A tree is likely dead if it shows no leaves in spring, has bark peeling away from the trunk, or has branches dying from the top down. Fungal growth at the base of the trunk is another clear sign the tree is no longer structurally sound.

Yes, we serve Parker, Highlands Ranch, and all of Douglas County for dead tree removal. We also cover surrounding areas including Franktown, Lone Tree, and Castle Pines.

Dead trees lack the moisture that helps living trees resist ignition, making them more readily combustible. In Franktown and other areas within the Douglas County wildland-urban interface, removing dead trees reduces the fuel available to a spreading fire.

We haul away the material and leave your site clear after the job is done. If you have specific disposal preferences, let us know when you request your free estimate.

Yes, the current mountain pine beetle outbreak is actively affecting ponderosa pine forests along the Front Range, including areas within Douglas County. Beetle-killed trees dry out quickly and can become a hazard on your property, so removal is worth considering.
