Canopy Conversations is friendly, accessible advice to help guide you in all things tree care.


High Plains Tree and Landscape Services is a local business, rooted in integrity and quality. This blog is our chance to share years of experience with our local community with a goal of growing a thriving tree canopy that serves generations to come. My name is Amanda and my husband Adam owns and operates High Plains Trees. After over a decade of listening to Adam talk about trees, I decided to take his knowledge and passion, and my love of writing and start this blog! We feel incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to serve our community doing something that we love and are so grateful for the support we have received over the years. We give back at every chance we get and this blog is our way of putting an Arborist in your back yard, to guide you through making important decisions for your property and trees.


Say hello if you see us out and about!


Our Story


We started our family together in a small (as in 1,100 square feet tiny!) rental farmhouse on the west side of Ault in 2011. When we found out we were expecting our first, we knew Ault was home and bought a house on the east side of town. We have the best neighbors and are so grateful to have found a home in this community. I am an ER nurse at Poudre Valley Hospital. Adam started his arboriculture career under the guidance of the owner of a long standing, well respected tree service company in Fort Collins. While there, Adam grew to become a foreman and crew lead and gained over a decade and a half of experience. He also sought mentorship and built relationships with other tree service company owners, utility companies such as REA, and became familiar with working with municipalities and large contracts. With the encouragement of his boss and mentor, Adam pursued his Arborist certification and took the leap to purchase equipment, gain licensing and insurance, and start his own business.


When deciding where to base our business out of, we loved the community we had been lucky enough to end up a part of and saw a growing need for high quality, local tree services in our area. We decided to base our company where we had also based our lives, on the beautiful High Plains of Colorado. What started with Adam as the only employee has grown so much over the past 4 years. We are combining our love and knowledge of the benefit of trees with our commitment to this community. We feel incredibly blessed to be running a full crew now and staying busy! We remain rooted in quality and integrity and plan to serve this area for years to come.
