"The crew came out, got right to work, did an excellent job cutting down and trimming 2 trees then they cleaned everything up and even raked up all the little stuff. I will never use another company for my tree service. Thank you Todd and Joe!"

"James is a top knotch vendor. He gave me a great rate on two apple tree stumps. They are really hard and dense. It only took him about half an hour to go 7 inches under grade. He is a most pleasant person to work with. I highly recommend his service."

"Excellent work by Tree Toppin Services â our trees are now back in tip-top shape following the damage incurred from the heavy snows. They were very professional, arrived up on time, worked hard and did a thorough clean up when finished. An overall great experience! We are putting this company on â repeatâ and have been scheduled for an annual evaluation to ensure our trees, shrubs and bushes remain healthy and in great shape. Thank you!"

"John is an incredibly knowledgeable arborist who clearly understands trees and the issues they face here in Colorado. We had two pines that he ended up removing and replacing with Junipers. He gave us options to treat or replace. John took the time to walk through both options plus provided several tree replacement options to chose from. Highly recommend his expertise and honest approach."

"Colby’s Cactus Cowboys did a great job taking down 3 trees, trimming 2 trees, filling in a pond and placing and filling 2 large raised beds with soil. They worked efficiently and kept me informed on their progress. They were open to suggestions and provided knowledgeable advice. I would definitely hire them for any landscaping jobs in the future."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

A palm tree's lifespan typically ranges from 40 to 100 years, though some species can live much longer. For example, certain types of Date Palm trees can live for over 200 years. The exact longevity of a palm tree is influenced by several factors, including its species, size, climate, and growing conditions. To maximize your palm's lifespan, provide proper care and maintenance, such as ensuring it gets enough sunlight, water, and nutrients, and protecting it from pests and diseases. For expert maintenance tips, consider consulting a professional arborist.

For trimming trees, your best tool is a pair of pruning shears or loppers. Both options work best for branches that are under 3 inches in diameter. Trimming trees with a larger diameter may require a robust tool like a small chainsaw or a handsaw, so take into account your tree’s diameter when deciding between tools.

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.

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.

You may wonder whether tree removal is tax deductible: Tree removal is not tax-deductible for homeowners unless it's related to a federally declared disaster. In that case, the cost may qualify as a casualty loss. However, if you own a commercial property, like a rental home, tree removal could be deductible if it's necessary for safety, maintenance, or part of a larger capital improvement project, and you must hire a professional tree removal service and keep documentation. Always consult a tax professional beforehand to see if you qualify.
