Wilson's Woodyard & Tree Service

About Wilson's Woodyard & Tree Service

By late September the aspens around Red River turn to gold coins, frost silvers the morning grass, and woodsmoke begins drifting from chimneys up and down the valley. This is the season a woodyard comes into its own, and Wilson's Woodyard & Tree Service deals in the split rounds that carry mountain homes through a long winter at altitude. Tree work runs alongside it, with spruce, fir and aspen trimmed back from rooflines, deadfall cleared, and leaning trunks brought down before the deep snows. There is a particular pride in a woodpile stacked square and tight against a north wall, and in a stand opened up so light reaches the forest floor again. Up here, wood is warmth, and tree care is how a mountain place stays livable.
