"We were very pleased with the work done by D & D Tree Service and Landscape. Daniel was polite and professional. Daniel and team did an excellent job of trimming three trees for us and cleaning up after the work was completed. Daniel not only saw to it that the work was being done right but also did the work. We would definitely hire them again."

"I am not saavy on the going rate for services but I had a good feeling when I met with Nikesh,one of the owners. His bid was the median estimate of the three companies I interviewed. Four young men showed up and worked for about 3 hours to professionally trim this beautiful ash in my back patio. They were concerned about my vision for the tree and the health of the tree itself. They hauled off branches and disposed of them in their chipper. They raked up leaves from the patio and cut some branches for future firewood for a mountain cabin. They worked well as a team. Plan on giving their name to our HOA and management company. Each one answered my questions while they were working. They were fully insured. Gratefully, Tudi T. , Glenn Oaks condos"

"I hired Denver Tree Care, LLC to remove a 45-foot tall cottonwood tree in my backyard that was next to a fence and a retaining wall and that overhung my neighbor's yard. They did great work and I was impressed with their skill and know-how to delicately lower the large branches down without damaging anything on the ground. They also did a great job cleaning up once they were finished with the work. Overall, I had a very good experience with Denver Tree Care, LLC and would recommend them to others."

"R&M Tree Service did a great job trimming our trees and they even threw in raking the grass under one of the trees when they were done. They also offered to help us with a big yard/junk clean-up. Mike, with R&M found a dumpster service for us and scheduled it. He and his crew came out and did a top notch job cleaning up the mess. Mike has excellent customer service and communication. R&M is now our go-to company for tree and plant trimming. We highly recommend them!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A tree can grow back from its stump, but full regrowth is unlikely (especially for more stubborn conifer trees). Instead, trees are more likely to send up a number of shoots from the dead stump, which will try to develop into primary stems over time. In other words, it will start to look increasingly bushy. The goal of killing and drying out a tree stump is to prevent that from happening, as well as make the stump easier to completely remove.

Generally, you do not have the right to take fruit from a neighbor's tree, even if the branches overhang your property. The fruit is considered the property of the tree's owner. While you may have the right to trim branches that cross into your yard, the fruit on them typically still belongs to your neighbor. However, laws can vary by state and municipality. In some areas, branches that extend into your yard or trees that straddle a property line may entitle you to some of the fruit. The best course of action is to speak with your neighbor, as they may be happy to share. If a conversation is not possible, check your local regulations before picking any fruit.

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.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.
