Editorial Review

Our Take on DLC Landscape & Arbor

DLC brings 45 years of Denver operating history and a dedicated arbor division led by a head arborist and qualified supervisor. Reviewers single out fast, competitive quotes. Because the company also runs a large commercial landscape business, homeowners should confirm that an arbor crew will handle the job.

    DLC did major trimming for my spruces, my maple, my Canada cherry, and my plum tree. I’m grateful for the nice work and beautiful results. Thanks to awesome crew!

  • Connor Phillips5.0

    I’ve had the occasion to interact with DLC arborists and tree trimmers on 4 occasions, and they’ve always been prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. Most recently, DLC removed an ailing, malformed pine tree that threatened a fence on our southern property line, and they did an excellent job. If you're in their service area and need tree work done, DLC is worth considering.

  • Juliana Pybus5.0

    We'd absolutely recommend DLC - the gentleman who provided the estimate was incredibly knowledgeable and professional and spend a very thorough amount of time talking through and preparing things. The crew arrived on time and worked very diligently to cut our three rather tall trees (despite drizzle that clogged the wood chipper and meant they had to wait to get another - all done without us even realizing until later on). Everyone was friendly, too. They cleaned things up and the trees look fantastic. We've already sent DLC's info to friends and family - thank you!

    DLC Landscape & Arbor - All Team Members<br><br>Fabulous Work!! – Thank you for your Arboristic Skill, Professional Touch, and Expert Knowledge – all brought to trim and refresh my 25yr old Tree! No matter how small or large the job, DLC’s focus is the same – excellent service with a friendly smile, at a reasonable price. I highly recommend checking out this Team.

    I received a quick appointment for an evaluation from the arborist. He was helpful and knowledgeable. The date for the trimming followed soon after and again I found the staff well prepared by the arborist and they did a great job in an<br>efficient manner. I recommend this company.

Company Background

About DLC Landscape & Arbor

DLC Landscape & Arbor started in 1980 when founder Mike Naes set out to build a company offering landscape and arbor services, and it is now led by Anthony Naes with more than 30 employees. The tree side, called DLC Arbor, works out of the office at 123 Vallejo St in Denver. Its site says the company is licensed and insured for pruning, tree and stump removal, insect and disease control and fertilization.

Robert Smith is the head arborist and qualified supervisor, Presten Jones manages arbor production and is a certified arborist, and Joe Sisk and Deane Long lead arbor crews. Pruning follows ISA and ANSI A300 standards. Removals use grapple saw trucks and two-person crews, a setup DLC says keeps labor costs down. Stump grinding runs a Vermeer grinder for large stumps, cut four to six inches below grade, and a compact Toro Dingo that fits through backyard gates. Tree planting, plant health care and storm pruning round out the list.

Reviewers talk about the quoting process more than anything. One homeowner said Justin and Preston both knew their trees when they came out to estimate, the crew arrived on time and the cleanup was exceptional. Another collected three bids for a large pine removal and stump grind and found DLC's the most competitive. A third had several large trees, stumps and an overdue oak pruned in one visit.

DLC holds 4.8 from 376 Google reviews, read November 7, 2026. The company describes itself as a leading commercial landscape contractor as well as an arbor service, and it also runs irrigation and snow removal, so confirm that an arbor crew will do your tree work. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and weekends are closed.

It suits homeowners and HOAs who want removals, pruning and stump grinding quoted quickly by a crew with a head arborist. It suits less well someone who needs weekend appointments. Before booking, ask for a written quote, proof of liability insurance and workers compensation, and the arborist licence number so you can check it with Denver forestry.
