"These guys are responsive and professional. They delivered above and beyond what I expected. They didn’t just take care of the job I called them about. They also surveyed my property and let me know that I had a tree in the alley that had grown up through wires (no wonder our tv is so sketchy. I am delighted with their attention to detail and super happy with the value received. Will absolutely call them again the next time I need tree trimming or storm clean-up."

"Michael was great to work with. He had the proper equipment to get my site prep done right. He coordinated with the county inspectors and was always on site in a timely fashion. I recommend Dotts Constuction and I will use them again on upcoming future phases of my project."

"When taking down 4 large pine trees they took extra care not to damage adjacent building (home) and other surrounding trees. They finished up in one day to include chipping all the slash and ground clean up."

"The crew at Pine Brothers are amongst the most professional I have experienced in the central rockies. They showed up when they said they would and exceeded my expectations, especially considering how challenging it can be to find reliable contractors in my area. I know of nobody else with the same level of expertise, professionalism, knowledge, and charisma. They were very accommodating and eager to get my job done, and done well. They were able to conquer several dead and dangerous trees with tight margins for error with ease, and cleaned the place up fast. It was like the trees were never there! I couldn't recommend them enough."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they’re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line. 

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.

It can take anywhere from one month to a couple of years for tree roots to grow back in sewer lines. Tree roots can cause extreme havoc on your sewer lines, potentially cracking them and causing untreated wastewater to make its way into the groundwater. Have a landscaping pro remove trees and roots before installing your system, or call a pro to do it retroactively as soon as you can.

Trimming a tree can take anywhere from just two hours to a full day, depending on the age of the tree, the number of trees, and the species. Young trees are generally easier to trim, as their branches are often thinner in diameter and easier to reach compared to mature trees. They also tend to be healthier. If you haven’t trimmed your trees before or it’s been a while, the process could take even longer.
