"We hired Wise Tree Service, LLC for fire mitigation at our cabin outside Westcliffe. We were quoted a fair price, and we were extra happy they were able to do this job while we were on site. The crew was nice, professional, and efficient. They were done in about 4 hours, and did a great job! That made the price even better. If we need tree service again, we know who we'll be calling!"

"Forrest did not come in with the lowest bid but sometimes that little extra cost can give you peace of mind. The quality of the work and professionalism of this company was topnotch. I have a 120-year-old home and was concerned about windows and landscape being damaged. But they did a great job taking care of my home and were extremely knowledgeable arborists. I had some very high mature trees, and they were very skilled trimming these. They even went above and beyond to haul away some old branches and debris from the vacant driveway next door. Everyone there was polite and professional. I would definitely hire them again. My only issue - and it was a small one - was that I paid cash but had to wait a few days for the receipt."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You’ll have to balance up the cost, the value of the tree (sentimental or otherwise), and the risk factors. An experienced arborist will help you understand whether transplanting is likely to be successful. The cost and hassle of transplanting a large, well-established tree are often not worth it, especially if the species is fast-growing and easy to source. The decision depends on the age and species of the tree, the conditions in the new site location, and how careful the company is when digging out and moving the tree.

Whether you should remove the roots of a dead tree depends on whether they’re damaging nearby areas. For instance, if the roots continue to grow near sidewalks, driveways, or the foundation of your home, they can cause damage. If you want to plant something else in that spot, removing the roots can make it easier for the new tree or plant to grow.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

If you’re looking to rot a tree stump fast, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place.
