Do you do insurance-required fire mitigation?

Yes. We build defensible space to local wildfire guidance and can document what was removed for your carrier.

Can you work on a steep foothills lot?

Yes. Slope rigging and hand-carry removals are standard for west-side properties.

How far from the house should trees be thinned?

We prioritize the first 30 feet, then thin outward through the next zones as budget allows.

What makes Mountain Shadows trees different

Local conditions decide how trees fail here. These are the patterns our crews see most often in Mountain Shadows.

Gambel oak thickets that carry fire uphill into homes.
Ponderosa and pinyon growing tight against decks, eaves, and fences.
Steep, rocky lots that require slope rigging and hand-carry access.
Insurance-driven defensible-space work with documentation on request.
Wind-loaded pines along the ridgelines above Garden of the Gods.
Chipping and haul-off so cut fuel never sits on the property.
