Windsor sits on the rolling plains just north of Fort Collins, where the Poudre River winds through lakeside neighborhoods and newer subdivisions lined with young street trees alongside towering old cottonwoods. Our team at Fort Collins Tree Service knows this landscape intimately, and we're here to help Windsor homeowners (80550) keep their trees healthy, safe, and looking their best.
Whether you're dealing with a storm-damaged limb hanging over your roof, a young tree that needs structural pruning, or a hazardous cottonwood that's shedding branches in the wind, we've got the expertise and equipment to handle it. We serve Windsor and the surrounding Fort Collins area with the same care and professionalism our neighbors have trusted for years.
Tree Service in Windsor (80550)
Windsor's tree canopy tells the story of the Front Range. Lakeside neighborhoods and the new subdivisions spreading toward Harmony Road feature young ornamental trees and street trees still finding their footing in our alkaline clay soil. Along the Poudre corridor and the irrigation ditches, massive plains cottonwoods, willows, and Russian olives tower over properties, creating shade and character but also presenting real hazard challenges. Older established trees in Windsor's tree-lined streets include green ash, silver maples, elms, and honeylocusts, many of which are now under pressure from emerald ash borer, iron chlorosis in our heavy soil, and the stress of our dry, windy summers.
We see young trees that need structural pruning to develop strong branch angles and single leaders, and mature cottonwoods that require careful hazard reduction to protect homes, fences, and power lines. We also work with homeowners on defensible-space pruning, stump grinding after removal, and emergency response when spring snow loading, hail, or Chinook winds bring limbs down onto structures.

How a Job Works in Windsor
We start with a free on-site assessment. When you call us at (970) 666-6628, we schedule a time to visit your property, examine the tree or trees in question, understand what you're trying to accomplish, and talk through the best approach. We'll discuss access to your lot, proximity to power lines or structures, any HOA considerations, and the condition of the tree itself. Then we give you a clear, honest estimate with no surprises.
Once you approve the work, our crew arrives with the right equipment for the job. Whether we're removing a tree, pruning limbs back from your roof, grinding a stump, or clearing land, we work safely and efficiently. We're mindful of your neighbors, your property lines, and tight lot access common in Windsor's newer subdivisions. We coordinate with power companies if needed and respect any HOA rules for visible work.
When the work is done, we clean up thoroughly. We haul debris, chip brush if you want mulch, and leave your property looking better than when we arrived. We walk through the job with you and answer any questions about aftercare or follow-up pruning.
Tree removal in Windsor typically starts at a free estimate because cost depends on tree size, species, location, and access. A medium-sized ash or elm removal might run $800 to $2,500; a large cottonwood could be $2,500 to $5,000 or more. Tree trimming and pruning start at $250 for smaller jobs and scale up based on tree height, branch diameter, and complexity. Stump grinding runs from $150 for small stumps to $400 to $800 for larger ones, depending on stump diameter and root depth in our clay soil. Hedge trimming and shrub care start at $45. If you need an arborist consultation to assess tree health, structural issues, or pest damage, we charge $95 for that expertise. Land clearing is priced per job. Call us at (970) 666-6628 for a free estimate tailored to your property and your needs.
