"The most incredible people Iâ ve ever worked with. They were beyond professional. They tried so hard to please. They cleaned up extremely well when they were finished and made sure everything was performed for the customer. The price was more than reasonable. I would hire these people again and highly recommend them for your tree service."

"They did an excellent job removing the old dead Aspen tree that was in front of our house, and then we ended up planting smoke trees and they are lovely. They also sprayed the trees on our property and they all look like their health is improving. I would highly recommend this company."

"Our neighbors tree was growing over our yard, and causing a real mess. Montoya Land Scaping came out and trimmed it and did a beautiful job and cleaned up after themselves. Leroy also sprayed the tree to keep bugs from getting in it after trimming it. Leroy Montoya was extremely kind and very professional. Any yardwork I need need done in the future. I will definitely call Leroy. I’m very picky, and I would highly recommend Montoya Land Scaping."

"These folks (2 men and 1 woman) took care of the tree limbs hanging over our house quickly and efficiently. Plus, they are nice people! Doing business with them was easy. They arrived a bit early and cleaned everything up when they were done. We will most definitely call on them again if we need more work done."

"Charles and Lorenzo are first-rate, knowledgeable, hard-working professionals. We will have them taking care of our landscaping needs from now on. Charles and Lorenzo were friendly, courteous, and above all professional and efficient. I was very impressed in that after the job had been completed they were more than happy to offer suggestions and advice on how to maintain and take care of minor concerns not associated with the original agreement - talk about establishing goodwill with their clients. Because of the above-mentioned and the overall excellent quality of the work, I will be using High Country Landscaping on a permanent basis."

"Jason promptly responded to my inquiry. Called me to go over the details of my pool needs. Was able to set up an appointment within 48 hours. He assessed, pleasantly explained, and even willing to teach a bit on how the management of the pool should be handled. Hired him for maintenace for the whole summer so that we can enjoy the pool we worked so hard to have."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

An arborist specializes in tree care, performing tasks such as pruning, treating diseases, and removing hazardous trees. They also assess soil conditions, plant trees, and develop landscaping plans to ensure healthy growth. They also manage debris cleanup, inspect equipment, and record maintenance activities. Arborists often collaborate with landscapers and professional tree maintenance services, applying their specialized knowledge and problem-solving skills to maintain tree health and safety.

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.

While palm trees can bring aesthetic appeal to your yard, they have a couple of drawbacks. The main disadvantage is that many types require warm climates, so if you live in a cold region, you need to ensure you pick a palm that can withstand the freezing temperatures. Another downside is that maintenance can be difficult because of their height, which means you will need to pay a pro to prune the tree as needed.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

Yes, tree roots can regenerate after they’re pruned or cut. In fact, trimming can stimulate new growth, especially in healthy trees. The tree’s roots can still grow back even after a tree is cut down, (and learning how to get rid of regrowing tree roots is a separate feat). Still, if you don’t wish to harm a tree, pruning the roots should be done with extreme care, and ideally by a professional.
