Reviews
Matt communicated very well with CSFS foresters as well as with landowners. This project had a variety of timber types and the treatment on all was top notch. I can say without hesitation that the CSFS and landowners are very pleased with the work completed.

Old Growth Tree Service completed 2,600 acres of hazardous fuels mitigation projects
throughout Eagle County during 2023. There were a variety of scopes and specifications for the projects across the county, and Specialized Land Management left behind products that Eagle Valley Wildland and homeowners were pleased with. They were a pleasure to work with throughout the process and we look forward to working with them on fuels management projectsHugh Fairfield-Smith

It is hard to imagine that a better team could have been assembled to tackle and complete this

From first contact through completion of the project, Matt and the SLM team provided the highest levels of quality and service and inspired confidence that they were the right people for the job. They have the knowledge, expertise, and tools to perform this type of work safely and efficiently, and they were very easy to do business with. Our project was completed on time and on budget, and I am extremely pleased with the result. I would happily use Old Growth Tree Service again should the need arise and recommend them without reservation.

I have worked with Matt for the past few years with Beetle kill mitigation on our 80 acre property in Eagle, Colorado. Our most recent project involved mitigation of 500 dead and infected trees from a steep hillside. My husband and I could not have been happier with the professionalism that went into this project.
