Mountain Tree Care
Our outdoor areas are the extensions of our homes. Trees provide the backdrops, centerpieces and perfect accents to our landscapes. With proper care and nourishment our trees will continue to make our living spaces, both indoors and out, unique and beautiful for years to come. Our goal is to provide Boulder and the surrounding areas with outstanding personalized service and quality workmanship.

As a small business we are more responsive you your needs and preferences than most larger operations. If there is ever a problem or a question, you will have our full attention. Because tree services are a craft, the quality of the work from company to company can vary greatly. While there are many who can get the job done, there are few who truly do it well.
Services
Our expert arborists have the skills and experience to care for your trees. From trimming small ornamentals, to the removals of large landmark size trees, we do it safely and confidently. We strive to deliver personalized, quality tree services at a fair price!

Mountain Tree Care is a local, family owned and operated business dedicated to providing top quality tree services for the following communities: Boulder, Niwot, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, Broomfield, Superior and Nederland, Colorado (within 30 minutes of where our equipment is located in East Boulder in order to keep travel costs down and keep scheduling efficient).
A common misconception is that pruning should only be performed at certain times of year. On most trees light pruning can be performed at any time. If heavy pruning is necessary it's best to avoid pruning during the spring growth flush. During this time excessive sprouting can occur, bark and cambium are easily damaged and the tree's energy reserves are at their lowest point.
Sometimes there is no other option other than removing the tree, we can help you decide when it is necessary. When it is necessary to remove a tree we have the experience and knowledge to get the job done safely. Using the proper equipment and techniques we will keep our team and your property safe, as well as minimize impact on surrounding vegetation.
Once a tree has been removed, we can grind the stump below grade. This prevent regrowth, allows the area to be re-landscaped, and eliminates a visual blemish or potential tripping hazard. We use barricades to contain the mess and to reduce the likelihood of flying debris. Sometimes pruning alone may not sufficiently reduce the hazard posed by a tree due to size or structural defect.
Most of our wood chips are taken to local farms & nurseries, because they often need multiple truck loads during the growing season. When we have extra wood chips, we can deliver truck loads of wood chips to existing customers from Mountain Tree Care with a 10 yard minimum. Must be flexible on delivery time and date, and have a place ready to dump chips.

Aaron was able to meet with me quickly and knows so much about trees. Even the history of the local weather that damaged an ornamental fruit tree and what could be done for it at this point. His crew did a great job pruning with a thorough clean up afterwards. Highly recommend Mountain Tree Care.

Long story short, we had to get a Box Elder removed and needed it done quickly. Mountain Tree Care came right out and gave us an estimate and were able to get a crew out there to complete the job within a week. They did a fantastic job. Both Caleb and Jacob were prompt, professional, friendly, and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. There were some obstacles that made cutting the stump low difficult, but they took their time and got it lower than we even expected. I highly recommend Mountain Tree Care!

Aaron and his team were fantastic! I asked for some work on a quince bush, as well as taking down a dead pine tree. The work performed was extremely fast, looked outstanding, and the crew even showed up a little early!
Absolutely fantastic people, very easy to work with, and well worth the money. I’ll definitely be calling them again next spring.

I employed Mountain Tree Care to remove two pairs of large aspens that were dead or dying. They were very prompt in getting back to me with a quote. The date was quite a long way in the future because of the demand for their work, but they duly arrived at the time and date promised and very efficiently removed the trees. The stumps were ground out the same day, and they tidied up after the removal. The workforce that arrived knew exactly what they were doing, including some specific requirements I had mentioned when first booking the work. Overall I was very impressed with their professionalism

Aaron and his team are awesome! We live in the mountains and had several dead large trees very close to the house removed and also trimming up of some additional trees. They did an incredible job! The entire crew was very personable and professional and also did a wonderful job cleaning up all of the debris. Mountain Tree Care is an exceptional business and I would highly recommend their services!

Recently I had the pleasure of working with Mountain Tree Care on a problem (or so I perceived it). I’ve had MTC trim various living woody beings at my house – trees, bushes, junipers, etc. – all with fine results. This summer they worked on an Austrian pine, but I was surprised and quite concerned about how much was trimmed off the bottom. Would some branches die? Was the tree stable now? (I’d never had a pine/spruce tree trimmed before, and it looked radical to me.)
I sent an email expressing my concern and was pleasantly surprised when they responded immediately. The very next day Caleb
