Many homeowners don’t think about their trees until something goes wrong, like a cracked limb, branches growing too close to power lines, or a tree that starts to lean. The good news is that a lot of those issues can be prevented with proper pruning.

Thinning the canopy helps air and light move through more easily, takes stress off the structure, and keeps the tree balanced. It plays a key role in maintaining both the health and stability of the tree over time.

Weight reduction can strategically reduce stress, and prevent limbs from breaking.

If you have trees that are overdue for maintenance or you’re not sure what they might need, we’re happy to take a look and give you a professional assessment. Taking care of your trees now can prevent costly problems later on.

Cañon City Tree Care is here to help with reliable, knowledgeable service whenever you need it.

🌳 Say No to Tree Topping 🌳

Tree topping, or the removal of large branches back to stubs or bare trunks, might seem like a quick fix for overgrown trees. After all, removing so much at once means you can save on pruning, right? Wrong! Tree topping does more harm than good. Here's why you should avoid it:

🌿 Tree Stress & Starvation: Topping removes crucial leaves that trees need for photosynthesis, leading to stress and weakened health.

🦠 Increased Risk of Disease & Pests: Large wounds from topping are slow to heal, inviting diseases and pests into the tree.

🌱 Weak & Rapid Regrowth: Trees respond to topping with weak, fast-growing shoots that require frequent pruning.

🚨 Risk & Liability: Topped trees become structurally unsound and pose safety risks.

Instead of topping, opt for crown reduction pruning to safely shorten branches while maintaining tree health. And remember, planting the right tree in the right place is key to avoiding future issues! 🌳

Spring is here in Cañon City, and your trees are waking up!
Now’s the perfect time to handle deadwooding, storm damage, and broken branches before the growing season kicks into full gear.

Pruning in early spring helps keep your trees healthy, improves structure, and gets your yard looking sharp. Most trees in our area benefit from spring cleanup. Just keep in mind, if you’ve got flowering trees, it’s best to wait until after they bloom.

We’re booking spring appointments now. Get in touch if your trees could use a little post-winter TLC!

Offering Tree Work, Local, Honest, and Ready to Work

Hey folks,
My name’s Tom, and I run Cañon City Tree Care here in the area. I recently moved to Cañon City from Utah, where I spent several years working for a large professional tree trimming company. Before that, I served in the military, and now I’m putting that experience and work ethic into offering reliable tree care here in southern Colorado for a low price.

I handle all types of tree work, including:

Removals (dead, hazardous, or in the way)

Proper pruning, including fruit trees

Debris cleanup

Fence line clearing

Fire mitigation

Storm damage and emergency work

I specialize in climbing, which lets me access and remove trees in tight spots where bucket trucks can’t reach. I also focus on proper pruning techniques that keep your trees healthy, strong, and looking their best. I’m licensed and insured, and I take pride in doing clean, careful work at a fair price.

If you’ve got trees that need attention, I’d be happy to come take a look. Free estimates, straight talk, and I’m booking jobs now for April and May in and around Cañon City, Fremont County, and Teller County.

Veterans and first responders, ask about discounts.

You can message me here or call/text 435-599-2294.
Thanks for supporting local. It means a lot.
