"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."

"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."

"Cesar and his crew did an excellent job. We needed 4 fruit trees pruned. All the trees now look beautiful and healthy. The crew thoroughly cleaned up after the job and stacked up wood for us to use in the fireplace this winter. Highly recommend."

"Alex is very thorough and takes pride in his work. He maintains my yards to keep them looking as good as possible. I would definitely recommend him to do anything related to landscaping and irrigation systems. Alex shows up for every job too, not just his hired help. That makes a difference to me."

"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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Yes, forestry mulching can grind stumps, but the level of effectiveness depends on the equipment used. Drum mulchers can break down smaller stumps, but larger or deep-rooted stumps may require a dedicated stump grinder for complete removal. If full stump removal is necessary for replanting or construction, additional excavation may be needed. Always check with your forestry mulching provider to confirm whether they offer stump grinding and if their equipment is suitable for your specific needs.

Leaving a dead tree can expose your other trees to potential diseases, pests, and fungi, and it can also be a hazard. If your tree is dead, then you should hire a tree maintenance service to remove it. Cutting down trees is extremely dangerous, and a professional can ensure no one gets hurt and there is no damage to your property. Tree removal costs between $200 and $2,000 and will prevent future issues and keep you and your property safe.

There are a few differences between tree guying and tree staking. Tree guying requires anchor stakes that are shorter and stronger than regular stakes and are driven deeper into the ground at an angle away from the tree. Tree staking uses longer stakes that are set parallel to the tree and are used for smaller trees. Consult a local tree professional to determine which method is best for your tree.

Peach trees grow to be about 25 feet, so keep this in mind for pruning as well. If you plan to DIY, you’ll need to be comfortable working on a ladder. Without pruning, peach tree branches can sprawl nearly as wide as the tree grows tall, so make sure to plan pruning sessions at least once per year in the spring for controlled growth. And if you’re working on a ladder, be sure to follow all safety precautions, especially if you’ll be dealing with falling branches.

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.
