A homeowner in Denver, CO, noticed a large elm tree with dense, heavy limbs throughout the canopy and was worried that weak branches could break during spring storms, so they called Bear Creek Tree Service for professional tree trimming and pruning services.
Details From the Denver, CO, Tree Trimming and Pruning Project

- Type of Service: Tree trimming and pruning
- Duration: Two hours
- Service Frequency: One-time project

- Client Preferences: Clients requested extensive pruning of a large, mature elm tree that had become overgrown, with heavy limbs extending throughout the canopy. Because of the tree’s height and complex branching structure, the Bear Creek Tree Service crew carefully climbed and rigged each section while strategically removing deadwood and overextended branches to improve the tree’s safety and overall health. Extra care was taken throughout the trimming process to protect the surrounding yard and nearby property from falling debris.
- Tree Type: Elm tree
Planning Around the Complex Branch Structure
The certified arborists at Bear Creek Tree Service inspected the elm tree and identified several large limbs growing through crowded sections of the canopy. The crew planned a climbing route that gave them safe access to the upper canopy without forcing climbers through tight branch junctions.
The crew also identified limbs that needed structural pruning to reduce excess weight. Several dead sections sat high above the yard, so the crew planned controlled cuts to keep branches from falling into the property below.
How Bear Creek Tree Service Successfully Protected the Denver, CO, Property With Tree Trimming and Pruning Services
The crew started by climbing into the elm tree and removing smaller overextended limbs to open the upper canopy. Ground workers cleared branches as they came down to prevent debris from blocking the work area.
Bear Creek Tree Service then completed deadwood removal to take care of weak branches before spring storms could break them loose. The crew also used crown thinning in crowded sections to reduce weight and improve airflow through the canopy.
After reducing the heavier growth, the crew completed canopy shaping to improve clearance and balance. The trimming work also reduced the need for long-term tree health maintenance because the overloaded limbs no longer created excess weight against the trunk and surrounding branches.
