Bristlecone Tree Care
About Bristlecone Tree Care
Bristlecone Tree Care is a tree care company in Buena Vista, Colorado. It does tree pruning, hazard tree removal, forest health restoration, and fire mitigation. The company offers free estimates and consultations, and its hazard tree analysis helps decide whether a tree has to come down. Dave Ludders owns the business and is a certified arborist, and two certified arborists work on staff. It is an ISA Rocky Mountain Chapter member and a TCIA member. On forested land, the crew thins trees to open space in the canopy and removes deadfall from the forest floor. Removed slash is chipped and broadcast in thin layers across the forest. The chips speed decomposition, build soil, aid moisture retention, and help with erosion. Tree climbers use rope access systems to reach trees in places that are hard to get to. The company works on cottonwood, spruce, Douglas fir, American elm, chokecherry, and pine, and its work covers Chaffee, Park, Lake, Fremont, Saguache, and Summit counties. The company does not take a tree down without an "absolute reason for it," and a lot of the time a tree can be saved with proper pruning. The smallest job on its pages was a 20 acre property, worked twice a year for three years for forest health restoration and fire mitigation, so 20 acres is the smallest size of job it has shown it does. The business is new, but it draws on 10 years of tree care experience. It suits a landowner with timber in those six counties who wants forest thinning and fire mitigation done, with the slash chipped and spread back across the ground.
