"Summit Tree Service Inc is Top Notch. Highly recommend Summit Tree Service, Inc. They did a great job taking down two 45â tall trees near our main road and utility services. Their attention to detail and clean up is amazing. The area was left in better shape than it was prior to tree removal. There is no indication that the trees taken down were ever there. They did such a thorough job cleaning up. Excellent value. Top notch company."

"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!"

"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."

"Tyler is very enthusiastic and did a great job on trees. He also found one of our trees (a Hawthorne) that wasn't growing as it should because a former owner cut off it's main stem. Tyler identified the branch that should become the main stem and told us what we should do. He even put some slip-knots on some of the branches so we can adjust where they should be or where we want them. I thought this was a very nice way of saving the tree. Now a tree we might have lost will have another chance to be a nice shapely tree. We will call Ullr next time we need tree care."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

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.

Cutting down a tree next to power lines is never a DIY job, and it’s a good idea to contact your utility company first. In most cases, the utility company will need to take care of any tree problems within 10 to 15 feet of power lines. If you want to remove the tree for aesthetic reasons, hire a pro to do the job. Trying to cut trees near power lines yourself can create many safety hazards, and you could be liable if you inadvertently cause damage to electrical equipment.

Leaving the tree stump and letting it rot is never a good idea, as this leads to insect infestations and other frustrations. Additionally, decomposing trunks are at risk for diseases that spread out to the remaining plants and trees in the yard, thus ruining your whole outdoor aesthetic. It's usually best to remove the stump at the same time you remove the tree.
