One Arborist. Your Trees. No Runaround.
With the bigger tree companies, you get a salesman on Monday and a crew you've never met on Thursday. At Barkeater Trees, the person who assesses your trees is the same person who does the work. I'm an ISA Certified Arborist with a background in wildlife ecology and six years as a Colorado Parks and Wildlife Ranger. I’ll bring that same land ethic to every tree I touch.
No layers of overhead. No upselling you services you don't need. Just certified, knowledgeable tree care at a fair price.
Why Boulder Homeowners Choose Barkeater
The arborist is the one who shows up.
No handoffs. The ISA Certified Arborist who evaluates your trees is the one doing the work.
Ecology-trained, not just trade-trained.
A wildlife management degree and six years as a park ranger mean I see your trees as part of a living system — not just a to-do list.
Fair pricing with no overhead.
Solo operation means lower costs passed directly to you. You're paying for expertise, not a fleet of trucks and a sales team.
Rooted in Boulder County.
I know the trees here — the soil, the microclimates, the pests, the weather patterns. Local knowledge matters.
