Hi, I'm Austin, owner of Maven Tree Services. For nearly a decade, I've helped Albuquerque homeowners and businesses keep their properties safe and beautiful through expert tree care. In our high-desert climate, sudden monsoons and strong winds can quickly turn overgrown trees into serious hazards—causing property damage, safety risks, and even higher utility bills from poor shading. That's where we come in.

Whether you need branches trimmed away from your roof in Old Town or a dying piñon removed from your Sandia foothills property, our team knows Albuquerque's unique trees inside and out. We focus on eco-friendly practices, recycling wood chips for mulch and minimizing chemical use to protect our local environment. With full licensing, insurance, and prices that beat the big chains, we make quality tree service in Albuquerque accessible without cutting corners. From Nob Hill to Paradise Hills, we've built our reputation on fast response times and customer satisfaction. If you're dealing with unruly trees or prepping your yard for the season ahead, let's chat about how we can help your property thrive.

Services We Offer

Tree Removal

Tree removal is the complete extraction of unwanted, hazardous, or dead trees from your property—a critical service that protects your home and landscape from damage. In Albuquerque's challenging climate, trees weakened by drought, bark beetles, or storm damage can threaten structures with falling branches, invasive roots that crack foundations, or complete collapse during monsoon winds. Professional removal requires specialized equipment and trained crews to safely dismantle trees without damaging nearby property, utilities, or landscaping.

For comprehensive information about the complete process and how we handle Albuquerque's unique challenges, explore our professional tree removal services.

Tree Trimming

Tree trimming maintains tree health, safety, and appearance by strategically removing dead, diseased, or overgrown branches before they become hazards. In Albuquerque's high-desert climate with intense monsoon winds, regular trimming prevents dangerous branch failures, improves airflow through the canopy to reduce storm damage, and keeps trees clear of roofs, power lines, and structures. Professional trimming also addresses drought stress by removing excess growth that taxes water resources, extends tree lifespan through proper pruning techniques, and enhances your property's curb appeal with well-shaped, balanced canopies.

Deadwood removal

Dead wood removal addresses branches and limbs that have died but remain attached to your trees—a common problem in Albuquerque's drought-prone climate. These brittle, deteriorating branches pose serious safety risks during our monsoon winds and can harbor pests and diseases that spread to healthy parts of the tree. Our certified team safely removes deadwood from cottonwoods, ash, elms, and other local species, improving both tree health and your property's safety. We carefully cut dead branches back to live growth points, promoting better air circulation and directing the tree's energy toward healthy development rather than sustaining dying limbs.

Protect your property and extend your trees' lifespan with professional deadwood assessment and safe removal services tailored to Albuquerque's challenging conditions.

Tree Stump Grinding

Old tree stumps collect moisture during monsoon season, creating ideal conditions for termite colonies and root rot fungi. We grind stumps 8-12 inches deep using carbide-tipped equipment designed specifically for Albuquerque's volcanic rock and caliche layers.

Discover how professional grinding prevents regrowth and protects buried utilities.

Emergency Tree Services

When storms strike Albuquerque, fallen trees and broken limbs create immediate dangers to your property and family. Our emergency tree services respond 24/7 to secure your property, remove hazardous trees, and clean up storm damage—often arriving within hours when you need help most. We handle everything from trees on structures to dangerous hanging branches, providing fast, reliable response when every minute counts.

Case studies:

Dimitri had a massive dead Chinese elm looming over the street and his house, just waiting for a big storm to cause thousands of dollars in damage to the neighborhood.

Using a boom lift, I was able to safely and strategically remove the elm in small chunks. No more eyesore! No more danger! Check out the image and timelapse below to see the work that was done:

Eva's yard overhaul included removing a thorny, dying tree from her front yard, clearing elm saplings in the back, trimming a neighbor's overhanging juniper to lift it above her hammock (preserving the tree's health and appearance while opening up space), shaping bushes and shrubs, and eliminating Tree of Heaven sprouts. The result: a safer, more usable yard without environmental harm.

Dan had a huge ash tree that was almost completely dead and a Russian Olive with significant deadwood. We climbed both trees, removed the ash, and cleared the deadwood from the Olive. The property's appearance is now 10x better and much safer.

Christine needed an unsightly dead tree removed quickly. We handled it in a day, with full cleanup and no surprises, restoring her yard's look.

Kim had two huge pine trees planted too close to her backyard walls, causing cracks and loosening. We removed them safely, preventing thousands in repair costs for the walls and stucco.

Here's a timelapse of us felling one of the trees, then cutting it into manageable pieces before hauling it off.

Here's a picture of the damage that one of the pine trees was causing to Kim's wall.
