Forestry Consultants

Ace Tree Care, Inc. Griff Gehring is a tree care business based in Littleton, Colorado, run by Griff, who has served Colorado customers since 1998. The work is fire mitigation and tree care rather than timber sales: tree removal, tree thinning, brush clearing, and scrub oak removal. Griff is a Certified Master Logger and Arborist, and the company follows guidelines from Colorado State University, the Society of American Foresters, and the Rocky Mountain Research Station when putting together a fire mitigation plan. The process starts with "developing management zones around each building on your property" to cut down on the vegetation and ladder fuels that let a wildfire spread fast and jump toward structures. The company offers a free, no-obligation assessment and free estimates before any work begins. Ace Tree Care Inc. serves homeowners across Douglas County and also works in Boulder, Chaffee, Eagle, El Paso, Elbert, Gilpin, Grand, Park, Pitkin, Routt, and Teller counties, along with other towns across Colorado. It is licensed and insured, and describes its priority as keeping a property "beautiful -- and safe in the event of a wildland fire." This fits a Douglas County landowner whose trees and brush sit close to the house and who wants someone to thin, clear, and reduce fire risk around buildings, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber for profit.

Dove Creek Forestry, Inc. Brian Curry is a forestry consulting business based in Elizabeth, Colorado. They work on forest stand improvement, forest fuels reduction, habitat improvement, and land clearing, and they've operated since 2008. The work runs in a few steps: you reach out by phone, email, or the contact form to set up a free on-site walkthrough, and from there they put together a formal quote with a plan for the work. Timber harvested from their projects goes to sawlogs, firewood, and mulch, which gets delivered to local mills, firewood distributors, mulching facilities, and private buyers. Their harvested timber comes from their own Colorado-based projects. They describe their approach to clearing this way: "We don't clear land aimlessly. Each case is individually assessed to decide how to best serve our clients and the land they're looking to improve." There's no stated minimum acreage or tract size for this business. This fits a Colorado landowner who wants forest health work done, fire fuels reduced, or land cleared, and who wants the person to walk the property with them before any numbers get put on paper.

Elk Mountain Tree Services Steven Neis is a tree care business based in Indian Hills, Colorado, listed as a forestry consultant and working in Jefferson County. The work itself is tree removal, both technical and non-technical, trimming, pest control, firewood, and fire mitigation such as brush removal and "Creating Defensible Spaces" around structures. Nothing here is about buying standing timber or logging a tract; no species or timber sale process is described, so this is tree work on your property rather than a timber purchase. They say every project starts with a "thorough consultation to understand your goals and the needs of the project," so you talk through what you want done before anything starts. They describe themselves as fully licensed and insured. The area they cover is Indian Hills, Conifer, Evergreen, Kittredge, Morrison, and surrounding areas. This fits a landowner near those towns who needs trees taken down, limbed up, or cleared back for fire safety around the house, not someone trying to find a buyer for standing timber.

Enviro Land Management, LLC Lance Armstrong is a vegetation management contractor based in Whitewater, Colorado, family owned and operating since 2001. The work centers on mechanical mastication and timber removal, used for ski area expansion and maintenance, wildland urban interface clearing, landowner defensible space, wildlife habitat improvement, post fire rehabilitation, beetle infestation work, hazard tree removal, and general thinning "to improve Forest Heath." They also take on general forestry equipment operation and are a contracted wildland fire fighting contractor. Their equipment operators carry "10 to 30 plus years of experience." This is land-clearing and vegetation work rather than a standing timber sale in the usual sense, so landowners thinking about selling timber outright should ask directly how a project like theirs would be handled. The business describes itself as aiming to work "on time, on budget with the highest quality of work while maintaining an impeccable safety record." This fits a landowner dealing with beetle kill, fire risk, overgrown stands, or a property that needs clearing and thinning rather than a straightforward log sale.

Firewood to Logging Dana Roe is a family owned outfit based in Bailey, Colorado, working in Park County. They've been in business since 1981, doing tree work, logging, and land clearing for landowners up in the mountains. Their main trade is tree care, but it stretches into logging and site work too. They handle fire mitigation and defensible space work, tree removal, tree thinning, and tree climbing, plus beetle analysis and cutting for pine stands. On the land-clearing side, they do new road cuts, new home sites, driveways, septic system cuts, and some limited excavation work, and they've worked with subdivisions, HOA and AG programs, and state and federal properties including state parks. For logging itself, they handle log decks, chipping up to 12 inches, limbing, slash removal, and firewood. The species they name is pine. They say "fire mitigation has become a necessity to protect our homes and mountain lifestyle," and note that "insurance companies have even started canceling certain homeowner insurance policies" where fire mitigation around a home or outbuilding falls short. This fits a Park County landowner with pine on the property who's thinking about fire risk as much as timber value, especially someone who wants tree thinning, beetle-killed pine cleared, or a site prepped for a new driveway or home, alongside straightforward logging work.

High Prairie Tree and Turf, Inc Ray Hardy is a tree care business based in Parker, Colorado, run by the Hardy family. They have been working in the state for over 43 years. If you've got trees that need looking after rather than timber you want sold, this is who you'd call. Their work covers diagnosis and consultation, pest management, stress reduction and tree health, tree removal, aesthetic pruning, lot development, and fire mitigation. They say "High Prairie Tree and Turf has answers for all your arboriculture needs." They work with homeowners, home builders, metro districts, HOAs, and commercial developers and managers across Colorado, not just small landowners. A job starts with a call or email to set up a visit. They look at each property on its own, since no two are the same, and consultations and estimates cost nothing. They describe themselves as a smaller outfit, saying this lets them offer "a more personal relationship between ourselves and our customers" along with closer quality control. This fits a landowner whose trees need health care, pruning, removal, or fire mitigation work rather than someone looking to sell standing timber or get a logging job done. If you want your woods logged or a timber sale run, this outfit's focus is tree and turf care, not timber harvest or purchase. From highprairietree.co, read 10 October 2026.

LAM Tree Service Ryan Reed is a tree care business based in Conifer, Colorado, working in Jefferson County and nearby foothill towns west of Denver, including Evergreen, Pine, Kittredge, Idledale, Indian Hills, Morrison, Golden, Idaho Springs, Georgetown and Empire. The work covers tree removal, trimming, pruning and deadwooding, plant health care, tree planting, firewood, and free mulch and chipping, along with snow removal in winter. The trees named are ponderosa pine, spruce, fir and juniper. A visit to the property comes before any estimate, there's no charge for the estimate within the service area, and stumps are cut close to ground level unless grinding is asked for as a separate job. "Difficult tree removals are our specialty." Staff hold ISA Certified Arborist credentials, a Certified Tree Safety Professional, a Tree Risk Assessment Qualification, and Colorado Department of Agriculture pesticide applicator licenses. The business has worked in the area since 1978. This fits a landowner who wants a tree removed, pruned, or treated for pests on a few acres in the foothills, not someone looking to sell standing timber for logging.

White Elk Forestry LLC Christopher Scott works with Colorado landowners who have ponderosa, lodgepole, or limber pine on their property. It's owner-operated, run by a former wildland firefighter, and fully insured. The work is forestry and tree care rather than timber buying: wildfire mitigation, defensible space, mountain pine beetle mitigation, hazard tree removal, storm and windblown cleanup, forest health and fuels reduction, and work in steep or hard-to-reach ground. For mountain pine beetle, the approach starts with a property assessment to find infested trees, judge which stands are vulnerable, and plan removal and proper handling before the next beetle flight. The business says it is "built for small & mid-sized properties" and describes itself as "specialized in difficult access," which matters if your acreage includes steep slopes or tough terrain that other outfits pass on. It serves Colorado generally, with named work in Larimer, Boulder, Gilpin, Jefferson, Clear Creek, Teller, Park, Douglas, and El Paso County. This fits a landowner on Colorado's Front Range dealing with beetle-killed or fire-risk pine on land that's awkward to get equipment into, who wants someone to walk the property, explain what's happening to the trees, and handle removal properly rather than just dropping wood and leaving.

Legacy Forest Management LLC is a forestry consulting business based in Monte Vista, Colorado, working with landowners in Rio Grande County. The work covers forest management plans, forest improvement plans, thinning and hazardous fuels reduction, forest inventory and stand exams, pest and forest health management, tree risk assessment, project layout and individual tree marking, rangeland health assessment, geospatial mapping, wildfire recovery and reforestation, and forest economics and feasibility review. The forester leading the business holds ACF consulting forester standing, is an active member of the Society of American Foresters, and carries the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification. The business describes itself as built "to close that gap by providing practical, science-based, and locally informed forestry expertise for the people who need it most," and says it works "without the politics, bureaucracy, or grant-driven agendas that often complicate landowner needs." It serves southern Colorado and the broader Southwestern region, with its base in Monte Vista. This fits a landowner who wants a plan written, trees marked, a hazard tree checked out, or a thinning project overseen on the ground, rather than someone looking only for a timber sale or logging crew.

Greenleaf Forestry and Wood Products Inc runs a sawmill in Westcliffe, Colorado, and does forestry consulting and timber buying as well. "Wood products, tree service, and forest management are what we specialize in," is how they put it, and the work covers thinning and removal of overgrowth, fire mitigation and defensible space, insect and disease control for Ips and mountain pine beetles and mistletoe, nursery trees and tree transplanting, forest management plans and Community Wildfire Protection Plans, firewood cutting programs, cutting view corridors, brush and slash clean up, road and trail maintenance, and fencing. They work with ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, bristlecone pine, white fir, and blue spruce. A job starts with their forest inspection service, which they call the best way to begin active forestry on a property. They say they pay for removed wood at market value or offer credits to help offset the cost of the work, and that ongoing work comes with return visits year after year, an annual review of the plan, and discounts on products at their Westcliffe sawmill. They serve Custer County and have been creating wood products and managing forested properties since 2003. This fits a landowner who wants one outfit to walk the property, handle the fire risk around the house, and take the timber and firewood off at the same time, rather than hiring separate people for each piece.

Woodchuck Forestry is a logging and forestry consulting business out of Tabernash, Colorado. It works land in Grand County, handling timber harvesting, land clearing and site prep, fire mitigation and fuel reduction, erosion control and stream protection, reforestation and habitat restoration, forest management consultation, and slash burning. A project starts with a free assessment. The crew says it will "work closely with you to develop a customized forestry plan that meets your goals," whether you're a landowner, a business, or a government agency. They describe their range of work this way: "From timber harvesting and land clearing to fire mitigation and habitat restoration, we offer a full range of forestry services tailored to your specific needs." The crew says it carries "60+ years of experience in mountain terrain management," and that the business is insured and aligns with the goals of the Grand County Wildfire Council. The team includes a logger with a self-loading log truck, a consultant with a background in Colorado State Forestry, and others who've worked equipment and timber in Grand County for decades. This fits a landowner in Grand County who wants more than a straight timber sale, someone also thinking about wildfire risk, erosion, or restoring the land after the cutting is done. From woodchuck-forestry.com, read 10 October 2026.

Outlaw Forestry is a forestry and land-management business based in Eagle, Colorado, run by an ISA Certified Arborist (RM-8231A). They work on ranches, estates and larger mountain properties, doing wildfire mitigation and defensible space work, lot clearing and site planning, selective forest thinning, wildlife habitat enhancement, beetle-kill and disease management, custom trail building, and long-term stewardship planning. The trees they talk about are Douglas fir, blue spruce, pinon and ponderosa pine, aspen, and lodgepole. They describe their approach as building "multi-year stewardship plans" instead of running blanket logging on a property, and they say "Low-Impact Execution: Heavy machinery shouldn't leave heavy scars" when it comes to how they handle equipment on a site. Work starts with a walk or drive around the property, sometimes with a drone pass to map game trails and thick understory, then a plan built around the landowner's own priorities, carried out over several years rather than all at once. They serve Eagle, Pitkin, Summit, Garfield and Routt counties, covering Vail, Aspen, Steamboat Springs, Glenwood Springs and the surrounding mountain communities. This fits a landowner with a larger ranch or legacy property in Eagle, Pitkin, Summit, Garfield or Routt county who wants wildfire mitigation and habitat work handled by one arborist-led crew over several years, rather than a one-time timber sale. From outlawforestry.com, read 10 October 2026.

Marshall Forestry Solutions is a logging and forestry outfit based in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. They handle fire mitigation, mastication, logging, material production, and consulting, and they work on lodgepole pine stands, built around "unique equipment, experienced crews" and processes meant to leave the ground clean when they're done. Their work runs from large clear cuts with high-production equipment down to low-impact, selective harvesting on steeper ground. One project near Fraser involved thinning steep slopes up to 70 percent and produced 102 truckloads. They also take on consulting work, helping landowners put together plans for grants and land management. A sister company, The Mill in Kremmling, gives them a direct outlet for merchantable timber, so logs from their projects go somewhere rather than sitting in a slash pile. They say they serve landowners across Northern CO, and they've been doing this since 2016. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job shown on their site is a 68+ acre thinning project, so smaller tracts may be outside what they typically take on. This looks like a fit for someone with a larger parcel, especially one with fire risk, beetle-killed timber, or storm damage, who wants an outfit that also runs its own mill outlet for the wood it cuts.
