"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."

"We had a bit of trouble finding a time that would work for both of us, but when we dud finally get together, he and his helper made short work of trimming my tree. They cleaned branches and leaves up very well, so when tgey left, there was not a trace of them being here. Tree looks great, too. I would certainly recommend him."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

Hiring an arborist costs around $900 on average, with prices ranging from $250 to $2,500 or more. Some arborists charge an hourly rate, typically between $100 and $350 per hour. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of work, the number of trees, accessibility, and whether you hire an independent arborist or a larger tree service company. When hiring, you should also consider their experience and insurance coverage.

Below are some estimated costs for common arborist jobs:

  • Small tree removal: $300 to $500

  • Large tree removal: $500 to $2,000 or more

  • Tree health assessment: $150

  • Trimming a small tree: $75 to $200

  • Trimming a large tree: $150 to $400

  • Dealing with invasive species: $150 to $1,000 or more

Burning a tree stump can be effective, but it comes with safety considerations and isn’t always best for every situation. It's essential to check local regulations and assess the safety risks involved. Stumps that are near wooden structures or other non-moveable flammable objects aren’t good candidates for burning due to the risk of the fire spreading. Alternatives like grinding or a DIY stump rotting project might be safer and quicker for getting the job done.

The costs vary from $250 to $5,000 per tree, depending on the size, complexity of the trimming, and labor.

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.
