ISA Certified Arborist performing technical tree climbing and removal in steep canyon terrain — professional tree service in Cody and Powell, WY

Thin Air Tree Service is owned and operated by Jonathan Clifton — an ISA Certified Arborist with more than 20 years of experience in professional tree care.

Before coming to Wyoming, Jonathan built and operated a successful tree service in Leavenworth, Washington for eight years. Leavenworth sits in the heart of the Cascade Mountains — dense Pacific Northwest forest, steep and technical terrain, and some of the most demanding removal work in the industry. Jonathan's crew worked regularly on and around million-dollar properties where there was no room for error: large conifers in tight spaces, removals over structures, technical rigging on steep slopes, and clients who expected the job done right the first time without a scratch on their property.

That's the standard Jonathan brought to every job in Washington — and it's the standard he brings to every job in Wyoming.

When he and his family made the decision to leave everything behind and start fresh in the Bighorn Basin, he stepped away from the industry entirely — spending a year and a half focused on family, on settling into a new place, and on doing things at the right pace.

Thin Air Tree Service is what came next. Not a rushed decision, not a franchise — a deliberate choice to build something right, in a place worth building it.

Jonathan brings the full weight of his experience to every job in the Powell and Cody area: the technical skill to handle complex removals safely, the equipment to do it efficiently, and the professional judgment that only comes from two decades in the field. Whether you're a homeowner dealing with a hazardous tree, a rancher clearing ag land, or a property owner in the foothills managing wildfire risk — you're getting an operator who has seen it all and knows exactly what he's doing.

Thin Air Tree Service is locally owned, community-rooted, and built to be here for the long haul.
