Reviews of local pros in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Second review
I've used Tall Timers Tree Service for many years. A few weeks ago, I had another AMAZING service on the cottonwood, this time by Juan and Jacob/"Yoshei". It's been about 3 years since Tall Timbers removed the upper 40 feet of the cottonwood (see first review below).

After 3 yrs, HUGE slabs of bark were quickly coming loose and threatening to fall on me, the house, and the fence. Juan and Jacob showed incredible talent in de-barking the entire dead cottonwood safely! Just like always, the mess was thoroughly cleaned up (and there was A LOT of mess, with the bark, all of the Virginia Creeper that had been all over the tree, and the incredible amount of "papery tree stuff" that was under all of that bark!).

They even noticed an antique insulator mount that I had inadvertently left on the tree before the de-barking---thought it was gone for good, lost in all that mess.... but Juan and Jacob had kindly placed it where I would find it!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

A HUGE THANK YOU also to Meghan and Lauren at the office for their help to get this job scheduled earlier than originally planned--- before anything bad happened!!! I am so relieved....Tall Timbers has never let me down!

I owe a great many sincere thanks to TALL TIMBERS (& estimator Chase), the cutting team led by Justin, and Elite Crane (operator Brian). A 65-yr old cottonwood (110 ft-plus, >4 ft diameter trunk, ~10 ft from the back of the house) routinely dropped large branches with every wind or snowstorm. But, I’d had enough when, in the May 2022 snowstorm, a huge branch punched holes in the roof, resuling in interior ceiling damage).

I asked for canopy removal bids from 6 tree service companies. Three drove by, saw the tree, and kept on driving. I got 3 bids, all involving use of a crane due to the tree’s location. Two bids involved closure of the street. Only TALL TIMBERS said there was no need to close the street (saving $$ in city charges), as long as I could put up with 2 crane outriggers in my landscaped yard.

I had used TALL TIMBERS previously, and knew they were dependable, worked safely (for both the crew & my house), were thorough with cleanup.

Only TALL TIMBERS sent out an Elite Crane representative to talk directly with me, noting the proposed outrigger locations so that I could temporarily move the plants.

Only TALL TIMBERS proposed doing the job in late August. One of the other bidders wanted to wait until October when leaves would be off the tree so that the man securing the branches to the crane rigging “could see what they were doing”. TALL TIMBERS saved me weeks of worrying during wind events and the bonus of not having to do fall raking one last time!

TALL TIMBERS completed the job in approximately 8 hours, (with an additional 2 hrs put in by Elite Crane for setup /tear down. {One of the other bidding company's said it would take 2 to 2.5 days!}

Their efficiency was unbelievable; the coordination between the crane operator and Justin in the tree was astounding. I stayed in the house running back and forth between the front & back windows to watch as Justin roped ~8-ton sections, followed by crane operator Brian swinging them over the house into the street where a crew of 3-4 sent the upper portions into a massive shredder with lower large logs lifted by crane into a log truck. They kept the side of the street where they worked cleaned between “dismantling” each tree section, so that nothing would cause a problem with anyone driving through on the other side of the street (even using the leaf blower between each section’s removal). Some neighbors left cars on the other side of the street from where the branches were being placed by the crane, but with the amazing skill of the crane operator and the crew in the street, there was no damage to anything! It was truly mind boggling that this level of skill exists!

THANK YOU TALL TIMBERS AND ELITE CRANE!

Professional interactions and they did a good job. Pricing very comparable to others. Another "tree trimmer" hacked up our bushes. Tall Timbers cleaned up the other guy's mistakes and left the area looking nice.

Tall Timbers crew 3 did a great job on our trees today. We had used them in the past and they have always been excellent, and reasonably priced too. Daniel, Juan and Leon all went above and beyond today and were patient with us as we tried to find the balance between trimming too little and too much, and keeping the tree healthy. They cut one tree down, trimmed three more, and cut the larger limbs into sections for our fireplace. They did a superb job of cleaning up afterwards. And they did it all with care, professionalism and a great attitude, on a 93 degree day! Thanks, guys - you rock!

Team 1 was fantastic! The site is so clean after their work. The price is worth the great work. Ian, Colin, Yoshi, Kevin and Ken are a great, safe team.

Good work, good service, good price. They were especially awesome with working around the construction that was happening in the street. Couldn’t be happier.

What a great experience with Jacob and Crew 7! I contracted Tall Timbers to trim a huge amount of dead branches from two large cottonwoods in my back yard. Crew 7 arrived and got to work. They were well organized and worked great as a team to get the job done. It was impressive to watch. They cleaned the yard afterwards and even made time to play with my dog Molly for a few minutes. She loved the attention. Thank you Crew 7 for doing a fabulous job! Keri in Fountain

The gentlemen that came from Tall Timbers did an excellent job safely removing our ash trees. The trees were in an awkward place between houses and along a fence, and they skillfully removed everything without damage to any property. They also did a wonderful job cleaning up afterwards. My neighbors even commented on how well they did with everything. I highly recommend Tall Timbers!

Good price. Excellent service. The technicians were very courteous and Safe. They even fluffed the grass. Highly recommended

Mick the lead climber was courteous and professional. He pointed out to the other two crew members the native plant garden I had at the base of the tree they were trimming and told them to be sure and be careful to not damage the plants.

The other two crew members were efficient and professional they removed a large dead limb safely and did an excellent job trimming as well as cleaning up. Will hire them again when my trees need maintenance.

The team did an outstanding job. They cleaned up the property and exceeded expectations. Their attention to pruning trees correctly was first rate. Strongly recommended.

Crew was on time, efficient, they cleaned up all the trimmings and they were friendly and polite. They did a great job!

My tree was in need of trimming and Tall Timbers did a great job! The tree looks so much better. I would certainly recommend them!

Outstanding company. Just had Leon and Juan come out and remove dead from several trees, cut down dead tree and they trimmed a little extra that was not seen before or would enhance the health. The trees look amazing. Extremely knowledgeable, kind and professional. Very happy, and they call ahead which is a huge plus.
Trevor came out and reviewed my needs and gave me the quote and he is amazing and extremely knowledgeable as well and very kind and helpful and great prices. Megan who runs it all from the office is amazing! Very kind, answers all my questions and on top of it! Thank you to everyone. See you next service!

Crew #5 Jacob, Max and Darrian cleaned up several trees today. They did an excellent job, were courteous and professional and would definitely recommend Tall Timbers Tree Service.

Working with Ken Stott from Tall Timbers has been nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, Ken has gone above and beyond to provide a level of service that’s hard to come by these days. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable about his craft, but also genuinely helpful and attentive to every detail.

Ken takes the time to listen and understand exactly what you need, and he follows through with professionalism, care, and precision. Whether it was answering questions, making suggestions, or going the extra mile to make sure everything was just right—Ken was always one step ahead. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in his work, and it really shows in the final results.

It’s rare to come across someone who is both highly skilled and such a pleasure to work with. Ken is a true asset to Tall Timbers, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for quality work paired with top-tier customer service. He makes the whole process easy and stress-free, and you walk away knowing the job was done right.

Thank you, Ken, for your outstanding work—I’ll definitely be calling you again in the future!

Great experience with Tall Timbers in Colorado Springs. Their consult visit was quick, and the arborists on staff are all top-notch. They gave us a thorough appraisal for a number of jobs, from pruning, to felling a dead tree, to fertilizing a variety of trees on our property. The work crew was courteous, professional, and did the work safely. Clean up was great, too. We look forward to using Tall Timbers in the future and will recommend them to anyone looking for arbor work!

Tall Timbers has continually provided me with excellent service for fertilization, weevil treatment, and tree maintenance. Today, crew 7, with Jacob, Solomon, and Eric, did tree trimming for shaping, health and lifting on 3 of my shade trees. Their work was excellent, they answered my many questions, and taught me a lot more than I previously knew about good tree health. Thanks to your company for always providing the best professional tree care!

We obtained several quotes to spray our aspen trees for poplar borers. We received a quote on July 31st from Tall Timbers and based off of reviews and the initial customer service, we decided to proceed with Tall Timbers and informed they on August 8th. Due to the severity of the issue, we requested that they look into expediting the spraying for us, within 2-3 if possible. After a number of phone calls and several follow up calls, not from them, but us reaching out, we were finally scheduled for our trees to be sprayed on September 10th. September 10th came, and they were a no show and no call. After speaking with the office, they rescheduled the appointment for September 17th. What do you know, another no show. After speaking with them again, it turns out they had an event scheduled on the 17th which is why no one showed. They told us that they would have the manager call us on September 18th and shockingly, no call. Needless to say, I called them today and cancelled all services, not that there was anything to cancel. On top of all of that, we have come to find out, by speaking with 3 other companies, that spraying for aspen poplar borers in the fall is ineffective. So they were going to charge me for service that would have had no impact on my aspen trees. Rip off and poor customer service. Not sure how they received all the positive rating but maybe management has changed. Apparently, they do great with clearing trees but spraying and other services...steer clear and be aware. I gave them many opportunities to make the situation right and they have clearly shown they are not interested and have no sense of urgency. There are other solid companies that offer the same service and I would highly recommend doing your research.

The Tall Timbers crew are very efficient and professional. We had three trees that needed to be removed after the latest wind storm. They showed up and got the job done in a few hours and even left the site clean

Professional, good price, nice workers. They did a great job with a tree really close to the house without damaging the tree next it. The crew was polite and cleaned up everything, including the neighborhood street. Scheduling was a little slow and confusing but we're definitely happy we went with this company.

Tall timbers did a wonderful job on trimming the large tree in my front yard. They were on time, efficient and very reasonable pricing compared to others I got quotes from. I will use them again!
