Pruning is top on the list annually to maintain the loveliness of these estate homes. From mid-February to early March, attendant homeowners call on Donovan Arborists to professionally prune the beloved shade to perfection. With the foliage absent, it's easier in early winter to assess the pruning required to remove dead, dying and diseased branches, so that the tree continues to grow in a healthy way.
The city does not own the trees within the right-of-way. Instead, they are the responsibility of the homeowner. If you receive a notice from Code Enforcement, it is your responsibility to have the trees on your property and within the right-of-way trimmed. Low-impact tree removal is the goal when removing mature trees like those cultivated in Cherry Hills Village for more than a century.

We've had Donovan care for a large cottonwood several times in the past few years. The first experience was a long overdue pruning to improve the overall tree health and protect a few outbuildings. The crew was professional, explained the work they'd need to do and left the tree looking great. The second experience was to remove several large broken branches after a windstorm. Despite some miscommunication that resulted in a one day delay, the crew was very friendly and worked quick. We'll definitely hire Donovan again.

I had three trees in need of care (a couple desperately) and a shrub/bush that needed removed. A friends neighbor referred Donovan arborists to me and I couldn’t be more pleased. They came to look at what I needed quickly, all the work done soon after and everything looked happy and healthy again. I would highly recommend them, my neighbor used a different company, they were more expensive and my trees look better (shape, how they are growing) and that other Co. kind of left a mess in their yard... my guys cleaned up! (I’m at work writing this, will post pics soon). Both the owner Paul and

Donovan Arborists has taken care of all of our tree services for the past three years, and they are hands down THE BEST! They are excellent and I'd recommend them to anyone. Paul and his amazing crews have pruned my trees, they come and fertilize in the spring as necessary and have installed two absolutely beautiful trees in my back yard, one being a memorial tree which was extra special to me. The quality of their work and employees is off the charts - they're always timely and courteous. They are wonderful with the three dogs running around my yard and are kind and caring to them

Paul Donovan has done work for me over the years, and I continue to hire him for my primary residence as well as a rental. Donovan Arborists did some complex work for me when they took down a 60ft Willow tree adjacent to my garage. All the work was completed safely, and I was very appreciative of the professionalism and hard work. This is a great company.

These guys are fantastic! We have been working with Donovan Arborists for a few years now to help us maintain and prune our existing trees, they are helping us manage our beautiful apple tree's bacterial disease and are assisting us with continually developing our privacy from neighbors with installing new trees each year.
Donovan Arborists has been super easy to work with - from calling to schedule maintenance or treatments to providing timely quotes for larger scale jobs and finally installing all agreed upon aspects of the contract on time. They have the friendliest employees - they always

Legal action was threatened after you said that no one was coming back to finish the job. You unfortunately seem to have a problem keeping your facts straight.
Then again your idea of customer service is blaming my kids and my dog for not seeing a utility box less than a foot away, and then calling me an a..hole.

We used Donovan Arborists to remove a very large cotton wood and a smaller silver maple. I had several companies provide quotes, but Donovan was the best price. They're also licensed, certified, and insured.
Paul and his crew were courteous, professional, and extremely good at what they do. They were conscientious of the surrounding structures, and did a very thorough job of cleaning up.
I highly recommend Donovan Arborists. I've recommended them to friends and family, and will continue to use their services in the future.

Yay! We can see our house again!
These guys did a fantastic job of pruning a large maple (40') directly in front of our house. It was planted 30 years ago when the home was built but never had any maintenance, says our new neighbors. They also removed a dead apple tree that was in front of the garage and cut the stump really low so that the stump grinder could do his job quickly = less $$.
I was not home when the service was done but my wife was and said they were very friendly and respectful. A crew of 3-4 guys spent 3-4 hours at the house and when I cam home, the yard was absolutely clean

Donovan Arborist was professional and gave excellent service. We got 3 other estimates for a tree removal, and theirs was the lowest. I had a coupon for another tree service that would have put it lower, but went with Donovan because of their professional courtesy. They came quickly for an estimate, left a paper copy and emailed it, and removed the tree on schedule with only sawdust. They even cut it to length for firewood for me! Payment was online and was very simple.
