"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"

"I liked the way the company communicated with me throughout the whole process, even letting me know when they were in route to my house. They were very quick and cleaned up after themselves. I do not know how to rate the value for the money because I do not have anything to compare it to so I gave it a four star but I was very pleased with the service"

"Luke was amazing. He gave us a quick quote that was reasonable. He started and worked when he said he would. He kept us updated and sent pictures afterward. The quality of his work was excellent. I was so pleased with his work. He went above and beyond by doing a couple extra things for us as we were out of state. I would and will recommend him to anyone looking for a professional quality painter!"
After.. what an amazing difference!

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.
