The dreaded Emerald Ash Borer has made its presence known in our lovely city, Fort Collins. It has been here, but we are noticing the destructive reality of EAB in Ash trees around town more this summer. If you have Ash trees you’d like to keep, they will need treatment. We do not provide that service but can make a recommendation. If you think your tree may need to be removed or it just needs to be pruned, we do provide that service. Call 970-372-2237 or submit a request here for a free local estimate.
We love our Ash trees.
The snow we’ve had was so heavy, causing damage all over town. We are a very small operation, but do have a wait list for anyone with storm-damaged trees. We do not expect to be able to do much until the snow is gone, as it is blocking the trees, and from there, we’ll just start working our way through the list.
If you’d like to be added to our wait list, feel free to contact us through our website (contact form on the main page), or call 970-372-2237.
It’s Earth Day and a wonderful reminder that our planet is an incredible gift! Don’t forget to take a moment and appreciate our big blue home!
“And see the peaceful trees extend their myriad leaves in leisured dance—they bear the weight of sky and cloud upon the fountain of their veins.” – Kathleen Raine
This is a bit of a long message, but with the Stay At Home order for Larimer County, we have had some questions about whether we’re still operating. We did receive word from the city of Fort Collins that arborist work does fall under essential services, and licensed arborists with current licenses are able to continue working.
Safety is always top of mind for us, and we are certainly maintaining those standards as they pertain to this virus. When we do have contact with customers, we are keeping a distance of six feet, although interaction with customers is often limited, anyway, due to the nature of our work. We are practicing hand washing and sanitizing, and are a small operation, so there is no risk of employees infecting one another.
If we feel any symptoms, we will indeed stay home, and reschedule any work. If any customers feel more comfortable staying inside while Matt is onsite, we understand and are happy to ask or answer any questions over the phone while he is working.
Under normal circumstances, we practice safety and want to serve our customers and their trees to the very best of our ability, and so it is under these different and difficult circumstances – we are fully committed to caring for our community and doing our part to prevent infection.
If you’re at home and noticing your trees need some attention, or have any trees you’re concerned about, we’re here to help.
Are those winter winds making your trees lose branches and causing you anxiety? Call J&B Tree Care today to schedule a free estimate to either get those trees trimmed up and more winter-ready, or remove that dangerous tree.
If you have small trees, remember to help them through these fall snow storms by shaking them off!
Remember, trees in Colorado need lots of love and help to thrive here! Be sure to get them checked out by a professional who will be able to spot any areas of concern, and prune your trees correctly in order to ensure they are healthy, more ready to face inclement weather, and look beautiful, too!
Last call for dormant pruning! We are booking further ahead than we ever have before, but we’ve set aside a few dates for dormant pruning. If you have Crabapple, Apple, Peach, Apricot, Hawthorn, American Elm, or Mountain Ash trees that need to be pruned, give us a call! 970-372-2237
Once these types of trees bloom out, it’s too late to prune them for the season.
We have a ground person position available. Duties would include, but are not limited to: dragging and disposing of brush/branches, operating the chipper, and running ropes for the climber.
We are a small family company, so there is lots of room to grow with us. We would set goals for the position with the employee, and conduct periodic reviews to adjust the position as needed and evaluate pay rates.
Experience is not required – we can teach you what you need to know, and if there is desire to learn more and move into a different position longer term, we’d be happy to cultivate that!
We’d love to welcome an honest, reliable person to our team!
If interested, please call Kayla at 970-372-2237.
