Range of Storm Cleanup Services


No single solution will fit every storm aftermath. While some problems require someone to address them immediately, others can be scheduled when things quiet down. Our Denver Certified Arborists take into consideration your property and situation when we provide you with an estimate for our services.

Remove branches and debris blocking access and utilities: In some cases, utility service providers, or city or county jurisdictions, have their own mitigation crews for tree & plant removal after a storm. Their priority is returning service, not restoring private property. We pick up where they leave off.

Inspect tree safety and health: Once downed plant material is removed, we examine how and why the damage occurred. Tree sickness and disease can be causes. Weakened roots or poor landscape design also contribute to problems.

Assess actions for landscape recovery: Depending on what we find, we may recommend additional, deliberately designed pruning and trimming to restore trees and shrubs. In some cases, removal may be necessary. We discuss options with you, so you understand the scope of what’s required versus consequences if no action is taken.

Develop immediate and long-term action plans: While some trees may need a pruning immediately to foster beneficial growth, other long-term actions, such as addressing soil imbalances, root damage, and tree structure supports may be needed. We help you create a plan that’s comfortable for your liability protection and your budget.

As in any disaster situation, unscrupulous vendors may arrive at your door, offering a quick, cheap solution to your Denver storm damage cleanup needs. Ask for their insurance certifications, credentials and customer references.

For those with a chainsaw and ready to do it yourself, remember that personal safety should never take a back seat to a fast and seemingly inexpensive job. You want to be around to enjoy that landscape in the future.

Taking Time to Do the Correct Job


Colorado State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences points out in various linked publications that time spent in assessment and planning before undertaking a major landscape overhaul is always time well-spent. Certain cleanup situations do require rapid response, but most of what needs to be addressed should be undertaken as a more deliberate and seasonal approach.

In some cases, trees with visible damage and shrubs needing work can wait until another point in their annual growth cycle with better results. Understanding those cycles and what they mean for tree health requires an arborist trained in the latest science and research about how best to treat our urban forests.

Your safety is important to us too, so we only recommend solutions we would feel good about when our own Denver area homes are in question. Taking shortcuts is not on our agenda. Rest assured that any plan we present to you has been thought out with that in mind.

Call Arbortec first after a storm strikes. Let the experienced tree service in Denver take care of those immediate safety needs and develop a longer-term mitigation plan to help you restore your landscape to even greater splendor.
