Sandy runs from the valley floor to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, and the tree work changes block by block as you climb. Down near America First Field and the Shops at South Town it’s maturing subdivision trees — ash, maple, flowering pear — that need cycle trimming and the occasional removal. Up on the east bench toward Bell Canyon and Hidden Valley, it’s big blue spruces and pines standing in the direct path of the canyon winds.
Those winds are the defining fact of Sandy tree care. When a cold front pushes east wind out of Little Cottonwood, gusts on the bench routinely top 70 mph, and overloaded or poorly rooted conifers come down. The best money a bench homeowner can spend is thinning and deadwood pruning before storm season — and we’re usually in the neighborhood.

Sandy tree care questions
How do I protect my trees from Sandy’s canyon winds?
Thin the canopy so wind passes through instead of pushing on it, remove deadwood before the wind does, and deal with structural weak points — codominant stems, cracked unions — before storm season. East-bench conifers between roughly 9400 South and the canyon mouth take the hardest hits; we evaluate exactly those trees all fall.
Can you remove very large spruce and pine trees in Sandy?
Yes — big east-bench conifers are some of our most common large removals. They’re dismantled in sections, usually rigged down the trunk on ropes, and the limbs chipped on site. Steep bench lots and tiered backyards don’t change the answer, just the plan; we’ll walk the access at the free estimate.
