Tree Services & Arborist Companies
The benefits of having trees on your property is something that we can all appreciate, including the welcome shade that helps cool our homes during the summer and after leaf drop, the solar gain during the winter. Trees also provide beauty and a sense of nature within our urban environment; we all can relate to a tree lined street and the calming effect it provides any neighborhood.
Like any other living thing, trees do require periodic maintenance and general care. Many of these requirements like consistent watering, light pruning, fertilization and leaf removal we can often manage ourselves, but where do you turn for the items, we cannot do on our own?
If your tree is growing in the City right-of-way, the Grand Junction Urban Forestry Department has many services you can request by going to our tree work request form: https://gjcity.seamlessdocs.com/f/treework.
If your trees are located on your private property, and you need to hire a professional to conduct any work, you are required to hire a licensed arborist. These professionals can provide assistance starting with a consultation and evaluation to customize your insect and disease control, trimming and pruning, cabling and bracing, along with any other of your tree maintenance needs.
If your trees are in need of this type of service, you can safeguard yourself by hiring a licensed certified arborist, this ensures that the work will be done in a professional manner by a company that is insured and bonded to protect you the homeowner. This certification is recognized and required by the City of Grand Junction, our Forestry Department supports these crews by sharing information and keeping arboriculture practices up to date.
