- 01
Canopy walk-through
We identify deadwood, weak unions, rubbing limbs, and clearance problems with you on site.

Prune to standard
Proper collar cuts, no topping, no lion-tailing, and never more live crown than the tree can afford to lose.
- 03
Clearance work
Roof, structure, and driveway clearance set so limbs stop scraping siding and shingles.

Chip and clean
All brush chipped and hauled, beds and lawn blown clean before we leave.
Falcon conditions that affect the job
Local terrain, access, and tree stock change how tree trimming & pruning gets done in Falcon.
- Open acreage lots where high east-side wind takes down weakened and dead trees first.
- Beetle-killed pine in the wooded pockets between Falcon and Black Forest.
- Long driveways and outbuildings that give trees plenty of targets when they fail.
- Grass-to-tree transitions where defensible space matters as much as it does in the forest.
What affects the price: Tree size and how much of the canopy needs work; Whether the crew can work from the ground, a lift, or has to climb; Deadwood volume — years of neglect takes longer than annual maintenance; Number of trees; multiple trees in one visit is always cheaper per tree.
