"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

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.

Costs depend on tree height, trunk diameter, removal complexity, and required equipment.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

Getting a tree pro with the right experience can be the difference between your transplanted tree surviving or not. When hiring a local tree transplanting and removal service, follow up on references, check their portfolio, ask for a breakdown of the costs, and get proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. 

Also, look for companies certified by the International Society of Arboriculture or registered with the Tree Care Industry Association and make sure they have an appropriate state or city license.
