About High Prairie Tree and Turf, Inc Ray Hardy
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.
Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
