Contract Tree Services

When hiring a tree service provider, you must ensure they are licensed in the City of Grand Junction. Licensed tree care providers (PDF) are insured and have shown the Grand Junction Forestry Board their proficiency in proper tree care. This ensures the safety of both homeowners and trees. 

Do you have a tree on private property that needs tree care?

Tree services and anyone pruning trees for hire must have a license to perform work within the City limits. Check out the current list of licensed tree care providers (PDF) in Grand Junction. 

Hiring a tree care provider for your right-of-way tree?

A public tree maintenance permit is required prior to pruning, removal, or treatment of any tree located on City property. Please fill out a permit request before hiring a tree care provider to perform work on City trees.
