Services
Tree Planting
We plant native Colorado trees up to 35 feet tall, including pine, spruce, and aspen species. Our process incorporates a 3-Part Growth Stimulant Program with Bioplex, Mycorrhizae, and fertilizer tablets. Each planting includes drip irrigation systems and composted mulch to ensure optimal growth conditions in mountain climates.
Tree Moving
Specialized tree relocation using a 90-inch spade for trees up to 12-inch trunk diameter. We safely move trees for privacy screening, wildfire mitigation, or property renovations. Our process includes branch tying, root ball protection, and post-transplant care to maintain tree health during relocation.
Growth Stimulant Program
Our proprietary 3-Part Growth Stimulant Program combats root shock with Bioplex, enhances root mass through Mycorrhizae application, and provides sustained nutrition via 2-year fertilizer tablets. This scientifically formulated approach ensures rapid establishment and long-term vitality for transplanted trees in challenging environments.
Drip Irrigation
Custom-designed drip irrigation systems deliver water directly to tree root zones. Our installations optimize water efficiency while promoting deep root development. Systems are tailored to each tree's size and species requirements, featuring adjustable flow rates for seasonal climate variations in mountain regions.
Arborist Consulting
Professional assessment of tree health, species suitability, and maintenance requirements. Our certified arborists provide expert recommendations for disease prevention, growth optimization, and landscape integration.
