Tree reviews in Fort Collins, Colorado

James was able to come and provide his advice and expertise regarding a large tree removal in our back yard. Although the timing did not work out, I really appreciate his taking the time to communicate with me about possible replacements in the fall. Thanks so much!

Five Stars – Highly Recommend
I contacted Colorado Tree Service when one of our aspens started leaning dangerously during a windstorm. Jackie responded quickly via text and reviewed photos before scheduling a convenient appointment. James came out, assessed the situation, and we agreed removal was the best option since bracing it to our deck wasn’t ideal. He completed the job quickly and carefully, even working around our fence. I asked if he could leave some firewood for our fire pit, and he happily did so at no extra charge. Great service from start to finish!

It’s always sad to lose a tree; but once one is dead, it needs to come down before the next severe wind storm. We are beyond pleased with the prompt and professional service we received from Northern Colorado Tree Service. They made quick work of an moderately-sized oak tree in a rather tight location, and even quicker work of grinding the stump the following day. Their crew was efficient, their pricing was fair, and should the need arise, I would certainly use them again. I recommend them without hesitation.

Northern CO Tree Service far surpassed our expectations with their incredible work. After taking down a very large and beloved but diseased old blue spruce close to our house, they cut the trunk into usable sections so that we can make benches, and even hauled them to the area of the yard where we need to work on them. All this while taking great care not to damage our house, landscaping, or even the lawn! Other than the tree being transformed into big logs in our work area, it was hard to tell they had been here. Hats off to Zachariah and crew!!
In addition, they did a polished job of trimming other trees, and treated our ash trees for ash borer as safely as possible. As a person with pesticide sensitivity, I especially appreciated James' concern and respect for my health, plus the health of his crew and the ecosystem in general! It is reassuring to know that he will not recommend unneeded treatments, as is quite common with other companies.
We can't imagine being any happier with the service we received! They have our highest recommendation!!

James and his crew are absolute beasts. I called NOCO for an estimate and got one within three days. Other companies took up to 10 days just for a visit to my property. The work was scheduled on their calendar for two weeks after proposal during a very busy time of year for tree work. Highly recommended.....

This is a very good company! These guys had a nightmare of a project dealing with very huge, old and unhealthy elm trees that were out of control and dangerous! They came in with a great crew and tackled the job very professionally and efficiently. I thought the price was very reasonable. I would recommend this company to anyone!

Northern Colorado Tree Service did an amazing job pruning a large elm in my yard that had a large dead branch and many more too close to the house! They were super efficient, easy to talk to about an concerns and left all the mulch for me to use for landscaping! Thanks a bunch!

Northern Colorado Tree Service did an exceptional job! My husband and I were impressed by their great customer service (always quick to respond when I called or texted), they met all our needs, were clean and professional. They went above and beyond our initial expectations(we had a family emergency and had to cancel and reschedule last minute, they were understanding and worked with our schedule)! We will definitely use them for future needs and on our properties for tree and stump removal.

Our cat has been missing for 4 days, and when searching on foot last night, we found he'd gotten stuck about 50 feet high in a seemingly unscaleable tree. We contacted SEVERAL arborists in the area; not only was Northern Colorado Tree service the only one to respond, but they responded promptly and came to his rescue within an hour. James, the owner, is a very kind and talented climber and was able to scale the tree with ease, rescuing our sweet boy within half of an hour. We are SO grateful, and highly recommend their services!

Recently worked with Northern Colorado Tree Service to have a massive cottonwood tree removed and you can't even tell it was there! I can't recommend them enough! The owner, James, is veey experienced and I felt I received really good value for the professional service provided. The team was great, making the process of removing a large cottonwood tree seamless. Additionally, the office was incredibly friendly and made me feel very comfortable answering all my questions. If you need tree services in Northern Colorado, look no further than these dudes; it couldn't have gone better.

We could not be happier than we are with NCTS. Jackie and James were responsive, professional and we were legitimately stunned with the efficiency their crew removed our 25+ year old cottonwood hybrid.

Though they can't take credit for the ease of access to our tree, they used it and well. Not only did they remove the tree quickly and efficiently, they managed to do so without trampling/crushing the white spruce sapling only a few feet from the trunk.

They shredded the majority of the tree with the industrial chipper, hauling only the largest pieces of the trunk, they also removed a brush/yardwaste pile and put it through the chipper without being asked.

All told they were in our yard approximately 4 hours, leaving only tracks in the lawn from the stump grinder which will be gone within a few weeks once the spring weather hits.

Highly recommend these folks for all of your arborism needs.

Great service and LOCAL! Very informative and they are upfront and honest. Which is everything you want. We had a large Elm tree and Cottonwood tree removed and had a few other trees trimmed up about 2 yrs ago. Last year we had a few limbs break during a snowstorm in 2021. They did such a great job we called them out again. I can’t say enough, I highly recommend them.

James and his crew did a safe and fantastic job removing our big, deadish cottonwood during some of the coldest days this winter. My kids loved watching them work and got to be late for school. NCTS was quick, cleaned up and didn't waste any time. We will have them treat some ash trees in the Spring. Very easy to work with NCTS.

Had our trees trimmed and another removed today. What a treat to watch James and his crew. It is very impressive to see the way they safely climb the trees to get to the branches that need to be cleared away. They left the yard more neatly groomed than when they started. Highly recommend them!!

We had four trees taken down by Northern Colorado Tree Service and they were easy to work with, responsive to our questions, affordable and super professional. They did a great job and we'll be using them again for any future tree trimming needs.

We recently used them to trim one of our trees. We've used Northern Colorado Tree a few times, to remove a tree and tree trimming and stump removal. Each time they have been great to work with. Friendly service, and great value. We will continue to use them.

Contracted with NCTS twice now, and each time has been a great experience. Prompt, professional service, especially for urgent situations. The work they did each time exceeded my expectations. Good communications and work estimate made clear up front. Would definitely use them again.

The crew was on time and got right to work.
We had several types and sizes of trees in need of trimming. The men did a great job and cleaned up afterwards. I highly recommend Northern Colorado Tree Service.

I am a local independent insurance agent, and I have sent dozens of my clients to Norther Colorado Tree Service for anything tree related and NEVER had a complaint! Recently I was able to work with them on my own property, and James and Jackie were absolutely amazing to work with. Very professional and prompt communication and even more efficient performing the work! I had a mess of dead limbs and branches growing into the roof of the home and into the neighbors' yards and James and his team knew exactly what needed to be done without any hassle or headache! My backyard looks great again and I cannot recommend them enough! True Professionals and all-around great people to work with!

James was super accommodating for the work we needed on our blue spruce as well as some last minute additions to the scope. His team was professional and I would happily use them again for future projects.

We will definitely be using Northern CO Tree Service again. Not only did they do a good job pruning our tree; but the communication prior to the job was excellent, and the pricing was clear cut and there were no surprises.
