Tree Removal in Denver & Colorado's Front Range
Licensed, insured, and equipped for any removal — residential or commercial.
Tree removal in the Denver metro typically costs $300–$800 for small trees and $1,500–$5,000+ for large or hazardous removals. The final price depends on tree size, location, access, and whether the tree is near structures or power lines. Alpenglow Tree Care provides professional tree removal across Denver, the Northern Metro, the Front Range Foothills, and Colorado's High Country.
Alpenglow Tree Care LLC is a licensed and insured tree service company based in Broomfield, Colorado. We remove trees of all sizes — dead, dying, storm-damaged, or just in the way. Every removal includes full debris cleanup and haul-off.
When Does a Tree Need to Come Down?
Not every tree can or should be saved. Here are the most common reasons we get called for removal:
- Dead or dying trees that pose a fall risk
- Storm-damaged trees with split trunks or major limb failure
- Trees growing into structures, foundations, or utility lines
- Beetle-killed pines common in the foothills and mountains
- Trees cleared for construction, landscaping, or access
- Leaning trees that have shifted after storms or soil erosion
How We Handle Tree Removal
Every removal starts with an on-site assessment. We look at the tree's condition, lean, proximity to structures, and the best way to bring it down safely. For trees near houses, garages, or power lines, we use rigging and sectional removal — taking the tree apart in pieces from the top down.
We bring the right equipment for the job: chainsaws, rigging gear, chippers, and stump grinders when needed. Our crew handles the entire process — cutting, lowering, chipping, and hauling. When we leave, your property is clean.
We're equipped for tight-access properties where large equipment can't reach. Backyards, fenced lots, steep slopes — we've worked them all.
How much does tree removal cost in Denver?
Small tree removal (under 25 feet) typically runs $300–$800. Medium trees (25–50 feet) range from $800–$2,000. Large trees (50+ feet) or hazardous removals near structures usually cost $2,000–$5,000+. We provide free on-site estimates so you know the exact cost before any work starts.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Colorado?
It depends on your municipality. Denver, Boulder, and some HOA communities require permits for certain tree removals, especially for large or protected species. We can help you determine whether your job needs a permit and what's involved.

Tree Removal FAQ
Most residential tree removals take 2–6 hours depending on size and complexity. Large or hazardous trees near structures may take a full day. We'll give you a time estimate during your free on-site assessment.
Stump grinding is a separate service that can be added to any removal job. We grind stumps 6–12 inches below grade and backfill with the grindings. Most customers add stump grinding — it keeps your yard usable and prevents regrowth. See our stump grinding page for details.
Yes. We specialize in close-quarters removals near houses, garages, fences, and power lines. We use rigging and sectional removal to take the tree apart in controlled pieces. This is what separates professional removal from someone with a chainsaw.
