Big Trees in a Small Town

West Bountiful is small, about 3.3 square miles and 5,917 residents in 2020, and Tree Service in West Bountiful is mostly hands-on work on established yards. The city sits on the flats between Bountiful and the Legacy Nature Preserve, about 11 miles north of downtown Salt Lake City, and has just over 1,800 housing units. The calls we expect here are the ones common to older, open neighborhoods on the valley floor: mature shade trees over roofs, old fruit trees, and evergreen or poplar rows that have started to fail.

Open ground means wind

With the preserve and open marshland to the west, West Bountiful's trees take more wind than those in denser cities. That shows up as:

Windbreak rows with dead tops and missing trees
Leaning poplars and willows on wet ground
Large limbs broken out of old cottonwoods
Evergreens with lopsided crowns from the prevailing wind

Old windbreaks can sometimes be renewed by removing the worst trees and replanting the gaps. When the whole row is failing, taking it out and starting over is often the better choice.

Wet ground near the preserve

The city borders the Legacy Nature Preserve on the west, and low ground near wetlands stays wet for long stretches. Willows, cottonwoods and Russian olive grow fast on wet ground, and their roots can rot when the soil stays saturated. If a tree near the house has started to lean or the soil has cracked around its base, have it looked at before the next windstorm.

The landfill is in town

Bountiful's city landfill is located at 1300 West 1600 North in West Bountiful, and it accepts clean green waste from West Bountiful residents. Residential loads are $7 for a car, pickup or small trailer, and the landfill sells wood chips and compost. If you are doing your own pruning, it is about as close as a drop-off can get. On our jobs, wood and brush are chipped and hauled away unless you want to keep them.

A long history for a small city

James Fackrell founded the settlement in 1848. West Bountiful incorporated as a town on January 28, 1949, and became a third-class city on November 12, 1962. Interstate 15 runs through the eastern part of town. Some of the oldest trees in the city stand near the original homesteads, and those are often worth the extra effort to keep.

West Bountiful Questions

Can you replace part of an old windbreak instead of the whole row?

Often, yes. We remove the dead and failing trees, grind their stumps and leave the healthy ones. You can then replant the gaps. If most of the row is in decline, a full removal and fresh start usually makes more sense.

My willow is leaning on soggy ground. What should I do?

A new lean on saturated soil is a warning sign. Keep people and vehicles out of the fall zone and have it looked at soon. Sometimes reducing the crown helps; sometimes removal is the safe answer.

Can I take branches to the landfill myself?

Yes. West Bountiful residents can drop clean green waste at the Bountiful landfill on 1600 North. Be ready to show that you live in one of the cities it serves, and check current fees and hours before you go.

Do you work on larger lots with lots of trees?

Yes. On bigger properties we can handle several trees in one visit, which is usually more economical. The estimate lists each tree and what we plan to do with it.

Is it safe to keep an old cottonwood near the house?

Cottonwoods grow huge, have brittle wood and drop limbs, sometimes on calm summer days. One well away from buildings can be kept with regular deadwood pruning. One leaning over a roof or driveway deserves a close inspection and often a reduction or removal.
