Maxim's Tree Service
Maxim's Tree Service is a tree care company based in Littleton, Colorado that serves the Denver metro area, surrounding suburbs, and foothill communities. The company describes its work as helping make your trees beautiful assets to your home, covering everything from trimming and removing trees down to the ground through mitigating fire danger around properties. Tree removal is priced around the specifics of each job, including size, species, health and stability, distance from the road, nearby obstacles such as homes, wires, fences and sprinkler systems that require rigging, and any need for expedited work. Trimming spans a full range of pruning approaches: crown cleaning removes dead, diseased and weakly attached branches, crown restoration saves storm damaged trees by removing broken sections and making cuts that encourage new growth, and crown thinning, vista pruning, crown raising and reduction, shaping, and structural or correctional trimming for younger trees round out the menu. The company also grinds stumps down to below grade by six inches when possible, and notes that the property owner is responsible for marking sprinkler systems. Fire mitigation work opens the distance between trees and the house that insurance companies require to comply with standards, which can call for both removal and trimming. The site also publishes reference material on identifying Colorado trees and on the problems that show up locally, including frost injury, overwatering, drought injury, diseases, emerald ash borer and pine beetles. Maxim's Tree Service is licensed and insured, and invites customers to get in touch to schedule a free estimate and discuss the best options for their trees.

What determines the price of a tree removal?
A variety of factors influence the price of a job, including the size of the tree, its species, its health and stability, the distance from the road, nearby obstacles such as homes, wires, fences and sprinkler systems that require rigging, and any need for expedited work.
How far down do you grind a stump?
Stumps are ground down to below grade by six inches when possible. The property owner is responsible for marking sprinkler systems before the work begins.
What is involved in fire mitigation?
Insurance companies are requiring a certain distance between trees and the house to comply with standards. To achieve an acceptable space, both tree removal and trimming may be required.
When is the best time to prune my trees?
Generally it is best to do corrective pruning during the winter or summer, because in spring trees expend a lot of energy putting out new growth and in fall they are preparing for dormancy. Stone fruit trees such as peaches, plums and cherries are better pruned in midsummer to avoid silver leaf, while pome fruit trees such as pears and apples benefit from winter pruning. Removal of dead branches can be done at any time of the year.
Do you top trees?
In most cases Maxim's Tree Service considers topping an inappropriate way to control a tree's growth, since it is a temporary solution with long term consequences. One situation where heavy reduction cuts may be used is after a tree has been damaged in a storm.
