Evans sits in the flat South Platte River valley just north of Fort Collins, and the big cottonwoods, Siberian elms, and ash trees that line the older neighborhoods near the river are both a blessing and a hazard. When those mature trees start to fail, drop limbs, or threaten your home, Fort Collins Tree Service has been the call for property owners across Evans (80620) and the surrounding area for years.

We know Evans. We know the heavy alkaline clay that stresses your maples, the cottonwoods that shed branches in spring wind, and the ash trees that are now dying from emerald ash borer.

Tree Service in Evans (80620)

Evans' older neighborhoods near the South Platte hold some of the biggest and most valuable trees in the region. Mature cottonwoods, Siberian elms, green ash, and silver maples shade the historic homes and properties that define the character of the area. But age and stress bring problems. The emerald ash borer, now established throughout Larimer County, is killing ash trees across Evans. Iron chlorosis yellows the leaves of maples growing in our heavy alkaline clay. Spring and fall snows laden with wet snow snap branches off trees still in leaf. Chinook winds and hail storms bring limbs down onto roofs, fences, and power lines.

Our team has handled hundreds of jobs in Evans and the Fort Collins area. We understand which trees are worth saving and which ones are hazards. We know how to work safely around the irrigation ditches and power lines that run through many properties.

How a Job Works in Evans

You call us at (970) 666-6628 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site visit to assess the tree, the terrain, access to your property, and what you want done. We look at the tree's health, size, species, and proximity to your home, power lines, and neighbors' property. We talk through your options and give you a clear, honest estimate with no surprises.

Once you approve, we show up with the right equipment and crew. We fell the tree safely, cut it into manageable pieces, and remove the debris from your yard. If the lot is tight or access is limited (common in Evans' older neighborhoods), we plan the work carefully to protect your fence, driveway, and landscaping. We handle any coordination with your HOA if needed.

When the work is done, we haul away the brush and chips, grind the stump if you've requested it, and leave your property clean and ready. You walk the site with us to make sure everything meets your expectations.

A typical tree removal in Evans ranges from $800 to $3,500 or more, depending on the size and species of the tree, how close it is to your house or power lines, and how easy access is to your lot. A big cottonwood or elm near a structure costs more than a smaller tree in an open yard. Stump grinding runs from $150 to $400 per stump. Tree trimming and pruning start at $250 and scale with the number of trees and the amount of deadwood. Land clearing and hazard tree work are priced on-site because every property is different. The best way to know what a job will cost is to call us at (970) 666-6628 for a free estimate. We'll come out, look at what you need, and give you a real price with no obligation.

I have a big Siberian elm in my yard that's dropping branches every spring. Should I have it removed or can it be saved?

Siberian elms are tough trees and often worth keeping if they're healthy. We can prune out the dead wood, thin the canopy to reduce wind load, and improve the tree's structure so it sheds fewer limbs. But if the elm is old, has deep cracks in the trunk, or is leaning badly, removal might be the safer choice. We'll assess it in person and give you an honest recommendation.

A big branch from my neighbor's cottonwood hangs over my roof. What are my options?

You have the right to trim branches that cross your property line, but it's always better to talk to your neighbor first. If they're willing to have it pruned, great. If not, you can hire us to do the work on your side of the line. Just make sure you don't cut into the neighbor's tree beyond the property line. If the branch is a genuine hazard, document it and consider a friendly conversation or a certified letter. We can help with the trimming once it's clear who's responsible.

What does a tree removal typically cost in Evans?

Most removals in Evans run $800 to $3,500 depending on tree size, species, location, and site access. A smaller ash or maple in an open yard might be $1,000 to $1,500. A large cottonwood near your house or power lines could be $2,500 to $4,000 or more. The only way to know for sure is a free on-site estimate. Call us at (970) 666-6628.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Evans?

Evans and Fort Collins both have tree ordinances. Generally, you need a permit for trees above a certain diameter (usually 6 inches DBH or larger). Some species like oak and heritage trees have extra protection. Your HOA may also have rules about visible removals. We handle permit coordination as part of our service, so you don't have to figure it out alone. Ask us about it when you call for your estimate.

My HOA says I need approval before I remove a tree. How does that work?

Most HOAs require written approval for tree removal, especially if the tree is visible from the street or common areas. We can help you prepare photos and a written request to submit to your HOA. We've worked with dozens of HOAs in the Fort Collins area and know what they typically need to see. Once you have approval, we schedule the work. It usually takes a week or two to get HOA sign-off, so plan ahead if you're on a timeline.

Are you fully insured to work on my property?

Yes. We carry the insurance you need to protect your home and our crew. When you hire us, you're protected if anything goes wrong. Ask to see our certificate of insurance if you'd like proof.

I'm worried about emerald ash borer killing my ash trees. What should I do?

Emerald ash borer is now in Evans and Larimer County. If you have ash trees, you have a few options. You can have them removed before they die and become hazards. You can have them treated with insecticide (effective but ongoing cost). Or you can monitor them and remove them once they show signs of decline. We recommend getting a professional assessment. Call us at (970) 666-6628 and we'll look at your ash trees and talk through the best approach for your situation.
