"Excellent service. Prompt evaluation. Reasonable price. On time for the job. They cleaned everything up. Also, communicated everything they were doing and why. We had a large tree that had several years of neglect, it now looks beautiful. They also removed a row bushes that my wife hated. Thank you Daniel and team!"

"Mike and his team did a great job taking down a large cottonwood that had grown far too close to my home. They were careful to not damage anything while removing the tree and cleaned-up all the debris when finishing. The entire operation was completed in 4 - 5 hours, very impressive and charged a fair price for the project!!"

"John is an incredibly knowledgeable arborist who clearly understands trees and the issues they face here in Colorado. We had two pines that he ended up removing and replacing with Junipers. He gave us options to treat or replace. John took the time to walk through both options plus provided several tree replacement options to chose from. Highly recommend his expertise and honest approach."

"Steve at Premier Stump Grinding was great to work with. We had a dead tree stump in our front yard that he was so quick to remove, we barely even knew he was there. Our front yard looks so much better thanks to him!"

"Hampden Family Pet Hospital has worked with Yvonned & Chris since 1/2016 for our landscaping and snow removal. Their pricing is very competitive, the customer service is excellent (We had an experience where the plow truck broke one of the cement parking lot stones. I called Yvonne & Chris and sent them a photo. They were out the same day to assess the damage, ordered a replacement, and installed it in a few days. I wish all of my vendors had the same character and professionalism. Maria D-Hospital Director"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

In nature, there are many things that can cause a tree to die, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.
