Tree Service in Bluffdale, UT

Bluffdale got its name from its landscape, the bluffs and dales along the Jordan River, and Tree Service in Bluffdale still deals with open land more than most of the valley. The city is surrounded by open space, has equestrian trails woven through it, and carries a long piece of the 40-mile Jordan River Parkway Trail. Many properties here have more trees than a typical lot and more room to work around them.

The jobs we see on acreage

• Old windbreak rows of poplar, Siberian elm or Russian olive that are dying out or dropping limbs
• Cottonwoods and willows along the river, canals and low spots
• Trees growing into fences, corrals and arenas
• Dead or hazardous trees near barns, sheds and hay storage
• Clearing volunteer growth from fence lines and pasture edges
• Grinding multiple stumps at once after a cleanup

On open ground, some trees can be felled whole, which is faster than dismantling. We decide that tree by tree after looking at what is around it.

Canals start here

Seven irrigation canals originate at the Jordan Narrows near Bluffdale, including the Salt Lake Canal, begun in 1862. Canal banks are usually controlled by the canal company, and trees growing on them may not be yours to cut. Where a tree on your side leans over the water, we keep wood and debris out of the canal and ask about access before the job.

A young city that doubled

Bluffdale incorporated on October 13, 1978, but most of its growth is recent. Its population went from 7,598 in 2010 to 17,014 in 2020, an increase of about 124 percent, and the median age was 27.8. New neighborhoods have young trees that need structural pruning; older parcels have the big, tired trees left from farm days.

Parks and the river

Wardle Fields Regional Park covers 40 acres, and the city's main park is about 22 acres among 13 parks in all. The Jordan River runs through town, draining Utah Lake toward the Great Salt Lake, and the valley floor here is the bed of ancient Lake Bonneville, with old shorelines visible on the foothills. Low, wet ground near the river grows big trees fast, and those trees fail fast when their roots rot.

Storms on open ground

With fewer buildings and mature trees to break the wind, single trees and windbreak rows in Bluffdale take the full force of summer thunderstorm gusts and winter wind. Dead tops and hollow trunks are the first to go. After a storm, we can clear fallen limbs from fences, drives and pastures, and look over the trees still standing for cracks and lifted roots.

Horses and trees

If you keep horses, tell us before the job which trees they can reach. Some trees, such as red maples, are known to be toxic to horses when leaves are wilted, so we clean up leaves and clippings from pastures thoroughly after pruning.
