About Dark Timber
Dedicated to safe, professional tree care for Western Colorado communities.
Your Local Tree Care Professionals
Dark Timber Tree and Forestry was founded with a simple mission: provide Western Colorado with honest, reliable tree services backed by real expertise. Based in De Beque, we're not a big corporate outfit - we're your neighbors, and we treat every job like it's in our own backyard.
Our team brings years of hands-on experience working with Colorado's diverse landscape. From towering cottonwoods in river valleys to mountain pines at elevation, we understand the unique challenges our local trees face - including drought stress, beetle damage, and storm impacts.
We've invested in professional-grade equipment, including bucket trucks, stump grinders, and wood chippers, so we can handle jobs of any size safely and efficiently. Whether you need a single tree trimmed or an entire property cleared, we have the tools and know-how to get it done right.
Low Impact Equipment
Unlike large tree service companies that roll in with heavy trucks and machinery that tear up your lawn, we specialize in compact, low-impact equipment designed to get the job done while protecting your property.
