Our Mission
To keep Western Slope families, homes and acreage safe from wildfire and hazard trees — with skilled hands, straight talk and pricing a neighbor can trust.
Owner-Operated Tree Care Since 2003
White River Tree Services is a family-run Montrose outfit built on hard work, honest quotes and clean job sites.
Who Swings the Saw
Experience Earned on Western Slope Ground
Mike Castle has spent three decades working Colorado trees — cottonwood bottoms along the Uncompahgre, pine stands above Ridgway, and tight residential lots in downtown Montrose. That experience shows in the rigging plan, the equipment we bring, and the way your lawn looks when we roll out.
We follow Colorado State Forest Service defensible-space guidelines on every mitigation project, carry full liability coverage, and answer the phone ourselves. No call center, no subcontracted crews, no surprise invoices.
We are committed to answering every call and providing exceptional customer service. Your needs are important to us, and we are always here to assist you.

Mission & Vision
Our Vision
A Montrose region where every property has real defensible space, healthy trees and a crew they can call by name when the wind comes through.
Core Values
How We Work, Every Job
Safety First, Always
Rigging plans, drop zones and gear checks before a saw ever starts. Nobody and nothing gets hurt on our watch.
Honest Quotes
The number we give you at the tailgate is the number on your invoice. No hidden fees, no upsell games.
Tree Health Over Volume
We only cut what needs cutting. Proper pruning cuts and thinning that leave your trees stronger, not stripped.
Clean Job Sites
Chipped, raked and blown before we roll out. You should only be able to tell we were here by what is gone.
Our Approach
A Plan Before a Cut
- 1
Walk the property
We look at lean, decay, targets and access before quoting.
- 2
Write it down
You get a clear scope and a firm price — free, no pressure.
- 3
Do the work safely
Rigging, boom truck or climb, whatever the tree calls for.
- 4
Leave it clean
Chips hauled, wood stacked if you want it, site raked.
