

We're based in Highlands Ranch, so estimates are usually quick to schedule. Text a few photos and your address to 720-903-1285 and we'll set a time.

Should I remove my ash tree before emerald ash borer shows up?

Not automatically. Healthy, well-placed ash trees can be protected with treatments, while ash that is already declining or badly placed is often better replaced. Connor can look at yours and give you the honest math on both options.

Can you remove a big tree from a backyard with no access?

Yes. That's most of what we do. We climb the tree and lower it down in sections on ropes, then carry the wood out, so no machine needs to reach the backyard.
