Murray is one of the valley’s original settlements, and it shows in the trees: giant cottonwoods along Little Cottonwood Creek and through Murray Park, mature shade trees on the old grid streets near State Street, and backyard orchard remnants that have outlived three owners. Murray is even designated a Tree City USA — people here care about their canopy, and so do we.
Creek-side cottonwoods are the signature Murray job. They grow huge in the wet ground, carry heavy horizontal limbs, and shed them without notice — over trampolines, fences, and the Murray Parkway trail. Weight-reduction pruning every few years keeps them safe and standing; when one is past that, we have the rigging to bring it down in a tight yard without touching the creek bank.
Working around Murray Park, Little Cottonwood Creek and Fashion Place — and every neighborhood in between.

Murray tree care questions
Who is responsible for trees along Little Cottonwood Creek in Murray?
Trees on your titled property are yours, even when the creek runs through it — and creek-side cottonwoods are exactly the trees that most need regular weight reduction. Where a tree stands on city parkway or trail corridor, Murray City maintains it. We can usually tell you which situation you have from the plat at the estimate.
Do you work on the big old trees in Murray’s historic neighborhoods?
All the time — the old grid blocks between State Street and the park hold some of our favorite trees in the valley. Work on mature trees is about restraint: cleaning deadwood, reducing weight on overextended limbs, and never taking more than the tree can close over. Murray’s canopy got old because people maintained it; we keep it that way.
