I found the company to be well organized and to communicate well in job status. The arborists themselves are knowledgeable and efficient. They confirmed details of the plan before starting. I appreciated how thoroughly they cleaned up the work site.

The technicians are knowledgeable, competent and helpful. They have been taking care of our trees for several years and keep them healthy and well trimmed. Would not use anyone else. Highly recommend.

Use Altitude Arborist biannually to treat our very large ash tree for borers. Looks much better than our neighbor’s tree the same age. Quick, professional, effective. HOA listed trees needing treatment - ours was not one.

Really great experience--after major storm damage, they set up an appointment right away, and then took great care of our tree. We'll definitely be back for future trims!

Love this company! They took over from our last tree company Healthy Trees when the owner Craig retired. We couldn’t be happier with their service!

Seriously great service. The team took down my tree, which was the biggest tree on the block, in 2 days. Now, I dont have impending doom literally hanging over my house, in every wind storm or late, wet snow storm.  It gave my neighbor's more shade than I got too, so jokes on them, enjoy the hot colorado sun!  Ill enjoy not having 200 pound branches falling on my house, or these roots destroying my plumbing.

Stump Grinding FAQs

We go to great lengths to avoid damaging your property or remaining landscape. Our team uses careful techniques and the right equipment to safeguard your landscape and structures while we work.

We remove a good portion of the root system and leave the area clean, so you’ll be able to plant shrubs or small plants in its place. That said, because we can’t remove the entire root system, we don’t recommend planting another large tree where the stump was – it’s not likely to thrive. If you want another tree in the same area, we recommend planting two to three feet away from where the previous tree was.

Not if you don’t want to be! As long as we’ve confirmed access and the plan in advance, you can go about your day.

ISA Certification means your arborist has met the highest standards of arboriculture knowledge and ethics, including extensive experience and continuing education. It’s a mark of trusted, science-based care.

We use a powerful stump grinder that chips away at the stump – typically 6-8 inches below the ground – to remove the entire above-ground stump, a majority of the root ball, and lateral roots 6-8 inches around the stump. This leaves the area level and ready for replanting or landscaping.

A small mound of chips will be left in place of the stump to fill the hole, so the area is safe and will level out when the chips settle. We typically haul away the excess chips, but can leave them if you prefer. Let us know during your estimate and we’ll include cleanup options in your quote.
