Get matched with top tree service pros in Mount Crested Butte, CO

Q: Do I need a tree surgeon or just a regular tree company?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re taking down a tree that you don&rsquo;t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it&rsquo;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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tell-tree-is-dead.htm">dying trees</a> without infecting nearby trees. </p></div>

Q: Will the power company or city top my trees?

• <div><p>Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/if-tree-falls-power-line-who-responsible.htm">trees near power lines</a> (even if they&rsquo;re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won&rsquo;t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.</p></div>

Q: Do palm trees have to be trimmed every year?

• <div><p>Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It&rsquo;s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t stake a tree?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.</p></div>

Q: Should I use a pruning seal for trees after trimming?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should not use a pruning seal on trees after trimming. Applying a sealant can interfere with the tree's natural healing process, and it does not guarantee protection from pathogens. Instead of sealing the cut, the best practice is to support the tree's natural recovery by providing it with plenty of water and a dormant-style fertilizer. However, there are exceptions. Pruning seals may be recommended for very vulnerable species, like elm trees, in areas where dangerous diseases such as Dutch elm disease are prevalent. In these specific situations, the protection offered by a sealant can outweigh its downsides. For advice tailored to your situation, especially after cutting large branches, it is best to consult a local tree trimming professional.</p></div>

Good job fixing the problem. But, like most service companies, wanted to add on services I feel I did not need. Charged me an extra $75 to replace a frayed cable that took about 10 minutes. Good guys but be ready for the sales pitch for extra services you may not really need.

"I liked the way the company communicated with me throughout the whole process, even letting me know when they were in route to my house. They were very quick and cleaned up after themselves. I do not know how to rate the value for the money because I do not have anything to compare it to so I gave it a four star but I was very pleased with the service"
