"I called David because I needed 300 trees removed from my mountain house. He drove from denver to Breckenridge in 2 hours and gave me a quote to do the job. He started the next day and was done in 3 days. The best service ever. His work was perfect!"

"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."

"David and his crew did a great job installing our new irrigation and sprinkler system - their service is EXCELLENT. David is both accessible and responsive as there were a few times when we had extra requests (tree pruning and stump removal) and he will make time for you and your specific needs. His crew's flexibility and ability to show up when needed to help (i.e. adjust drip line for backyard plantings) is a real value for the money/investment to a project. I will hire them again for my other landscaping needs."

"These are really great guys! We hired them to trim a rather large, overgrown tree in the backyard, and they did a fantastic job! The cost was very reasonable, less than the other quotes I had received. I will absolutely call them the next time we need tree service!"

"Among other things I had two large cottonwood tree surrounded by junipers and next to a fence. Crew was able to get the trees out with the fence still intact, and did some additional trimming as well. They were very efficient and did a great job."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You will know that an oak tree needs to be removed when you see vertical cracks or dead branch stubs, which indicate internal decay. Other signs include trunk rot near the base of the tree and sprouts or small branches coming from the trunk.

If you’re taking down a tree that you don’t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it’s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or dying trees without infecting nearby trees. 

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

Yes, it’s okay to trim low branches on a tree, also known as limbing up or raising the crown. Essentially, you’ll trim the lower third of the tree (trunk) and leave the upper two-thirds of the tree (crown). Arborists recommend trimming 20% of a tree’s leaves per season for two to three seasons. Trimming low branches allows light to flow through the tree, increasing circulation and making the tree stronger and healthier.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.
