The Knothead crew have helped me with a few tree trimmings this spring as well as tree limb removal from snow damage, even referring me to a stump grinder for a few dead bushes. They were respectful and efficient and actually showed up when they said they would! I would recommend their services ~ 5 stars!

Knothead Tree Care visited The Indian Park Schoolhouse and trimmed our huge old trees with care. They understood the need to trim the dead branches while still caring for the tree. They were fast, efficient, but most of all careful of the trees.

Greg, Garrett, and Alex from Knothead did really great work removing a large 40+ year-old foxtail pine that had succumbed to a faulty watering system and extreme drought conditions. They were remarkably efficient and cleaned up everything when the job was done. We will definitely use their services again--highly recommend.

I just had our trees sprayed for the second time, this company, and these people, Aaron and AJ, have saved my trees. We were told by another arborist that our trees were going to die, and there was nothing we could do about it. This company‘s arborist came out and told us what to do to save our trees, we did what he told us to do, and they did what they said they were going to do. And saved all our trees thanks again. Highly recommended. Also reasonably priced for the work they do.

Hazardous tree from storm damage | Knothead Tree and Lawn Care

Our Rapid Response Tree Service

We know urgency matters. That’s why we provide same-day and 24/7 response for emergencies throughout Castle Rock, Parker, Elizabeth, Highlands Ranch, Monument, and nearby towns.

Emergency tree work is dangerous, which is why you need professionals. Our ISA-certified arborists have the training, insurance, and hands-on expertise to safely prune or cut trees even in challenging, high-risk environments.

From bucket trucks to rigging gear, we bring the tools needed to handle complex jobs. Whether it’s storm damage tree removal or trimming a massive broken limb, we’ve got the equipment and experience to get it done safely.

Emergency Tree Removal vs. Emergency Pruning

Not every emergency means losing your tree. In many cases, strategic pruning can remove dangerous limbs, reduce canopy weight, and preserve the overall health of your tree. Full emergency tree removal is only recommended when the tree is beyond saving or poses an immediate threat.

Our arborists always look for the safest and most cost-effective solution first, whether that’s pruning, partial canopy reduction, or complete removal.
