Arborist Services

Hi neighbors—just a quick note from Fox Farm Road in the Ski Ranches today:
While we were working on a tree removal, a few of our tools went missing from the roadside:
– a pull line/climbing rope
– a throw line
– two throw bags
– and a Notch Throwline Pop Box

If someone picked them up by accident or thought they were free to take—no worries at all. We’d just really appreciate getting them back.

Thanks for supporting local small businesses and for being such a solid community. 🙏🌲

Shout-out to TELLURIDE Magazine—a stunning publication packed with powerful stories and imagery from our mountain community. We’re proud to be in its pages this season! 🌲📖

We placed our ad because we wanted folks to get to know us a little better—not just as a tree care company, but as your neighbors. As ISA Certified Arborists, we’re committed to preserving the landscapes we call home.⛰️

From wildfire mitigation and tree health to precision pruning and technical removals, we bring care, respect, and expertise to every project.🌟

We don’t just care for trees—we care for the community. When you call Telluride Arborist, you get Tyler & Natalie—your neighbors, your friends, and a dedicated crew who show up and genuinely love living here.😁

Our ad appears next to “The Future of the Forest” by Mason Osgood, a timely article exploring how climate change is impacting local forests. It features research by Dr. Jason Sibold, professor of geography at Colorado State University, who is using AI models and recent aerial imagery of the Bear Creek forest to track tree mortality. His findings offer important insights that could help guide how we care for our forests in the years ahead.🌱

It’s a powerful reminder that tree care is about so much more than trimming branches—it’s about long-term stewardship of the forests and environments we live in. In Telluride, the mountains shape us, and the trees define us. We’re honored to help care for this place we call home.🌎💚🌳

Did you see us on the front page of this Sunday’s Telluride Daily Planet? 🌲💚 Telluride Arborist made the “Don’t Quote Me But” section, and we meant what we said—we’re here for the trees.

For us, it’s never been about the bottom line. It’s about being part of this community, protecting the trees that give our mountains their character, and ensuring the landscape we love thrives for generations to come.

We’ve been doing this for a long time—and we’ll keep showing up because, at Telluride Arborist, it’s always been about more than just the work. It’s about the place we call home.
