How we run beetle-kill tree removal jobs in Broadmoor
Four steps, every time — assessment, protection, controlled work, and complete cleanup before we leave Broadmoor.
- 01
Confirm the infestation
We check for pitch tubes, galleries under the bark, and boring dust so you are not paying to remove a tree that can be saved.
- 02
Prioritize by risk
Dead trees near the house, the drive, or the power drop come out first; back-of-lot trees are scheduled next.
- 03
Remove and reduce spread
Infested wood is removed promptly so emerging beetles do not move into the healthy pines next to it.
- 04
Haul, chip, or mill
Trunks and slash are disposed of safely — beetle pines have to be removed completely so we don't spread the infestation to healthy trees nearby.
