Free Tree Service Estimate — Written, No Obligation
Get a free written estimate from ISA Member Arborist Eric Petruska. Eric visits your property personally, assesses every tree, and gives you a clear written quote — scope of work, price, timeline. No pressure, no upselling, no surprises.
What Does a Free Tree Service Estimate Include?
A free estimate from Tree Service Denver LLC includes an on-site inspection of your trees by an ISA member arborist, an honest recommendation (including “this tree doesn’t need work” when that’s true), and a written, itemized quote covering labor, equipment, debris removal, and cleanup — with no hidden line items and no obligation. Estimates are free across Denver and all 20+ metro-area communities we serve, and emergency assessments are available same-day, 24/7.
What a Free Estimate Includes
Eric personally visits your property — not a salesperson, not an estimator. The same ISA member arborist who will oversee your job assesses it first.
Eric evaluates tree health, structural risk, access constraints, and the right approach. If a tree doesn’t need to come down, he’ll tell you that.
You receive a written estimate documenting exactly what work will be done, what’s included (debris removal, stump grinding, cleanup), and the final price. No verbal quotes.
Take the estimate, compare it, think about it. We don’t follow up with sales calls. When you’re ready, call (720) 807-2785 and we’ll schedule your job.

Estimate FAQs
Is the estimate really free — no hidden fees?
100% free. Eric visits, assesses, and gives you a written quote at no charge. No trip fee, no assessment fee, no obligation to proceed. The estimate is yours to keep.
How soon can you come out for an estimate?
Most estimates are scheduled same-day or next morning. Call (720) 807-2785 before noon and Eric can usually visit that afternoon. Emergency assessments are same-day guaranteed.
Will the price change after the estimate?
No. The written estimate is the price. Tree Service Denver LLC does not add mid-job charges or surprise fees. The only exception is if the scope changes at your request — and that’s discussed and agreed in writing before proceeding.
Do you match competitor quotes?
We provide honest, fair pricing based on what the job actually requires. We don’t race to the bottom, but we won’t be beaten on value — ISA membership, $1M insurance, written estimates, and zero-damage guarantee included on every job.

How Our Pricing Actually Works
Tree work is priced on four things: size (height, trunk diameter, canopy spread), condition (dead and decayed trees are less predictable and take more rigging), access (a backyard tree over a fence costs more than a front-yard tree with truck access), and risk (proximity to your home, power lines, or a neighbor’s property). That’s why honest companies quote in person rather than over the phone. As a Denver reference: trimming typically runs $300–$1,200, removal $400–$2,500+, and stump grinding $100–$400 per stump. Our full cost guide breaks down every factor.
The No-Pressure Policy
The estimate visit is a diagnosis, not a sales call. Eric or a senior team member will tell you when pruning or cabling can save a tree another company quoted for removal, when a “hazard” is actually stable, and when a tree genuinely needs to come down before it chooses its own moment. The quote is good for 30 days, you’ll never be asked to sign on the spot, and comparing us against other bids is encouraged — just make sure every bid includes proof of insurance and cleanup, or it isn’t a comparable bid.
Emergency & Insurance Estimates
For storm damage, our 24/7 emergency line gets an arborist out same-day to stabilize the situation and document everything. If you’re filing a homeowners insurance claim, we provide the itemized invoice and photos adjusters ask for, and we can walk you through what policies typically cover (removal off a structure usually is; preventive removal usually isn’t). Wondering whether your tree qualifies as a hazard? Start with the warning signs, then call (720) 807-2785.
How to Compare Tree Service Bids Like a Pro
Three bids for the same tree can vary by $1,000+, and the cheapest is often the most expensive mistake. Compare on these five lines: (1) insurance — ask for the certificate; an uninsured bid transfers the risk to your homeowner’s policy; (2) who assessed it — a ISA member arborist’s scope, or a guy pricing from the truck; (3) what’s included — debris hauling, cleanup, and stump grinding are line items some bids quietly omit; (4) standards — ANSI A300 pruning or unlabeled “trimming” that may mean topping; (5) the paper — a written itemized quote versus a number in a text message. Our credentials page shows exactly what to verify, on us or anyone else.
Three Estimate Myths That Cost Denver Homeowners Money
Myth 1: phone quotes save time. A price given without seeing the tree is a price that changes on job day. Access, decay, and utility proximity can’t be assessed over the phone — which is why our quotes are in-person and then don’t change. Myth 2: the low bid is the cheap option. The low bid usually omits hauling, cleanup, or the stump, or comes from a crew whose missing insurance becomes your liability. Myth 3: every company recommends what the tree needs. Commission-paid estimators sell removals; ISA member arborists diagnose. It’s why our estimates regularly save trees other bids condemned — and why the reviews keep mentioning it.
The pattern under all three myths is the same: information asymmetry. The homeowner sees a tree; the professional sees species, lean, decay, load paths, and access constraints. A real estimate transfers that knowledge to you in writing, for free — which is exactly why companies that profit from the asymmetry avoid providing one.
Your Estimate at a Glance
- Cost: Free — visit, assessment, and written quote, no obligation
- Who performs it: An ISA member arborist, on every single estimate
- Turnaround: Scheduled in 2–3 business days; same-day for emergencies
- Format: Written and itemized: labor, equipment, hauling, cleanup, stump options
- Validity: Quoted price holds for 30 days
- Pressure: None — no on-the-spot signing, comparisons encouraged
The estimate is also where most money is saved: correct diagnosis routinely turns a quoted removal into a prune or a cabling job at a fraction of the cost, and correct scoping means the price you approve is the price you pay.
And if you take one thing from this page: never let anyone start cutting on the strength of a verbal number. The written estimate exists to protect you — it fixes the scope, the price, and the responsibilities before a single branch moves, and it’s the document that makes every guarantee on this website enforceable rather than aspirational. Ours is free; insist on the same from anyone else you invite onto your property.
