"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!"

"Edge and Ivory responded to my request quickly and next day came to our home for a free assessment. They quoted us fairly, and we were on the schedule within the week. They did an amazing job! Our yard is completely transformed, and they did exactly what we asked. We would recommend Edge and Ivory to anyone looking for landscaping services and look forward to future projects with them."

"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

A tree can split because of high winds, a change in temperature, or from an infestation or tree disease. All of these factors can overlap, making a single cause difficult to pinpoint. While winter storms are some of the most common causes for a tree to split, it can also happen because of termites or rot.

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

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.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.
