Denver Tree Services
GOOD PEOPLE TREE SERVICE is equipped to handle any size project. Our work in Denver and urban forestry settings has predominantly entailed large removals and large scale pruning projects for HOA’s, construction companies and homeowners throughout the Denver Metro Area.
We had an excellent experience with GOOD PEOPLE TREE SERVICE! They did a fantastic job handling the tree trimming and improvements at our site. Their team was professional, efficient, and meticulous in their work. Not only did they exceed our expectations with the quality of their service, but they also provided a great rate. A special shoutout to Vitek, the project manager, for his excellent communication and attention to detail—he made the entire process smooth and hassle-free. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and their expertise really shows. We highly recommend GOOD PEOPLE TREE SERVICE to anyone in need of reliable and skilled tree care!

Our View on Emerald Ash Borer Beetle (EAB):
Emerald Ash Borer is an invasive beetle from Asia, introduced by humans, that is killing ash trees native to the Americas. The industry standard for management of EAB is to inject all ash trees bi-annually with pesticides. These pesticides are known to be highly toxic to pollinators and aquatic life. This approach leads us to examine the implications of reacting with fear instead of accountability. We truly love the trees and from this place of love and integrity, we must ask ourselves if it is morally conscientious to use pesticides to preemptively control insect infestations, especially those caused by human negligence. While EAB is likely to be fatal to the trees it infests, we have observed well-cared for trees showing more resistance to infestation. Would it be reasonable to allow nature to take its course and the potential for evolution to play out in real time?
We recommend that our customers refrain from injecting their ash trees.
Instead, we suggest the following steps:
Prune the infested ash tree, take pictures post-pruning, use photos to accurately monitor the tree’s health, closely observe the upper canopy watching for dieback in the upper one third of the tree, and call us if any dieback is observed post-pruning. If dieback is occurring, we will come back and climb your tree to inspect for EAB for free. If we find evidence of EAB, we can discuss doing an injection at that time. We also recommend customers take the initiative to plant more trees, ideally a variety of species.
