What is tree removal?
Tree removal is the controlled dismantling and hauling of a tree that can no longer be saved or safely kept. Garrett Tree Service assesses condition first, then rigs, climbs, or cranes the tree out piece by piece and hauls every limb off your property the same day.
Dead branches, peeling bark, fungal growth at the base, and heavy lean are all signs a tree is failing. On Front Range lots, a failing pine or cottonwood rarely falls where you'd want it to — it finds the roof, the fence, or the power drop. We evaluate the tree honestly, tell you whether it can be saved, and remove it only when removal is the right call.
Who needs tree removal?
- Dead, dying, or storm-damaged trees leaning toward a home, garage, or driveway
- Trees with visible decay, cavities, mushrooms, or root-plate lifting
- Trees crowding a foundation, sewer line, or roofline
- Lots being cleared for a build, addition, or new driveway
How the work actually goes
Every tree removal job follows the same four steps so there are no surprises on price, schedule, or cleanup.
- 01
Free on-site assessment
We look at condition, lean, targets, and access, then quote a fixed scope in writing.
- 02
Property protection
Drop zones matting, landscape and furniture moved or covered, drive plated where needed.
- 03
Controlled dismantling
Climbing, rigging, or crane-assisted removal so nothing free-falls onto what you care about.
- 04
Full haul-off and cleanup
Limbs chipped, wood hauled, ground raked. You should not be able to tell we were there.
What affects the cost of tree removal?
We quote a fixed scope in writing after seeing the tree. These are the factors that move the number up or down.
- Height, spread, and species — a 70-foot ponderosa is not a 20-foot ornamental
- Access: can a truck and chipper reach it, or does everything come out by hand
- Targets nearby — roofs, fences, and power lines mean more rigging time
- Whether you want the stump ground and the wood hauled or left as rounds

Tree Removal FAQs
- Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Colorado Springs?
- Trees on private property generally do not require a permit, but street trees and trees in the public right-of-way do. We tell you which category yours is in during the estimate.
- Can you remove a tree that's right against my house?
- Yes. Tight removals are most of our work — we rig sections down under control rather than felling, and we crane out anything that can't be safely lowered.
- Do you grind the stump too?
- Stump grinding is available with any removal. We'll quote it separately so you can decide.
- How fast can you get here after a storm?
- Hazardous, actively-threatening trees get priority. Call 719-696-0787 and we'll tell you honestly when a crew can be on site.
