Good People Tree Service Monthly Newsletter Vol.1• March 3, 2026
Hello from the Good People Tree Service Team! We hope 2026 is a fantastic year for everyone.
We want to offer our readers a homeowners’ checklist to help preliminarily determine if a tree may be prone to failure. We have put together a guide for home use which can be accessed here.
As the Spring Solstice approaches, we can’t help but comment on what a mild and windy winter we have been having. The windstorm in December wreaked havoc throughout the Front Range. Failing trees and blowovers caused quite a mess, we are still in the midst of helping homeowners deal with downed trees.
Kebler Pass, between Paonia and Crested Butte is Colorado’s largest aspen grove. Some scientists believe it is the world’s largest living organism.
Tree Trivia
So many trees, so much to learn.
The quaking aspen, or Populus tremuloides: every aspen tree in a stand is often connected by the same root system. A single aspen tree typically lives 20-70 years, in ideal conditions up to 150 years, however a root system can be hundreds to even thousands of years old. If an individual tree trunk is killed by disease or fire, it creates a stress response in the root system causing buds to form and an increased growth rate. This allows aspen tree stands to recover quickly after a fire.

“I joined Good People, fall of ‘24, ready for new skills and awareness. It’s been a great time, I feel like I found a group of people that can actually work, and truly good humans as a collective to have by one’s side. I’ve traveled with carnivals, worked as a laborer for a masonry crew in NC, and lived the dirtbag climber life out of my Prius with two other friends. I’m glad to have settled down here. My name is Zachary Nix, and I’m just happy to help.”
Customer Testimonial:
“I am absolutely blown away by the quality of work from the team at Good People Tree Service. Really, they offered an extremely fair and transparent quote and went above and beyond in every aspect!
I had two 50 to 60-foot Cottonwoods removed from my home in Longmont, and I was nervous about the logistics of how I would be having that much mass swinging over my house, but the team showed up and efficiently and carefully removed both trees in a few hours – honestly, it was amazing watching them work as they were coordinated, efficient, and clearly experts at their craft and while it is a mind-boggling project to me, it was just another Tuesday to them.
If you’re looking for a team that treats your property with respect and handles complex removals with ease, I can’t recommend Good People Tree Service enough!”
