"Top-Notch tree service has really lived up to its name every time I've used them. They've trimmed trees for me as well as taking out trees that unfortunately had to go. Their people are extremely skilled at what they do and have taken on Jobe requiring a huge crane to complete. I've literally never been concerned about any aspect of what they advised needing to be done."

"Sam and Jake removed many aspen trees from my property and trimmed several other trees. They did exactly what they said they would do and they charged per their quote without any overruns. They were professional, efficient and worked safely. They delivered quality customer service and I would definitely hire them again for future tree services."
Half way done.

"I have lived in my current residence for 46 years. I have two 70-foot tall ash trees in my backyard. I have the trees pruned every 4-5 years. This was the finest tree pruning work I have received in all that time. The owner should be considered to be a "Tree Whisperer." He removed dead limbs and shaped the trees in a beautiful manner. I expressly requested that tree limbs that could pose a threat to power lines be removed. In the past, other companies promised that they would perform this service when they provided the estimate but then offered a litany of excuses why they couldn't do the work at the time of service. The owner of this firm completed all of the work he promised. I could not be more pleased. After 46 years, I have finally found a quality tree pruning company. You will find no better tree service in the Denver metropolitan area !!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

The best time to cut down a tree is during its dormant season, typically in winter or early spring, after all the leaves have fallen. Removing a tree during this period is advantageous for several reasons. Frozen ground helps secure the tree stump, protects the surrounding landscape from damage, and reduces the risk of the tree falling in an unintended direction. With the leaves gone, there is less risk of the tree's foliage getting tangled with other trees. Additionally, since this is often a slower season for tree services, you may be able to hire a professional at a lower rate. This dormant period is also the best time for tree trimming.

No, homeowners insurance typically does not cover the cost of removing a dead, sick, or rotting tree that is still standing. Insurance is designed to protect against sudden and unexpected accidents, whereas a tree dying or rotting over time is considered a maintenance issue. Coverage usually only applies after a tree has fallen and caused damage to your property.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.
