  When I returned from a recent trip I was shocked to find that one of my huge cottonwood trees had smashed the wooden barn and blocked the driveway. The arborist analyzed the situation and shared that this was one tree with 10 huge trunks. The one that fell had disturbed the roots of the whole tree, weakening the rest of the trunks. There was a great danger that one or more of the trunks would fall on my neighbor’s house. The situation was critical. I knew that I had to find the best tree company to tackle this job. I got on the waiting list for Southwest Fire Defense LLC and when the day came, Daniel Martinez and his crew arrived with the huge machinery needed for this challenging job. In two days they had removed all of the branches from 6 of the trunks and chipped them into a huge pile for my future use. On the 3rd day the crane arrived to assist in the final work of cutting back the bare trunks into large segments, the largest of which weighed 7000 lbs. They placed the segments where I requested. Daniel and his team of six were very skilled and knowledgeable. Throughout this process, they answered all my many questions and were very respectful of my wishes and concerns. They worked with great efficiency while maintaining a high level of safety. I am so grateful I found this company! I highly recommend Southwest Fire Defense for any type of tree removal work.

  They were so accommodating, so understanding, and so helpful with our tree removal! They went above and beyond to help us, even when we changed our minds about exactly what we needed. And their quote was reasonable and fast, their work professional and quick, and safe and skillful.

  Fantastic people to work with! Tree removal and trimmings were exceptionally well done and CLEAN when finished. An arborist is part of the crew and thankfully they were able to repair some of the horrific tree mutilations by another tree service based in Santa Fe. Very reasonable cost and they finished trimming 3 old elms and removal of another tree in one day. Even offered to come back free of charge if I wished further trimming later in the spring!!!! One of the best companies that I have had the pleasure to work with in over 40 yrs living in northern NM.
