Real reviews from Brighton, Northglenn, Arvada, and across the Front Range.
We had a 45–50 ft tall evergreen tree in our front yard that was starting to lean and needed to be removed. They were able to remove the tree and grind the stump within the same week for a reasonable price.
Shawn and his crew did an awesome job removing an aspen and a cottonwood from our property. The cottonwood was over 40 feet tall and in an awkward location but they got it out without any property damage.
They took out 2 very old very tall cottonwoods in our backyard. Each about 75 ft tall and 6 ft across at their bases. This company went over and above the call of duty. Great company!
I had an emergency tree situation at my home in Northglenn. I called them late at night, and to my surprise, they answered immediately. Shawn and his team arrived at my property in no time.
We called just before noon and in less than 24 hours, our tree and stump were removed. This has to be the most organized and efficient company we have EVER dealt with.
So impressed with Creative Tree & Stump. Scheduling straightforward, communication clear & reliable. Work done safely, skillfully, with great care of surrounding property. Very satisfied Arvada customer!
