"Isaac Ayala is amazing, along with his tree trimming helpers. I submitted a request online for tree trimming quotes on April 1 at 11 a.m. I had no sooner submitted an online request for a quote when Isaac called me and we set an appointment for 3 pm that day to meet to look at 5 large (70') cottonwoods that needed serious trimming at my daughter's house outside Rifle. Of course, Isaac arrived a half-hour early for our appointment. Isaac said he was between jobs for a day or 2 and gave me what I thought was a fair price for trimming the tall cottonwoods. Isaac wanted to do the trimming on April 2. He showed up at my daughter's ranch and did a fantastic job over a 6-hour period trimming tall cottonwoods. Our agreed-upon price only included dropping the wood and not having it chipped or hauled away. To shorten this story, Isaac's 2 helpers ended up picking up all the logs and branches and tossing them into a nearby gully. I hoped I tipped the 2 ground guys enough!! The crew picked up all the branches, raked, and basically left the land in the same condition as before starting. I asked Isaac what outdoor tree/landscape/sprinkler/concrete/masonry work that he and his associates could NOT provide. He said, "We do it all." And, I believe him. He is that good Dr. Kirk Beattie Rifle, CO"

"Isaac & his crew were very professional. Arrived right on time and removed a 50 foot cottonwood in just over an hour. They made sure the yard was cleaned up, even beyond my expectations. I would certainly recommend them to anyone needing landscape work and or tree removal. I am also having them come back later this fall to remove the stump and clean up roots that have surfaced in the yard. Thanks Isaac for a great job done!! :)"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. 

Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it.  

If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.

If you’re wondering whether you can plant a tree where the stump was removed, know that the soil conditions won’t be ideal, so you should avoid it. The soil beneath the previous tree will likely be depleted of nutrients, plus there may be roots left behind that will seriously hinder the growth of a new tree. Also, if you use salt or other chemical solutions to kill the stump, these can linger in the soil for months or even years and prevent healthy growth. It’s best to choose a different spot that’s at least three feet away for a new tree, or wait at least a year and thoroughly amend the soil before you plant.

Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.

Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.
