Local know-how
What we see in Lakewood yards
Many Lakewood neighborhoods were built in the decades after World War II, and the shade trees planted then are now large and mature. Siberian elms, silver maples and cottonwoods from that era grow fast but have weak wood, and we see a lot of broken limbs from them after wet spring snows. Regular pruning to thin heavy limbs, and removal of trees that are failing, keeps the risk down.
Emerald ash borer was found in Lakewood in 2024, and many streets here were planted with green ash. If you have an ash, now is the time to decide whether to protect it with injections or plan to replace it. We can tell you which makes more sense for your tree.
Lakewood licenses tree care companies separately from Denver, so check that whoever works on your trees holds a Lakewood license. Our license details are on every estimate.

4 out of 5 stars
A spring snow dropped a huge limb onto our garage roof late at night. They came out once the snow eased in the morning and lifted it off in sections. Took longer than I hoped, but they told us why.

They helped us pick a tree that will not grow into the power line, planted it at the right depth and left a watering schedule on the fridge. It leafed out well this spring.

The arborist checked our two ash trees and was honest that the small one was not worth treating. We injected the big one and replaced the small one with a different species. Clear prices for both.
