"Noah and crew were on time, super helpful at explaining what we should and shouldnâ t trim, left the yard clean, and where done when they said they would be. Our neighbors even appreciated their work and even hired them on site for another job! I will be using them again at another house and would highly recommend them."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Edge & Ivy! They completely transformed my yard and did it all for an amazing price that beat every other quote I received. The team was professional, efficient, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They showed up on time, communicated every step of the process, and left everything looking spotless! My yard looks better than it ever has, and I’ve already gotten compliments from neighbors. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable outdoor work without breaking the bank!"

"Chris was the first to get back to me, came to estimate yard cleanup- which was a substantial amount of work - within a day. He was able to communicate well and gave me a plan and schedule that worked best for us. He matched the price I had been quoted for delivery and installation of tress, shrubs and boulders - so we hired him to do that, alsoâ ¦ in a much more timely manner. Chris aims to please and we were pleased with his work, professionalism snd integrity. Highly recommend."

"Pikes Peak Tree Care provided exceptional service from start to finish. Cole arrived promptly to remove our two large cottonwood trees and did an outstanding job. He skillfully took down the trees, removed the stumps and all surface roots, and left the area spotless. The site looks fantastic, and we couldn't be happier with the service provided. We are beyond impressed and highly recommend their services!"

"Great work done in a timely and affordable manner. Appreciated that the arborist actually walked all the trees with me and explained why I shouldnâ t trim as aggressively for both the health of the tree and the look of the finished tree. They also offered additional landscaping that was a great price but mulch is crazy expensive and not in the budget this year."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The speed of your tree root removal process depends on a few different factors, including the size and type of tree. However, the fastest method of killing tree roots is applying chemical herbicide, which starts working quickly and efficiently. But this removal method has its drawbacks, such as having a negative effect on the surrounding vegetation and landscaping. Other options like rock salt and stump grinding work relatively quickly and cause less damage to your yard.

If a tree isn’t pruned, it can inhibit proper growth and fruit production, cause damage to both the tree and your property, and create entry points for pests and diseases. Pruning a tree enhances its stability, appearance, shape, and growth. Pruning trees regularly can also save you money long-term by avoiding overgrown or dangerous dying trees.

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.

In most cases, your neighbor is responsible for roots from their tree that cause damage to your property. If your pavement, the foundation of your home, or a fence is damaged by roots from a neighbor’s tree, you likely will have legal recourse for financial relief. While it’s better to notify your neighbor of any problems you notice as soon as they arise to avoid costly damage, there are some instances where filing a civil suit is your only recourse. Your homeowner’s insurance company might wish to do so on your behalf if you file a claim.

A pro can guide you on the alternatives to tree topping depending on the specific issues within your trees. For example, if you’re dealing with breakage and cracks in your tree, they may suggest canopy reduction, which removes less than 25% of the tree’s limbs. If you’re dealing with lesser damage, some intentional pruning may be all you need. If you’re looking to get a clearer view through your tree, the pro may also try windowing or skirting your tree.
