Capshaw Tree Service

About Capshaw Tree Service

Cottonwoods have lined the North Platte River through Casper since before the town had a name, and the Platte River Parkway trail now runs underneath them where walkers and cyclists pass all summer and a heavy wet snow can bring a limb down across the path in a single night. Capshaw Tree Service tends those same trees the rest of the year, so winter calls tend to start with a look up before a look down — checking what a load of snow has done to an old cottonwood's weak crotch before clearing whatever fell. The river corridor collects cold air on a still night the way the open plains above it don't, and frost there can linger on a shaded path long after the sun's cleared the open ground. The crew clears fallen limbs and debris from residential yards and properties along the river and elsewhere in town, then plows or shovels the ground underneath once the hazard above it is handled. Capshaw works Casper's tree-lined streets and river-corridor properties, checking the same limbs that shade them each summer for what a winter storm has left behind.
