"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!!"

"Carlos & his help did a fantastic job in cutting down a multi-trunked scrub oak without damaging any of my wife's garden vegetables. They then proceed to cut down and remove a spruce hedge. They cleaned up and left our backyard in good shape. It was very impressive and hopefully I can use them for other tasks in the future."

"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!"

Hi, I’m Louis. I take a lot of pride in keeping homes clean and taken care of. I’ve been managing and cleaning a family Airbnb for about a year, and I always go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect for each guest. I handle everything from cleaning the entire house and restocking supplies to taking care of the hot tub, checking the mail, and even starting vehicles when needed.\n\nI’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every home like it’s my own. If you’re looking for someone who really cares and makes sure things are done right, I’m the person for the job.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.

A tree growing close to a house can pose several risks, but removal isn't always the only or best solution. Potential problems include roots growing into the foundation and causing structural cracks, branches damaging the roof or promoting moss growth, and debris clogging gutters, which can lead to water damage. Trees can also provide access for pests and encourage mold. However, a small, healthy tree may not be a problem, and for larger, established trees, strategic trimming can be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative to removal. It is generally recommended to take action for trees within 10 to 20 feet of your home, especially if they are unhealthy or encroaching. Your best bet is to consult a professional arborist who can assess the specific situation and provide expert advice.

You should avoid cutting off the top of mature cherry trees. This process is called tree topping, and it’s not recommended for cherry trees—or any trees, for that matter. Tree topping removes between one-third to half of the length of the tree trunk, resulting in structurally unsound, fruitless suckers. The only exception is for saplings. Young pie, sour, and tart cherry trees that are over 30 inches tall in the fall or winter before the tree blooms can benefit from heading cuts.
