Forestry and Arboriculture with Integrity

Services

Tree Pruning

We at alpine arborist are trained and educated in the most current pruning techniques and industry standards. This means that your trees will receive the care needed based on species specific needs and current vigor in order to promote long term health and structural integrity as well as aesthetics.

Technical Tree Removal

In the event that a tree needs to be removed and particularly in close proximity to a house or other structure, it is very important to hire someone with the capabilities of bringing it down in a safe and controlled manner. We at alpine arborist have extensive experience in climbing and technical rigging which enables us to bring a tree down in close quarters in a safe and calculated manner.

Cabling and Bracing

Cabling and Bracing are two different techniques used to help preserve the structural integrity of trees that have hazardous growth defects such as co-dominant trunks with included bark at the trunk junction. This condition can make the tree suseptable to failure especially in high winds or snow load. Not all trees with this condition are candidates for cabling or bracing, but a comprehensive assessment of the tree will determine its viability.

We at alpine arborist are proud to offer experienced installation of Cobra Dynamic Tree Cabling Systems. This is a state of the art cabling system that provides a compromised tree the necessary structural support without the negative aspects of steel cable. For more information on this system please request a site visit.

Forest Management

Forest management is a large part of the services we provide at alpine arborist. This category of service encompasses fire mitigation and defensible space, beetle kill restoration, clearing for construction, thinning and forest cleanup. We are capable of working large land plats with difficult access with minimal impact to the land.

Recreation

Being located in one of the premier recreation areas in the country provides us an opportunity to take our knowledge of the natural resources we have here and offer a truly extraordinary service to businesses and individuals looking for a unique and exciting recreational experience.
We are very excited to offer recreational suspended tree courses and zip-lines. With the help and influence of a prestigious tree course builder in Europe we are able to bring to you the most advanced, dynamic recreation opportunity available in the US using the natural forest. These courses can be as basic as a zip-line or can be a full scale, multiple element tree top course designed to test your agility and confidence.
The courses are 100% non invasive to the forest allowing the trees to move and grow without the use of screws or other penetrating hardware. Call the office to schedule a site visit and consultation.
