Timber Buyers & Forestry Professionals in Silverthorne, CO

Layman Tree Service is a tree removal and forest care business based in Breckenridge, Colorado. Robbie Layman owns and runs it, and it has worked in Summit County since 2018. The business is licensed and insured. Its services include tree removal, fire mitigation, tree risk assessment, emergency tree removal, lot clearing, pruning, forest health consultation, ground fuels reduction, forest thinning, and firewood sales. Much of the work involves aspen, spruce, and pine beetle kill trees. The approach is to preserve as much of an aspen stand as possible. On each job, the crew assesses the area to find "clear drop zones" before any tree comes down, then picks clear paths for moving the material once it is felled. Robbie learned the trade from arborists who have worked across the United States and from tree felling experts with the U.S. Forest Service. The firm also helps with Defensible Space Grant applications for tree projects. The wood from tree removal becomes firewood, and Layman Tree Service delivers it to homes in Summit or Park County, including Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon, Keystone, Copper Mountain, and Breckenridge. It serves Summit and Park Counties, with Eagle County, including Vail and Avon, available on request. Other towns it works in include Heeney, Blue River, Montezuma, Fairplay, Alma, Bailey, and Lake George. The office is open Monday through Saturday, 8 am to 5 pm, at 970-331-0790. It suits a homeowner or landowner in Summit or Park County who needs dead or beetle-killed trees removed or thinned near a home and wants firewood delivered from the same crew.
