“A huge dead cottonwood was leaning over our garage. Timberline brought a crane, dropped it piece by piece without touching a thing, and raked the yard cleaner than they found it. Pros.”
Greg T.Boulder
“We needed defensible space done to meet the fire district's requirements. They walked the property, explained the zones, and did exactly what they said — and the quote was fair. Highly recommend.”
Marisol R.Louisville
“A spring storm dropped a limb across our driveway at 10pm. I called, they came that night, cleared it, and came back to grind the stump. Couldn't ask for more.”
Dan K.Longmont
