Stellar service when it comes to a tricky and potentially dangerous business. We used the 2 years…read moreago for an emergency cleanup of a tree that broke in high wind and landed on an adjacent tree and damaged it. They did the immediate cleanup up and came back for the large removal project. It could not have gone better. Fast forward 2 years and we needed to remove our last 2 conifers for wildfire mitigation in a high risk neighborhood. I called them back as I feel they are the best arborists around. Locally owned and staffed. The set up for the project went well, the timing perfect for summer between the move out of last year's students and the arrival for the upcoming year. The house closest to the tree is the house next to ours which is student rental home for CU off campus housing. When they are between summer moves , there are fewer parking issues as well as not interfering with their lifestyle. The team came this morning m, right in time, having procured the no parking signs for such work and having the utilities locators done in advance. The work when exceeding well, removing the already broken spruce and the aging and badly place piñon pine, too close to our house. The team of arborists were amazing. I would certainly use them again if I could but I am out of trees that will ever need removals. Call this place first if you are ever in need. In Colorado, we are facing terrible wildfire risks and all communities will need evaluation. In this area, Blue River can't be beat.

The team at Langley were transparent and clear about how to best take care of our trees and revive them. It turns out we were overwatering the maples and it overwhelmed the tree systems. They were clear and transparent and didn't try to sell us anything for the sake of selling anything. I really appreciate them using their knowledge and transparency. Although they didn't have any services to provide us after the tree diagnosis, I know that we will be contacting them the next growing season for other tree questions we may have. Thanks Langley's!

Although this means we'll ultimately have to have a significant amount of the tree pruned, Langley's Tree Specialist went above and beyond to provide me with recommendations, including documentation that I could share with Code Enforcement, to postpone this until January, when the tree would be more able to handle the stress. Such a responsive company! More concerned about the health of the tree than getting the job out o the way and paid for (which I was 100% willing to do to avoid fines, etc.). Will definitely work with them in the future beyond the job scheduled for January.

James and his team recently completed a massive wildfire mitigation project on my property in…read moreGolden, removing 32 trees--including several huge ponderosas. They carefully cleared everything within Zones 1, 2, and 3 (up to 100 feet from the house), significantly reducing my fire risk.What stood out to me was their incredible work ethic. James worked tirelessly for several weeks. He and his crew are highly skilled, properly equipped, and incredibly professional. They took down a wide range of trees without a single accident or conflict, always maintaining excellent communication.Furthermore, they did a flawless job with the cleanup, ensuring all debris was completely removed. James is an honest gentleman, offered a fabulous price, and only took payment once the job was 100% complete. If you have a large-scale tree project or need wildfire mitigation, look no further.

Pricing issues Chris gave us an initial quote and was very confident, saying that other companies could be ripping us off by including extra work he claimed wasn't necessary. Once the job had already started, he changed his position and said the extra work might actually be needed. He then tried to charge us an additional amount that was higher than the price quoted by other companies we had contacted. Scheduling problems We never got a clear time for estimates or work. I constantly had to ask for an approximate arrival time. When he came on Friday, he worked for less than two hours and then stopped, saying he was "too tired" and would need to come back on Monday to finish. Unprofessional and aggressive communication When I followed up on Monday, Chris said he couldn't come as promised because he wanted to spend time with his kids. He said he could come Tuesday but "don't know when. maybe late afternoon." When I told him I was unhappy with that and the possible additional charges, the conversation escalated. He raised his voice, blamed me for "not letting him be with his kids," and kept yelling. I ended the call to stop the interaction. After that, he repeatedly called and sent a series of long, hostile text messages. In those messages, he called us "ungrateful," for him saving us and our tree, and criticized other tree companies, painting himself as the only one who can do the job. Most concerning, he sent a text saying he would come immediately to "undo" his work and that the tree would "fall and hit the house." Because of how serious that statement was, we told him we would contact the police and take legal action if he intentionally made the tree fall. Erratic behavior About 30 minutes after sending the angry messages and blocking my number, Chris showed up at our house acting like a completely different person. He apologized multiple times and even offered to finish all the work for free. We chose to pay the originally agreed-upon price just to end the situation and avoid further conflict. Sexist and dismissive behavior Chris was dismissive toward me when I asked questions. His tone was noticeably better when speaking to my husband. In one message, he said that hanging up the phone was "not adult-like" and specifically criticized me for "hanging up on men." Bottom line: This was an extremely stressful experience involving unclear pricing, constant schedule changes, aggressive communication, and statements that felt threatening. Chris said that even if we posted a negative review, he "doesn't care" because he is retiring in 2 years and he has enough clients who "love" him. We would not hire Chris again. If you care about clear estimates, reliability, professionalism, and being treated with respect, I recommend choosing another tree service company.
