Tree service in Douglas County, CO

Ponderosa pine is the most common tree species in Douglas County, and Gambel oak is the most common brush species.

Douglas County ranges from foothills terrain near Sedalia and Larkspur to flatter grassland parcels east of Castle Rock. Rocky, sloped ground near the foothills requires different equipment and access planning than open parcels in the eastern part of the county. We assess each site before work begins to match equipment and approach to the actual terrain.
