"Nathan was great to work with designing and completing this project. His team worked hard and I was so pleased with the result. The work included adding pavers around an existing concrete pad to make it bigger and a new walkway, completely redoing the old irrigation system, putting in a pea gravel patio and redoing the grass and adding mulch to reduce water usage. The project also included new flowers and decorative grasses."

"Our main water line was leaking with hardly any pressure to our house. Upon calling Holmes Excavation the Friday before Christmas, they were up at our house within 90 minutes. After agreeing to their services, they arranged for the locate services for electric, gas, and phone before the end of the day and before the weekend to prepare for their work starting on Monday. Our water service was restored by the end of the day on Monday, and they finished backfilling the next day--2 days before Christmas! While their equipment was still at our house, my wife asked if they could pull out some nasty roots from her garden. They did so without hesitation and I was able to cross that off of my "to do" list and saving my back for another project. Thank you to all involved--Bill, Mark, Rob, Gerado (sp?), Jose and anyone else I may have missed!"

"We actually did a lot of research on the installation of artificial turf, and had a few estimates. We decided on Chaz, owner of Rocky Mountain Turf and Greens LLC. because of the time he took to go over everything, show us past jobs, and the options he gave us. We actually had them come out twice because they did such a great job the first time, we had them do another section. We tried for ten years to get grass to grow and couldn't get it done, we didn't want our lawn to look like a putting green and they managed to accommodate our wishes. They actually did a lot more than all the videos we watched on "how to install artificial turf". We've had issues with hiring local companies where we live to do other projects, but they showed up on time, not high or drunk, and were very respectful of our property and us. I would highly recommend them to any one who wants to install artificial turf, and want it done correctly the first time. I do have to say that anyone who has seen the work they've done is highly impressed and actually can't believe it's artificial turf and the attention to detail they used as it isn't a "square" yard, it is bow shaped and has several trees and plants in the center, and it is surrounded by rocks. I have recommended them to other people and they've ended up using them and are extremely happy with the results. Also, I know there have been people posting bad crap about using "artificial" turf and how bad it is for the environment and I just want to say that I notice not a single one of you are giving up your smart phones, your computers, your t.v.'s or cars and living in caves wearing animal skins and eating wild animals you've caught with your bare hands.... so shut up and get a life, and I would much rather have the water I would use trying to keep my lawn looking like a city park to go to farmers and ranchers, you know the people that give us food to live on!!!!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.

Lightning can cause massive damage, fires, and openings for other threats like bugs or fungal diseases. Barring any large fires or explosions, it’s difficult to tell how much damage a lightning strike has done until after a thorough inspection. Contact local authorities immediately if lightning strikes a tree in your yard and it causes a fire or explosion.

Many species, especially when well-established, are not fans of transplantation. You’ll need to decide if you want to risk splashing the cash, understanding that transplantation isn’t always successful. Again, this is where hiring a pro is helpful, as they can give you all the essential info you need to ensure your tree stands a fighting chance.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.
