About Riverdale Tree Services

Fort Lupton sits on the South Platte with the fields running east and the Front Range lined up blue along the western sky, close enough that you can watch weather build over it an hour before it gets here. Riverdale Tree Services works the river bottom and the town blocks alike — trimming the big cottonwoods that shade the old farmsteads, pruning young trees into a shape the wind can't argue with, removing the split and hollow ones leaning toward a barn or a house. Wind is the constant out here, and the calls come the morning after: limbs across a lane, a top down in a corral, brush to be stacked and carried off by noon. They cut close, load everything, and leave a yard that doesn't advertise what happened to it. In this open country a sound cottonwood is half the reason a farmyard feels like a place to stop, and keeping one standing is honest work.
