Donovan Arborists is an owner/operator business. I am a Certified Arborist and licensed with the Colorado Department of Agriculture. As the customer, you deal with the owner through the whole process. I like to meet with first time customers to discuss your needs and then help you develop a plan.

"Got a quick response for an estimate and got the work scheduled within a couple of weeks (which was great considering how busy the spring is for tree work). The only issue we had was with the arrival time of the guys doing the work...I had been told they would arrive in the morning and had to call and find out where they were. They ended up going to another job before ours and came in the afternoon instead. Not a huge deal, since I was home all day, but it would have been an issue if I'd taken just half a day off work and expected them in the morning. When I called the scheduler I talked to was very apologetic. The trees we were having cut down came down quickly and they even removed some dead branches we had on the side of the house. The tree trimming and deep root fertilization has left us with a very happy looking tree. Overall we were very happy with Donovan Arborists and would use them again."

FAQs for tree service projects in Golden, CO

You might remove a tree for free if it’s small, easy to reach, and your city doesn’t require a permit. Call the planning or public works office first to be sure. If they give you the green light, follow all safety rules, wear protective gear, and ask a friend to spot you. When in doubt—or if the tree is tall—hire a pro instead.

In many cities, you’ll need a permit—sometimes even an arborist’s report—before cutting down a tree. Start by calling your local building or planning department. They’ll tell you whether the tree is protected, how big it can be before a permit kicks in, and whether the work has to be done by a licensed pro. Get written approval before scheduling the job to stay on the right side of local rules.

It’s best to leave healthy trees alone—they add shade, boost curb appeal, and support wildlife. Take one down only if it’s dead, diseased beyond saving, or posing a real safety risk. Check local rules first; many areas protect heritage or street trees. 

When removal seems necessary, bring in a licensed arborist for an on-site assessment and written recommendation before you book the crew.

If you’re torn between trimming, pruning, or full removal, start with an honest health check. Trim to shape the canopy or encourage new growth. Prune when you spot broken or diseased branches that could spread trouble. 

Plan on removal only if the trunk is hollow, several major limbs are dead, storm damage is extensive, or the tree leans dangerously toward a structure.

A tree that’s 15 to 20 feet from your home isn’t automatically a problem. Healthy, small species often coexist just fine with houses. Trouble starts when the trunk shows decay, roots crack the foundation, or overhanging branches threaten the roof. Bring in a licensed arborist for a close look and written recommendation before you decide to remove or simply prune.

Timing hinges on size and complexity. A small tree might be gone in a few hours, a mid-sized one in half a day, and a giant could keep the crew busy for one to two full workdays. Add extra time if you’re grinding the stump, hauling wood, or navigating tight spaces near power lines or fences.
