"Uprooted Tree Service has worked on several of our properties in Southwest Colorado. We are fortunate to have found them! Not only does Robert understand what the tree "wants", but also understands what the customer wants and needs. HUGE trees have been beautifully managed: elms, aspens, cottonwoods, and conifers. He understands soil, moisture content and watering, and a clients budget. He was able to remove two giant aspens from our yard without using a boom truck, which would have ruined other landscaping. On-time, on-budget, and leaves the job site very neat."

"I hired Kameron and his team to cut down and remove a huge cottonwood tree that was located on side of a steep hill behind my house. This was no ordinary tree removal job. Several other tree cutting services would not give me a quote because of the difficulty of the tree removal. I cannot say enough good things about their work ethic and focus on safety. Kameron and his crew were very professional and extremely hard working. If you want it done right at a reasonable price Colorado Cut Tree Services does outstanding work! I highly recommend them!"

"You could not do better than Tony and Sebastian Shelby. They did spring cleanup, an enormous amount of leaves, power washed the deck, and painted all my flower boxes. The work was meticulous. They go above and beyond what is asked and respond to texts and phone calls quickly."

"Luke was amazing. He gave us a quick quote that was reasonable. He started and worked when he said he would. He kept us updated and sent pictures afterward. The quality of his work was excellent. I was so pleased with his work. He went above and beyond by doing a couple extra things for us as we were out of state. I would and will recommend him to anyone looking for a professional quality painter!"
After.. what an amazing difference!

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Since each tree is different, it’s impossible to say how long a dead tree can remain on your property. While it could be days, months, or even years, it’s highly likely that, at some point, the tree will fall. In the meantime, dying or dead trees can become a haven for pests, so it’s best to have them removed sooner rather than later.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

Pruning can impact cold hardiness—but it’s less about the exact temperature and more about temperature variation. Generally, you don’t want to prune trees when there’s a risk of temperatures suddenly dropping from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A tree is most sensitive until 48 hours after it’s pruned.

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.

Early signs that a tree is struggling include premature leaf shedding and lesions or other strange markings. Peeling bark, dead or rotten branches on the ground, and a conspicuous lack of leaves can all be signs that a tree has started to die. By the time a tree starts leaning, it’s usually too far gone to save.
