"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

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

Yes, you can hire professionals to move a tree. Arborists and tree transplanting companies specialize in this type of work and use equipment like hydraulic tree spades to safely extract and relocate trees with their root balls intact. Since tree moving is a complex process, especially for larger trees, it’s best left to experts who understand how to protect the tree’s health and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Trees that flower in the spring—like dogwood, cherry, magnolia, and pear—should not be pruned during the winter. These spring-flowering plants grow buds on old growth, so you’ll actually remove what would’ve been gorgeous flowering foliage. Instead, wait to prune until right after they bloom, when the flowers fade.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.
