This list constitutes the Tree Maintenance Businesses that are currently licensed and insured according to the City of Cheyenne Ordinances. The Urban Forestry Division cannot endorse the quality of  work of any company or individual on any particular tree/shrub. The Urban Forestry Division suggests that consumers obtain several estimates, check references, and enter into a written contract before tree work begins. 
 


As of April 1, 2006, all Tree Maintenance Businesses in Cheyenne are required to have the owner or a full-time active employee to be Certified Arborists or Certified Tree Workers through International Society of Arboriculture, to be licensed in the City of Cheyenne.

1. Request proof of licensing and insurance: All tree care and spraying operations legally operating in the City of Cheyenne must be licensed through the City Clerk's office and must have adequate insurance coverage. In addition, spraying operations must be able to show a current State of Wyoming Pesticide Applicator's License. These requirements are for your protection and do not necessarily increase the cost of a job. Avoid non-licensed and uninsured companies, as you have no legal recourse should damages occur. If an uninsured worker injures themselves on your property, you will most likely have to pay the medical costs.
2. Ask for written estimates: Obtain several estimates, compare the work specified, and the completion date. If your trees are to be sprayed, find out what insect the company is spraying for and what time of the year is the optimum time to control that insect. Most insects are only effectively controlled during certain growth stages, therefore only certain times of the year. Beware of individuals that require payment "up front". Services should not be paid for until all work is completed to your satisfaction.
