Tree Trimming
Trim It Like Tarzan
Tree trimming services keep trees healthy, safe, and shaped correctly for their surroundings. At Tarzan Tree Care, we handle everything from limb removal to reshaping overgrown branches through careful tree shaping. We work throughout Evergreen and the surrounding area with a focus on strong structure and clear property lines. Whether it’s routine tree maintenance or an urgent trim to prevent damage, we climb in and cleanly get the job done.
Why Tree Trimming Is Important
Professional tree trimming plays a big part in protecting homes, improving tree strength, and managing wildfire risk. Regular trimming helps reduce dead or weak limbs that can break under heavy snow or high wind — both common across the state.
In forested areas like Evergreen, keeping branches away from rooftops and power lines also lowers the chance of fire spreading. When trees are properly shaped and spaced, they have better airflow and light exposure. Canopy thinning can also reduce weight and stress on large limbs, helping trees stay upright and balanced.
Our Trimming Process
We assess each tree’s structure, limb placement, and distance from buildings or power lines, focusing on branches that are dead, damaged, too low, or encroaching on structures. Using climbing gear or lifts, we reach each area without damaging the tree or surroundings, making clean cuts that support healthy growth. Debris is removed or chipped on-site, and we leave the area clear and tidy.
Signs It’s Time to Trim
Some trees make it obvious when it’s time for a trim. Others change more gradually. Keeping an eye out for certain signs can help prevent property damage, reduce safety risks, and keep trees in better shape overall. If you’re seeing any of these, it might be time to call in the crew.
Dead or Cracked Limbs
Dry, brittle branches can fall without warning.
Scraping
Constant contact with your home can damage shingles, paint, or gutters, and may invite pests.
Power Lines
Branches touching power lines create serious fire and electrical hazards.
Unbalanced Growth
Uneven growth or a leaning trunk can throw off balance and lead to tipping.
Trees We Trim
We trim the trees that grow throughout the foothills, from Evergreen to Bailey, Pine, Indian Hills, Bear Creek, Genesee, and Kittredge. That includes aspen, pine, spruce, fir, and other native species common to these elevations. Whether it’s a tall ponderosa near the driveway or a fast-growing aspen by the deck, we work with the trees found in these mountain communities to keep them shaped and safe for the environment they grow in.
Seasonal Tree Trimming in Colorado
Colorado’s changing seasons each bring different conditions that affect trees in unique ways. Timing your trimming with the seasons can help prevent damage, guide strong growth, and prepare your property for what’s ahead. Some seasons are better for shaping, while others are best for removing hazards or cleaning up after storms.
With trees dormant, winter is the ideal time to focus on shaping. Without leaves in the way, it's easier to spot weak or crossing branches. Cuts made during this season heal more slowly, but they avoid the rush of sap and pests that show up in warmer months.
Heavy snow and ice can break limbs or cause cracks. Spring is a good time to remove deadwood, catch damage early, and support fresh growth. It’s also a window before nesting season, when trimming should be done with more caution.
Full foliage can hide dead or overextended limbs, which may break during summer storms. Trimming in summer helps maintain safe clearances around homes, driveways, and walkways. It also opens up views and can reduce fire risk in dry months.
Autumn trimming helps remove weak limbs before snow arrives. This reduces the chance of breakage during winter storms. Fall is also a time to clear out anything already damaged by wind or heavy rain earlier in the year.
