Sometimes a tree needs to be removed - for safety, fire mitigation, view enhancement or other reasons. We specialize in safely taking down trees in any location, including tight or difficult to reach places. A wide range of insect pests and diseases are always present in the Colorado forest. All of these need proper diagnosis and the right treatment to prevent tree damage, disfigurement and even death. We provide tree care consultations, noxious weed removal, firewood and mulch, holiday lighting, winter snow removal and more.
We're Ryan and Maddy Reed, owners of LAM Tree Service. We're long-time Evergreen residents (we grew up here and have known some of our customers our whole lives) and love this gorgeous part of the state. Our goal is to keep your trees and landscape healthy, safe and beautiful so we can all continue to enjoy this special place for years to come. LAM Tree Service has been providing local customers with reliable, professional tree service for 41 years. We're staffed with highly trained personnel, including ISA Certified Arborists and Colorado Dept. of Agriculture licensed pesticide applicators so we can provide expert consultation and service for all of your tree care needs.
Additional delivery fees of $4.00/mile apply to deliveries over 15 (road) miles round trip from the LAM Tree Service yard. Multi-cord discounts may require multiple trips, depending on size of order and access at dump site. We deliver firewood year round. Depending on the time of year, deliveries usually run 7 to 10 days out from time of order. Don't buy firewood sold by the truckload, face cord, rick, fireplace cord or pile. Those aren't standard measures and can vary significantly between sellers, making it impossible for you to determine whether or not you're getting a fair deal.
What better way to create a welcoming appearance at your front door. LAM Tree's design team will create a custom holiday lighting package for your business, community or home. With an inviting sculpted design that is properly installed to withstand wind and winter elements, you can focus on guests and family during the holidays. We'll install, maintain, remove and store the holiday lighting package with a replacement guarantee. The busiest season for us is undoubtedly summer and fall, but if you didn't have a chance to get some of your tree work done, you don't need to stress.
Pruning involves carefully removing dead, damaged, diseased or otherwise unwanted tree branches. Proper pruning of trees adds to their aesthetic value, improves their strength and maintains their safety. Plus, a well-pruned tree can also increase your property value when it's time to sell. It's important that pruning be done properly - improper pruning can cause irreparable damage, create hazards for your and your family and even shorten a tree's life. There are various methods for tree pruning and trimming.
It's normal for you to have questions about tree work that will be done on your property - we get a ton of questions every week! So we've put together answers for some of the questions we get most often. And if you have a question that's not answered here, please give us a call - we're always happy to talk with you. As professional arborists, we have a minimum of three years experience in some aspect of tree care and have passed an exam developed by an international panel of experts. The exam extensively covers every aspect of tree care and requires that we have an acceptable level of knowledge in all areas of arboriculture.
At LAM Tree Service we have 4 ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) Certified Arborists on staff. If you have a tree problem of any kind we are available to provide an expert diagnosis. Even if there is no current problem, it is often wise to have your property checked by a certified arborist at a reasonable hourly rate. This can educate you about your trees and prevent any future problems. We can install evergreens up to 15 feet tall and deciduous trees up to 20 feet tall in most locations.
We had Lam Tree trim two very large trees. They look beautiful and we feel much better that the dead branches are cleared away!

Identified by the "bristles" on the cones, white flakes on needles, and the twisty overall shape of the tree, Rocky Mountain bristlecone pines are rare but can live for hundreds of years in windy, dry, rocky locations. Learn more about these ancient trees, and whether they would make a good addition.
White fir may be known as a type of Christmas tree, but it is also a popular urban and landscape tree and is important for many types of animals. Learn more about this tall, pyramidal, native evergreen tree at the link below!
Did you know? Lodgepole pines can be difficult to identify because they tend to mimic other trees growing near them.
Scrub oaks, also called Gambel oaks, can be grown as small trees or shrubs. Their small, compact size helps them to survive our harsh Colorado winters. Learn more about this tree on our website!
