CETC was established in January 2010. Its Lafayette, CO owner wanted to create a company where top climbing arborists were the result of running a well-organized company and making on the job training just a part of the normal day. We pride ourselves on our reputation, years of experience in the tree care industry, and years of business administration expertise. If you want your trees to be taken care of the way they should be, please call us for a free estimate.
Kit Wagner has a MBA in Strategic Management and Finance/Accounting. She has a professional background in Human Resources and over two decades of business administration experience. She is managing the office and handling billing/invoicing, scheduling and marketing. She is also the Qualified Supervisor for our Plant Health Care division and is licensed through the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Her passion for our environment, trees, bees, and all the species in between are what has brought her to CETC in her role as the sole female business owner. She typically answers the phone when you call and you will always deal directly with Kit as far as scheduling, billing, and questions are concerned.
Justin Wilson is our lead foreman and arborist here at CETC. Justin has been doing tree care for over 25 years now. He will personally meet with you to discuss your property and come up with a tree care plan appropriate for the species in your yard and your long-term goals for specific sites on your property. Then he will come back and prune or remove that tree as you discussed with him in person. He is passionate about trees, climbing, doing a job from beginning to end the right way even if it takes longer, and always being a man of his word. He loves what he does which is why he makes technical removals and day to day operations look easy. If you say hello, and then suddenly they are already done working, it’s because Justin is the fastest arborist CETC has ever had.
Nathan London has been here for years. He is the lead PHC spray technician and lead ground foreman. He shows up first every day and is also the last to leave. He is why “We are always a team” literally has meaning day in and day out year after year. You may see him hauling brush, handling a rigging line, spraying a very special tree worth saving or driving the rig.
Kevin Ries is our newest CETC crew member. Kevin will haul brush, dump the truck, drive the log trailer, and be on time every day with a smile.
We also occasionally bring in other arborists when needed who have been a part of the CETC team over the past 15 years as needed.
