Ault sits on wide, wind-exposed lots where old elms, cottonwoods, and juniper windbreaks define the farm town landscape. These trees are beautiful but demand serious maintenance, especially when heavy spring snows, Chinook winds, and dry summers stress them out.

Fort Collins Tree Service knows Ault's terrain and its trees. We've cleared deadwood from century-old elms, cleaned up storm damage on cottonwoods, and maintained windbreak junipers for homeowners and landowners across the 80650 ZIP code. When your trees need professional attention, we're the crew that understands what grows here and what it takes to keep it healthy or remove it safely.

Tree Service in Ault (80650)

Ault's character comes from its big, mature trees on properties that often span several acres. You'll find towering American elms and cottonwoods that have stood for decades, plus juniper and Russian olive windbreaks planted to break the relentless wind coming down from the foothills. The soil is heavy alkaline clay, the elevation sits around 5,000 feet, and the weather swings hard: wet spring snows that load branches, summer drought stress, and Chinook winds that can snap limbs or topple whole trees without warning.

Our team has spent years working on exactly these species in exactly this climate. We know which elms are showing early signs of emerald ash borer stress, how to deadwood cottonwoods safely without killing them, and when a windbreak juniper is worth saving versus when removal makes sense. We handle the full range of work: tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, emergency storm cleanup, and land clearing on larger properties.

How a Job Works in Ault

You call us at (970) 666-6628 or request a free estimate online. We schedule a time to visit your property, walk the site, assess the trees, and talk through what you need. On a typical Ault lot with mature trees and open space, we take time to understand sight lines, power line proximity, and where debris will land. We'll explain our approach in plain language and give you a realistic price before we start.

When we show up to work, we bring the right equipment for the job. Tree removal on an Ault property might mean rigging limbs down carefully if a tree is near a structure, or felling it in open space if you have the room. We chip branches on site when possible, haul logs and debris, and grind stumps down below grade so you can replant or reclaim the space. On windbreak cleanup jobs, we work methodically through the line of trees, removing deadwood and hazardous limbs, and hauling everything away.

When the job is done, we leave your property clean. We sweep up chips, haul off debris, and do a final walkthrough with you so you can see the work and ask questions. No surprises, no mess left behind.

Tree removal in Ault typically starts at a free estimate because the cost depends entirely on the tree: its size, species, health, how close it is to structures or power lines, and how much debris we're hauling away. A small dead elm might run $500 to $1,200. A large cottonwood or a cluster of junipers can be several thousand. Tree trimming and pruning start at $250 for smaller jobs and scale up with the size and complexity of the work. Stump grinding runs from $150 depending on stump size and soil conditions. Emergency storm work is available, and we charge based on the scope of what needs to come down or be cleared. The best way to know what your specific job costs is to call us at (970) 666-6628 for a free on-site estimate. We'll walk your property, ask the right questions, and give you a straight answer on price and timeline.

What's the deal with the old elms and cottonwoods on Ault properties, and when should I have them trimmed or removed?

Those big elms and cottonwoods are part of Ault's character, but they need regular deadwooding to stay safe. Emerald ash borer has been moving through the region, and stressed trees are more prone to branch failure in our heavy spring snows and Chinook winds. If you see dead limbs hanging over your roof, driveway, or power lines, or if a tree looks hollow or heavily damaged, call us for an assessment. Sometimes a tree just needs good pruning and care. Sometimes removal is the right call. We can help you figure out which.

My property in Ault has wind damage after a big storm. What do I do right now?

Call us immediately at (970) 666-6628. We offer emergency tree service and can often get to storm damage the same day or next morning, depending on the scope and how many calls we're handling. If a tree is down across your driveway or a limb is hanging over your roof or power lines, we treat it as urgent. We'll clear the hazard safely, haul debris, and make your property secure again.

I have a big stump in my yard in Ault. How much does stump grinding cost?

Stump grinding starts at $150, but the final cost depends on the stump's diameter, how deep the roots go, and what's around it. A small stump might be $150 to $300. A large one, especially if it's a cottonwood or elm with a deep root system in Ault's heavy clay, could run $400 to $800 or more. Call us at (970) 666-6628 for a free estimate. We'll look at the stump and give you an exact price.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property in Ault?

Tree removal permits depend on the city or county jurisdiction where your property sits within the Ault area. Some jurisdictions require permits for trees above a certain diameter, and some have protected tree ordinances that limit what you can remove. We know the local rules and can advise you during our free estimate. If a permit is needed, we can help coordinate that process. It's always better to ask before you cut.

My neighbor's tree has branches hanging over my fence and driveway. What are my options?

Property line rules say your neighbor owns the tree, but you have the right to trim branches that cross your property line, as long as you don't harm the tree's health or structure. Before you grab a chainsaw, talk to your neighbor. Most disputes settle with a conversation. If you want us to handle the trimming safely and professionally, we can do that. We can also help you document the issue if there's ongoing conflict. Call (970) 666-6628 to discuss your situation.

Are you fully insured for tree work at my Ault property?

Yes. Every crew member is covered, and your property is protected. When you hire Fort Collins Tree Service, you're working with a professional operation that carries the right insurance and has the credentials to do the job safely and legally.

What's the best time of year to have trees trimmed or removed in Ault?

Late fall and winter are ideal for most tree work in our area. Trees are dormant, and the risk of disease spread is lower. Spring and summer work is fine too, but avoid heavy pruning during extreme heat or drought stress. If you have storm damage or a hazardous dead limb, don't wait for the season. Call us right away at (970) 666-6628. For routine maintenance like windbreak cleanup or deadwooding, we can schedule you during our slower season and often give you better availability.
