Learn the warning signs, how trunk and soil injections work, which ash trees are worth treating, and when removal is the better choice. Free assessments from ISA Certified Arborists. In short: Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive beetle whose larvae feed under the bark of ash trees and kill them in 2–5 years. It was confirmed in the Denver area in 2025, after being found in Littleton in 2023. Healthy, valued ash trees can be protected with systemic insecticide. We use trunk injections for trees over 8 inches in diameter and soil injections for smaller trees. Treatment must continue over the long term. Declining or poorly placed ash trees are usually better removed and replaced. - Status: Confirmed in Denver, 2025 (Littleton, 2023) - Time to kill: 2–5 years once infested - Treatment: Systemic insecticide; trunk injection over 8" DBH, soil injection under - Best timing: Soil: March–April · Trunk: May–June - Assessment: Free: call 303.639.8584 ## What Emerald Ash Borer is and why it matters EAB is a wood-boring insect accidentally transported from Asia and first found in North America in 2002 in southeastern Michigan. It infests and kills every North American ash species ( Fraxinus ), including green, white, black and blue ash and their cultivars. The larvae feed under the bark, cutting off the flow of water and nutrients, and infested trees die from the top of the canopy down over roughly two to five years. Infestation is fatal to healthy ash trees unless they are treated. Ash is one of the most common trees in Colorado communities, and in Michigan the largest cost fell on towns that had to remove thousands of dead trees at once. Many were hazardous and expensive to remove. An early assessment gives Denver homeowners and HOAs time to plan. ## Signs your ash tree may be infested Thinning canopy , usually starting at the top of the tree D-shaped exit holes about an eighth of an inch across in the bark Bark splits exposing S-shaped larval galleries beneath Woodpecker damage as birds go after the larvae Sprouts at the base of the trunk or along the lower stem Don't confuse EAB with the native lilac ash borer , a clearwing moth that prefers already-stressed trees, favors white ash and lays eggs low on the trunk early in the season. EAB is a metallic beetle that favors green ash and lays eggs on bark throughout the tree from late May to early July. An arborist can tell them apart on site. ## How treatment works and when to schedule it Treatment means protecting the tree with systemic insecticide, and it is a long-term commitment: treatments may be needed for the rest of the tree's life. Trees have been saved with treatment in heavily infested Midwestern cities, though no method carries a 100% guarantee. Trunk injection has shown better control than soil-applied products. The treatment method depends on the size of the tree. Ash under 8 inches in diameter at breast height gets a soil injection , most effective in March and April. Trees over 8 inches get a trunk injection , most effective in May and June. Price depends on the size of the tree, and every estimate is free. ## Treat or remove? Which ash trees are worth saving Worth treating: ash trees that are healthy and vigorous with more than 30–50% of their leaves, that enhance the landscape, or that you value. Better removed and replaced: weak or unhealthy ash, trees planted in poor sites, trees that aren't important to the landscape, and any tree already showing signs of infestation. Trees in poor health rarely respond well to treatment, and for a small or struggling ash it is often more cost-effective to replace it than to pay for ongoing treatment. Removal is easier and less disruptive in winter, when the ground is firm and pests are dormant. See our tree removal and planting services if you decide to replace. ## What you can do now Find out whether the trees in your yard are ash. Book a free assessment so a certified arborist can rate each tree's health and recommend treatment, monitoring or removal. If treating, schedule it for the effective window (spring soil injection or early-summer trunk injection). Share this with neighbors and your HOA: the earlier a block acts, the fewer emergency removals later. American Arbor Care has certified arborists on staff and holds the licenses, insurance and qualifications required by the Colorado Department of Agriculture to apply pesticides. Current EAB locations are published by the USDA EAB story map and CSU Extension . ## FAQ **Has Emerald Ash Borer reached Denver?** Yes. EAB was found in Littleton in 2023 and confirmed in the Denver area in 2025. Anyone with ash trees should have an arborist assess them. **How fast does EAB kill a tree?** Infested trees decline from the top of the canopy down and are typically dead within two to five years if untreated, even if they were healthy before the attack. **Can an infested ash tree be saved?** Sometimes, if it is still healthy with most of its canopy. Trees already showing clear symptoms usually don't respond well, which is why early assessment matters. **How is EAB treated?** With systemic insecticide. American Arbor Care soil-injects trees under 8 inches in diameter (March–April) and trunk-injects larger trees (May–June). Treatments may be needed for the life of the tree. **How much does EAB treatment cost?** Price depends on the size of the tree. Estimates are free, and for a small or struggling ash it may be more cost-effective to remove and replace it than to treat it indefinitely. **Should I just remove my ash tree?** If it is weak, poorly sited, unimportant to the landscape or already infested, removal and replacement is usually the better investment. Healthy, valued ash trees are worth protecting. --- # How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in Denver? URL: https://americanarborcare.com/tree-removal-cost-denver/ Summary: Learn what affects tree removal cost in Denver: tree size, access, complexity and timing. See what American Arbor Care includes in a free, itemized estimate. In short: Tree removal cost in Denver depends on size, access, complexity and urgency. A tree in an open yard is a different job from one hanging over a garage. American Arbor Care assesses each tree and provides a free, itemized quote. - Priced by: Size & height · access · complexity · urgency - Pricing: Itemized for each tree - Stump: Grinding is a separate line item - Best season: Winter: easier access, dormant pests - Estimate: Free & itemized: 303.639.8584 ## The four factors that set the price Four factors determine the work, equipment and time a removal needs: Size and height. A 70-foot cottonwood needs more cuts, rigging and hauling than a 20-foot ornamental. Location and accessibility. A tree in an open front yard can often be felled in sections from the ground. One wedged between a house, a fence and power lines has to be dismantled piece by piece with ropes, an aerial lift or a crane. Complexity. Dead or storm-damaged wood is unpredictable and needs slower, safer rigging. Trees leaning over structures, or with multiple trunks, take longer. Emergency removal versus standard scheduling. A tree on a roof after a storm has to happen now; a planned removal can wait for the most efficient slot on our calendar. ## Why we don't publish a price list Two trees of the same species can be very different jobs: one stands in an open yard, the other over a garage with power lines through the canopy. A certified arborist checks the tree, access and drop zone, then writes an itemized estimate. It lists removal, cleanup and hauling, with stump grinding quoted separately. The estimate is free and comes with no continuing service agreement. If you're comparing quotes, make sure each one covers the same scope: full cleanup, chipping, hauling, and proof of licensing and insurance. ## What's included in an American Arbor Care removal An on-site assessment by a certified arborist to plan equipment and methods An itemized, written estimate with no continuing service agreement required Safe removal by a licensed, insured crew working to OSHA and ANSI Z133 standards, using aerial lifts and rope-and-saddle systems as the site requires Thorough cleanup and brush chipping, with wood hauled away Optional stump grinding , quoted as its own line so you can decide We call in utility locates before any grinding, and only trees in the public right-of-way ("tree lawn") need a City of Denver permit. We'll assess the job and help with the permit if one is required. ## How to keep the cost down Schedule in winter. Frozen ground protects your lawn, leafless canopies are easier to work, and most pests and diseases are dormant, so removal is smoother and less invasive. Don't wait on a dead tree. Dead wood becomes brittle. That makes it more dangerous and more expensive to rig as time passes. Bundle work. Pruning other trees or grinding a second stump while the crew and equipment are on site costs less than a separate visit. Ask about discounts. We offer a 5% senior or veteran discount and a 5% pre-payment discount on tree and lawn care treatments paid before March 31. ## FAQ **How much does it cost to remove a tree in Denver?** It depends on the tree's size and height, how accessible it is, how complex the removal is and whether it's an emergency. Because every tree and property is different, American Arbor Care quotes each tree individually. Estimates are free and itemized. **Is stump grinding included in tree removal?** It's quoted separately so you can choose. Stumps are typically ground 18–20 inches deep, and we call in utility locates first. **Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Denver?** Only if the tree is in the public right-of-way, or 'tree lawn'. Otherwise no permit is needed. We assess the job and assist with the permit if one is required. **When is the cheapest time to remove a tree?** Winter. The ground is firm, canopies are bare, pests are dormant and scheduling is more flexible, which makes the job faster and less disruptive. **Are estimates free?** Yes. Call or text 303.639.8584 or use the contact form; we can meet you on site or leave the estimate at your door. --- # How Much Does Stump Grinding Cost in Denver? URL: https://americanarborcare.com/stump-grinding-cost-denver/ Summary: Learn how stump size, count, access and surface roots affect stump grinding cost in Denver. See what the work includes. Free estimates from American Arbor Care. In short: Stump grinding is priced mainly by the stump's diameter, how many stumps there are, and how easy the spot is to reach. Doing several stumps in one visit costs less per stump. American Arbor Care grinds stumps of any size, typically 18–20 inches deep, and quotes every job for free. - Priced by: Diameter · number of stumps · access · roots - Pricing: Per stump; less each when several are done together - Depth: Usually 18–20 inches - Time on site: About one to a couple of hours - Estimate: Free: 303.639.8584 ## What sets the price Stump diameter. Grinding time grows with the width of the stump and its flare, so a 30-inch cottonwood stump costs more than a 10-inch ornamental. Number of stumps. Once the grinder is on site, additional stumps cost less each. Access. Stumps close to fences, buildings or utilities take more care. If a stump sits right against a fence we may temporarily remove a section and put it back afterward. Roots. We grind surface roots as well as the stump when you want the area ready for sod or replanting. Depth. We grind as deep as the site allows, usually 18–20 inches. Nearby utility lines are the main limit. Utility locates are called before every job. ## Getting an accurate quote Measure the stump at its widest point at ground level. Note any surface roots you want ground and take a photo of the surrounding area. Send us those details to help us prepare your estimate. If the stump came from a tree we removed, grinding is quoted as its own line on the same estimate. Either way the estimate is free. ## What happens on the day Most jobs take an hour to a couple of hours. The grinder chips the stump below grade, and we typically leave the wood chips in the hole as backfill. The chips settle and decay over time. If you'd rather, we can haul some of the mulch away. You can replant or lay sod right away. Our crews take care to minimize any impact on the surrounding lawn and landscaping. ## Grinding versus full stump removal Grinding leaves the root system to decay in place and is the fastest, least disruptive option for almost every yard. Full removal also digs out the root ball. It costs more and disturbs more ground, so it is usually reserved for sites where a structure or hardscape will replace the tree. See our stump removal page for that option. ## FAQ **How much does stump grinding cost in Denver?** It depends on the stump's diameter, how many stumps you have and how accessible they are; several stumps in one visit cost less per stump. American Arbor Care quotes each job for free. **How deep do you grind?** As deep as the site allows, typically 18–20 inches. Nearby utility lines are the usual limit, and we call in locates before every job. **How long does stump grinding take?** In most cases anywhere from an hour to a couple of hours, depending on the scope of the job. **Can I plant right after stump grinding?** Yes. You can replant or lay sod immediately if you choose. **What happens to the wood chips?** We normally leave them to backfill the hole, which prevents a trip hazard; they decay and settle over time. We can remove some on request. **Can you grind a stump next to a fence or building?** Yes, within reason. Very close to a fence we may temporarily remove a section and restore it afterward. --- # How Much Does Professional Holiday Lighting Cost in Denver? URL: https://americanarborcare.com/holiday-lighting-cost-denver/ Summary: What professional Christmas light installation costs in Denver: the first-year purchase model, what drives the price, what later seasons cost, when to book, and what's included with American Arbor Care. In short: Holiday lighting cost depends on the size of your property and the design. Long rooflines and large tree wraps need more lights and labor than a simple entry. You buy and keep the LEDs in year one; later seasons cover installation, maintenance and takedown. Estimates are free. - Priced by: Property size · roofline length · tree wraps · design complexity - Year one: Includes the commercial-grade LEDs you keep - Later years: Labor, maintenance & takedown only - Book by: End of September for lights before Thanksgiving - Estimate: Free: 303.639.8584 ## How the pricing works Your display is priced from two things: the size of the property and the complexity of the design. A single-story roofline with an entry accent is a small job; high rooflines, multiple peaks and large tree wraps take more material, more time and specialized equipment. You own the lights. We buy commercial-grade LEDs cut to fit your roofline. Your first-year price includes the materials. In later seasons, you pay for installation, maintenance and takedown. There are no rental fees. ## What moves the price up or down Roofline length and height. Two-story rooflines and steep pitches take longer and need lift equipment. Tree and shrub wraps. A mature tree takes more lights and installation time than a small shrub. Our crews have the climbing skills and equipment for tall trees. Extras. Walkway and entry lighting, LED wreaths and pre-lit greenery add materials and installation time. Commercial scope. HOAs, retail centers, restaurants and hotels are quoted on the same factors at a larger scale. Storage. Optional off-season storage is available so the lights are ready next year. ## What's included A design consultation: we evaluate the property and lay out a custom design around its architecture and features Commercial-grade LEDs in your choice of colors and bulb styles, purchased for your home and owned by you Installation by trained, licensed and insured crews In-season maintenance if a section goes dark Post-season takedown, with optional storage Our crew handles the ladders, rooflines and tree climbing. You choose the display. ## When to book Book before the end of September if you want lights up for Thanksgiving. Installation dates often fill 6–8 weeks ahead; contact us to confirm availability. ## FAQ **How much does Christmas light installation cost in Denver?** It depends on the size of the property and the complexity of the design. Because American Arbor Care buys commercial-grade LEDs on your behalf, year one includes materials you will own; later seasons cost significantly less because you pay only for labor, maintenance and takedown. Estimates are free. **Do I have to buy the lights?** We purchase commercial-grade LEDs for your home and you own them. They are brighter and more durable than big-box lights, cut to fit your roofline, and reusable every year with no rental fees. **When should I schedule?** Before the end of September if you want lights up before Thanksgiving. Calendars typically fill 6–8 weeks ahead. **Do you take the lights down?** Yes. Post-season takedown is part of the service, and off-season storage is available as an option. **Do you light trees as well as rooflines?** Yes. We install roofline and gutter lighting, tree and shrub wraps (including large mature trees), walkway and entry lighting, wreaths and greenery. **Do you do commercial holiday lighting?** Yes, for HOAs, apartment complexes, retail centers, restaurants and hotels. --- # Denver Arborists Since 1995 | American Arbor Care URL: https://americanarborcare.com/about/ Summary: Meet American Arbor Care, a family-owned Denver tree care company since 1995.

Shrubs need room to grow and pruning at the right time. Our Certified Arborists assess the species, shape and condition before recommending a trim. American Arbor Care has served Denver since 1995. ## Trimming vs. Pruning: What is the Difference? While many people assume trimming and pruning mean the same thing, they are actually two different services that achieve unique goals for your shrubs and bushes. Shrub Trimming Trimming focuses on maintaining the shrub’s desired shape and overall appearance. When we trim, we typically use power hedge trimmers or shears to skim the tops and sides of shrubs to help keep them in top shape. This creates a clean, uniform, manicured look that is great for hedges, border plants, and formal landscapes. Regular bush trimming is part of regular maintenance and helps produce well maintained bushes; most shrubs need trimming at least once a year. Shrub Pruning Pruning a shrub involves removing dead, dying, or diseased branches using selective, targeted cuts. We use hand pruners to cut at specific branch junctions, which is much different than the trimming technique of skimming the surface of the shrub. Pruning promotes healthy new growth by improving air circulation throughout the plant, and it plays an important role in extending the life the plant. The timing of pruning is critical to its success. If you prune at the wrong time of the season, you could overly stress the plant or remove next year’s flower buds. ## Why Shrub Trimming in Denver Requires Local Expertise If you want your shrubs to thrive, hire an expert to handle the shrub trimming and pruning. American Arbor Care provides a full range of shrub-care support, with bush trimming as part of broader lawn care and landscape upkeep in Denver. There are a lot of landscaping challenges in Denver, and you want someone on hand who knows how to meet the challenges and keep your shrubs healthy year after year. For example, Denver’s high altitude means we experience intense levels of UV rays. This accelerates growth during the spring and summer months, and Denver’s climate can change shrub growth patterns quickly, making proper timing important. A shrub that looks tidy at the beginning of the growing season can quickly become overgrown. Summer in Denver is over all too soon, and we can experience early fall freezes (as well as late spring frosts) which can leave shrubs with freeze-damaged branches. These need to be removed at the right times to allow healthy regrowth. Denver’s soil types are also a challenge to local homeowners. We are known for alkaline, clay-heavy soils, and these soil conditions can affect plant health in ways that make shrubs more vulnerable to disease. If they are improperly trimmed or pruned at the wrong time of year, the stress multiplies, making it difficult for your shrubs to thrive. One of the things we love about Denver’s neighborhoods is the variety of flowering shrubs, evergreen bushes, and ornamental hedges that can be found on residential and commercial properties. Each shrub type has different growth patterns and timing needs. If you cut at the wrong time or prune too aggressively, you could remove next season’s blooms or permanently damage the plant’s structure. Moreover, you could create entry points for pests and disease. ## Our Bush & Shrub Trimming Services American Arbor Care offers comprehensive trimming and pruning services for a wide range of shrubs, bushes, hedges, and ornamental plants. We approach every job with arborist-level knowledge that cares for the whole plant, not just cosmetic shaping. Hedge & Border Shrub Trimming Our hedge and border shrub trimming service includes: Precision shaping of hedges and border shrubs Regular trimming schedules tailored to growth rate and species Clean-up of all trimmings and debris after each visit Your hedges and border shrubs will look clean and consistent under our care. Even after the first trimming, you will notice hedge trimming boosts curb appeal and improves the overall appearance of your outdoor space. Throughout the growing season, you can expect full, dense, and uniform hedges with no overgrowth blocking your walkways, block windows, or sight lines. If you have a fast-growing shrub, like privet, we will ensure it gets more frequent attention than a slower-growing shrub, like boxwood. Quote amounts can vary based on shrub size and accessibility issues. Ornamental Bush & Flowering Shrub Pruning Pruning ornamental bushes and flowering shrubs includes: Selective hand pruning of dead or weak branches, or branches that are crossing each other Spring-flowering shrubs (like lilac and forsythia) are pruned right after they bloom, because proper timing helps protect next season’s buds Summer-flowering shrubs are pruned in late winter or early spring Use of thinning cuts to open up the canopy and improve airflow and sunlight penetration in dense shrubs Getting the timing right is key for pruning services. Our arborist expertise helps us maximize blooming year after year by preserving the flower buds. We also strive to extend the lifespan of ornamental plants that would otherwise become overgrown and woody. Proper pruning also supports fuller growth and a natural form that is wider at the bottom than the top for better light access. You can depend on us to employ proper pruning techniques to improve plant structure and reduce the risk of storm damage to top-heavy branches. After pruning, shrubs may also need deep watering during extended dry periods to support recovery. Evergreen & Conifer Shrub Trimming Denver abounds with junipers, arborvitae, and spruce shrubs, and we have the evergreen and conifer shrub trimming services to care for them. Our services include: Careful trimming of evergreen shrubs Correct timing of the trimming (typically late spring, after the new growth has hardened off) Shaping of the shrub to maintain a natural, proportionate appearance that does not look over-sheared Unlike deciduous shrubs, many conifers cannot regenerate growth from bare wood, so cuts must be made into green, live tissue. Our arborists will handle these trimming jobs with precise care, maintaining year-round visual appeal. We keep evergreen shrubs looking full and healthy without creating bare patches, and we protect the plant’s structure against harsh winter weather. Overgrown Shrub Restoration If your shrubs have become overgrown or neglected, rely on us for restoration services, which include: Assessment of each shrub by a certified arborist who will determine whether it will require restoration or replacement A restoration plan that accounts for several factors, including species, age, and condition, before deciding whether pruning or replacement is best A phased pruning plan to gradually bring overgrown shrubs back to a healthy size and shape over one or two growing seasons to support plant health without cutting more than the shrub can handle at once If your overgrown shrub can be revived with proper care, you can save the cost of a full shrub replacement. We know that using a single, aggressive cut to a neglected shrub could kill it, which is why our shrub restoration services are not a one-time fix. Some shrubs, such as spirea, can tolerate very hard cutbacks in the right situation, including removal of up to 90% of growth. We restore overgrown landscapes to a clean, manageable condition with long-term plans. ## When is the Best Time to Trim Shrubs in Denver? Because timing is so crucial when trimming shrubs, it’s important to know the timeframe for specific types of shrubs and bushes, since the right schedule depends on the shrub type and its flowering habit. Here are the guidelines we follow here in Denver: Spring-flowering shrubs , such as lilac, forsythia, and viburnum, should be pruned right after they finish blooming, typically late spring. Pruning earlier removes flower buds that formed the previous fall. Summer-flowering shrubs such as potentilla, spirea, and rose of Sharon, are best trimmed in late winter or early spring during the dormant season; the best time to prune most landscape shrubs is during that window to encourage vigorous growth, and many deciduous shrubs benefit from trimming in March-April before growth starts. General maintenance trimming for hedges and border shrubs can be done throughout the growing season (April through October) as needed to maintain shape, but avoid cutting in the wrong seasonal window if bloom production is a priority. Avoid heavy pruning in late summer or early fall because it can stimulate new growth that will not harden off before the first frost. The arborists at American Arbor Care assess each property’s specific plant mix and recommend a trimming calendar that is tailored to those varieties and your personal landscaping goals. ## Why Choose American Arbor Care?

Frequently asked questions What is the difference between shrub trimming and pruning? Trimming shapes the outside of a shrub or hedge. Selective pruning removes individual branches to address dead wood, crowding or growth. We assess which approach the plant needs. When should shrubs be pruned in Denver? Timing depends on the species and when it flowers. Spring-flowering shrubs are generally pruned after flowering. We identify the plant before recommending a schedule. Can you help with overgrown shrubs? Yes. We assess the species and condition before recommending how much to remove. Restoring an overgrown shrub may require work over more than one season. Do you remove the trimmings? Yes. Our shrub trimming service includes cleanup and removal of the cut branches and clippings. Can you assess shrubs with discolored leaves or pests? Yes.

We identify the plant before recommending a schedule. **Can you help with overgrown shrubs?** Yes. We assess the species and condition before recommending how much to remove. Restoring an overgrown shrub may require work over more than one season. **Do you remove the trimmings?** Yes. Our shrub trimming service includes cleanup and removal of the cut branches and clippings. **Can you assess shrubs with discolored leaves or pests?** Yes. Our plant health care team can assess disease, insect and growing-condition concerns.

Get your free estimate today. # Holiday & Christmas Light Installation in Denver, CO ## Professional holiday lighting design and installation for homes and businesses throughout Denver. Let us handle the ladders and tangled strands. American Arbor Care designs, installs and maintains Christmas lights for Denver homes and businesses, then takes them down after the holidays. We buy commercial-grade LEDs for your display. You own the lights and can reuse them each season. Optional storage keeps them ready for next year. ## Why Choose Professional Christmas Light Installation? Most people can hang a strand of lights for their festive decorations, but doing it well and safely without losing a whole weekend is another matter. Safety First Holiday light installation is one of the most common causes of ladder-related injuries during winter. Our lighting professionals have the training, equipment, and safety protocols to handle rooflines, gutters, and tall trees without putting anyone at risk. Save Time During the Busy Holiday Season A full lighting system setup can easily take an entire weekend for a homeowner working alone. A professional crew handles everything from design to testing in a fraction of the time. Better Results There’s a visible difference between a DIY job and a professional installation of your Christmas display. Balanced lighting, clean roofline placement, proper spacing, and symmetry are hard to get right without experience and the right tools. Reliable Lighting All Season Commercial-grade LEDs are built for Colorado winters. They’re brighter, more durable, and more energy-efficient than what you’ll find at big box stores, and with proper installation they stay lit from November through January. ## Our Christmas Light Installation Process We handle every step so you don’t have to think about it. Design consultation: We evaluate your property and provide customized design services to put together a custom lighting layout based on the architecture, layout, and any features you want to highlight.

If lights stop working or a storm causes issues, our team responds quickly to keep the display looking its best. Post-holiday takedown: Once the season wraps up, we remove everything carefully. No leftover clips, no forgotten strands. Optional storage: We offer professional storage so your lights are kept in good condition and ready for the following year. ## Custom Holiday Lighting Design Options Every property is different, and the best displays work with the architecture and landscaping that’s already there. Roofline Lighting: Clean lines of light along the roofline highlight the architecture of the home and create the classic holiday look Tree and Shrub Lighting: Wraps that add depth and warmth, especially dramatic on large trees Entryway and Walkway Lighting: Festive lighting along paths and entrances creates a welcoming first impression and improves visibility at night Wreaths and Pre-Lit Greenery: LED wreaths and greenery that layer in with roofline and landscape lighting ## Residential and Commercial Christmas Light Installation For homeowners, we design and install custom displays that fit the space and the budget, with safe installation and stress-free decorating from start to finish.

Free estimates. # Spring Tree Care in Denver ## Denver Spring Tree Care Winter leaves clues: broken branches, dry soil and buds that fail to open. A spring inspection helps you decide what needs attention before the growing season. American Arbor Care's Certified Arborists assess your trees and recommend pruning, watering, fertilization or treatment where needed. ## Late frost, heavy snow and dry soil A warm week can give way to frost or wet snow in Denver. Trees emerging from dormancy also face dry spells. We check for winter damage and help you plan care around the weather and the tree. ## Start with the cause A struggling tree may have a soil, water, pest or structural problem. An inspection helps identify the cause before you spend money on treatment. ## What we check after winter Branches and buds We look for snow and wind damage and signs of growth as trees emerge from dormancy. Soil and roots We assess watering and soil conditions before recommending fertilizer or other root care. The site Exposure to sun, wind and late frosts affects what each tree needs. The care plan starts with those conditions. ## Soil and watering Soil conditions Compacted clay and alkaline soil can affect drainage and nutrient availability. Our arborists assess whether amendments or aeration would help. Watering After a dry winter, check moisture around the roots. We can advise on deep-root watering for your trees and site. Mulch Mulch helps retain moisture, moderate soil temperature and suppress weeds. As it breaks down, it adds organic matter to the soil. ## Pruning after winter damage We check for dead, damaged and diseased branches, then recommend which to remove. Timing depends on the species and the work needed. Spring pruning can address winter damage. Other structural work may be better scheduled during dormancy. An arborist can help you decide. ## Fertilize where needed Fertilizer should address a need. We assess the tree and soil before recommending an application. Deep-root fertilization delivers nutrients to the root zone. We plan treatment around the species and conditions on your property. ## Watch for pests and disease Regular inspections can catch insects and disease before damage spreads. Our Certified Arborists look for symptoms and recommend treatment or monitoring based on what they find. ## Assess struggling or damaged trees Soil and root care We assess whether soil treatments or injections could help a struggling tree. Cabling and bracing Some trees may benefit from added structural support. An arborist must assess whether cabling or bracing is suitable. Hazard inspections We look for defects and consider what could be hit if a branch or tree fails, then explain the options. ## Work with a Certified Arborist Our ISA Certified Arborists assess tree health, structure and growing conditions. They explain what they find and recommend pruning, fertilization, pest management or other work as needed. ## Schedule a spring tree assessment Tell us what you have noticed: a broken limb, sparse leaves or a tree that has not recovered after winter. We will arrange a visit and provide a free estimate for the recommended work. ## FAQ **Do you offer free estimates for spring tree care in Denver?** Yes.

We recommend the lawn be fertilized every 4-6 weeks throughout the year. With our full lawn care program, this would include spot treating for weeds. An arborist can help determine how often lawn care services would be needed for your lawn area once they do a site assessment. What makes lawn care in Denver different from other regions? Denver’s semi-arid climate, soil composition, and distinct seasons make lawn care different from other regions. Our program fully takes all of these factors into account when planning your specialized lawn treatments. What types of grass grow best in the Denver climate? Kentucky Bluegrass is the most common type of grass grown in Denver. If the areas are very shaded it is best to incorporate other types of grass such as tall or fine fescue grasses. What’s the difference between overseeding and reseeding? Reseeding usually refers to starting a new lawn from scratch using grass seed. Overseeding is the process of adding new seed to an existing lawn to fill in thin or bare patches or to introduce stronger grass varieties. Both methods help improve lawn density and appearance. How do I know if my lawn needs reseeding? Your lawn may need reseeding/overseeding if you have bare areas or uneven patches in the lawn. This can be caused by too much shade, improper irrigation, insects or diseases. If you are curious if your lawn needs overseeding, an arborist can do a site assessment to help you determine what would be best. How do you treat weeds without damaging my lawn? We use specialized selective herbicides that are only labeled for treating weeds without damaging the lawn. What’s the difference between organic and synthetic fertilization? Synthetic fertilizers are manufactured from synthetic compounds and minerals that deliver nutrients quickly resulting in a faster result of growth and color. Organic fertilizers are derived from organic material such as manure, compost, bone meal or plant matter. They stimulate beneficial soil microorganisms to improve the soil structure. Although the color and growth results may be slower with organic, it will help maintain lawn health over a long period of time. Do you offer one-time lawn treatments or seasonal packages? Yes, we offer both options. Do you provide lawn care for commercial properties or HOAs? Yes we do! ## FAQ **How often should I schedule lawn care services in Denver?** We recommend the lawn be fertilized every 4-6 weeks throughout the year.

Get Your Free Estimate Today. # Expert Lawn Fertilization in Denver ## Fertilizer for Denver's soil and growing season Dry weather, alkaline soil and weeds can leave a Denver lawn thin and uneven. Fertilizer supplies nutrients the grass needs through spring, summer and fall. American Arbor Care has cared for Colorado lawns since 1995. We offer standard and custom fertilization programs based on your lawn and soil. ## Why Lawn Fertilization is Essential in Denver Denver is a great place for plants, but green lawns are a human affectation. Lush carpets of grass need a balance of moisture, nutrients, and protection from weeds. Denver’s soil composition tends to be a little dry and high in alkaline. The dry summers and cold winters mean lawns need some help staying green. And yet, the plant-friendly ecosystem invites active weeds. Fortunately, the answer is simple: strategic lawn fertilization for Denver lawns. Our lawn care services can help keep your lawn lush and healthy. Benefits of Denver Lawn Fertilization Services: Thick, Green Turf – Grass with the right nutrient balance grows thick and soft. Strong Root System – Fertilized lawns grow deeper and healthier roots in the nutrient-rich soil Weed Control & Pests – The right fertilizer encourages grass while discouraging unwanted residents like weeds while also offering pest control. Better Drought Resistance – Lush fertilized grass is more resistant to droughts and can survive dry periods with better health. ## Our Fertilization Programs American Arbor Care offers three fertilization program options: Synthetic – A synthetic blend of minerals that nourish Denver lawns Organic-Based Lawn Care – Naturally sourced organic natural fertilizers Season-Long – Fertilization program designed for long-lasting results. Each program is tailored to Denver’s unique soils and climate to provide your grass with the nutrients it needs to thrive. Programs are designed to promote lawn health, enhance weed resistance, and provide long-term soil improvement. Benefits of Synthetic Fertilization Quick and noticeable greening effect. Effective at keeping weeds under control. Provides consistent nutrition to turf. A great option for homeowners who want a lush, manicured look throughout the season ## Organic Fertilization The organic fertilization program uses the Perfection Vigor Lux 14-2-5 formula. This is a premium organic fertilizer blend manufactured by Wilbur-Ellis. It provides time-release for steady nutrient availability. The formula is designed to improve soil structure, loosen compacted soils, and strengthen root systems. The organic mixture encourages healthy microbial activity in the soil. Weed control in organic fertilization is optional and not included by default for those who prefer a more natural lawn or curated green space. Benefits of Organic Fertilization Eco-friendly and safe for children and pets. Promotes long-term soil and turf health. Reduces risk of turf stress from sudden growth spurts. Ideal for eco-conscious homeowners who prioritize sustainability. ## Season-Long Fertilization The season-long fertilization program offers a one-time application designed to last 6–8 months. It provides slow-release nutrients that activate based on time, soil temperature, and moisture levels. The season-long treatment ensures your lawn has continuous, balanced feeding without multiple service visits. Benefits of Season-Long Fertilization Treatment Low-maintenance solution for busy homeowners. Ensures steady, even growth and color all season. Cost-effective program compared to repeated visits. Program Comparison / Choosing the Right Program When deciding on the best fertilization for your lawn, consider the differing qualities, formulas, and treatment approach between synthetic, organic, and season-long fertilization treatments. Synthetic treatment provides a structured program, organic treatment is ideal for natural spaces, and season-long treatment provides a one-and-done approach. American Arbor Care provides Denver with arborists to help homeowners select the program best suited to their soil type, lifestyle, and lawn goals.

We recommend lawns be fertilized every 4 – 6 weeks What is the best time of year to fertilize grass in Colorado? We recommend fertilizing your lawn during the months of April, June, July, August and October What’s the difference between synthetic and organic lawn fertilization? Synthetic fertilizers are manufactured from synthetic compounds and minerals that deliver nutrients quickly resulting in a faster result of growth and color. Organic fertilizers are derived from organic material such as manure, compost, bone meal or plant matter. They stimulate beneficial soil microorganisms to improve the soil structure. Although the color and growth results may be slower with organic, it will help maintain lawn health over a long period of time. Is lawn fertilization safe for kids and pets? Yes it is. How long does it take to see results after fertilization? It can take about a week to see a color difference. If your lawn is in very bad health it may take a couple of applications to get it back to where it should be depending on the situation. Do fertilization programs also control weeds? Yes, we have a weed control treatment that we can include in your program. Some of our fertilization treatments include pre-emergent weed control programs. Can lawn fertilization help with Denver’s clay-heavy soils? Yes, the fertilizer will stimulate beneficial microorganisms and microbial activity over time to improve soil health which will make your lawn healthier! What happens if I skip a season of fertilization? Skipping a season of fertilization can allow weeds to take over the lawn and also promote drought stress in the lawn resulting in a lawn that may start to turn brown and look unhealthy. How do I know which fertilization program is right for my lawn? An arborist will assess the condition of your lawn and give their recommendation on what is best. It will also depend on preference of synthetic vs. organic fertilizers. Will fertilization help with drought tolerance during Denver’s dry summers? Yes it will! Our fertilizers often contain soil conditioners to allow water penetration in dry soils easier. We do still recommend making sure your lawn is getting enough water as well. Do you offer one-time applications or only ongoing programs? We can do a one time application if needed. What additional treatments can improve lawn health besides fertilization? Denver has seen a boom in Japanese beetles over the past couple of years so we offer a Japanese beetle grub control treatment in the spring to combat damage from grubs which will make the lawn healthier. Can lawn fertilization prevent lawn diseases or pests? Yes it can. However, if infestations are heavy, additional treatments may be needed. Cultural control such as fertilizing, watering correctly, and proper mowing is always the best solution to combating pests and diseases. Do you provide free follow-up treatments if weeds return? Yes, if signed up for the full lawn program. How do your fertilization services differ from DIY store-bought products? In addition to not having to deal with the hassle of doing the lawn care on your own, we are able to get commercial grade products that DIY products cannot be compared to. ## FAQ **What should the fertilization timing for my lawn be in the Mile High City’s climate?** We recommend lawns be fertilized every 4 – 6 weeks **What is the best time of year to fertilize grass in Colorado?** We recommend fertilizing your lawn during the months of April, June, July, August and October **What’s the difference between synthetic and organic lawn fertilization?** Synthetic fertilizers are manufactured from synthetic compounds and minerals that deliver nutrients quickly resulting in a faster result of growth and color.

If your lawn is in very bad health it may take a couple of applications to get it back to where it should be depending on the situation. **Do fertilization programs also control weeds?** Yes, we have a weed control treatment that we can include in your program. Some of our fertilization treatments include pre-emergent weed control programs. **Can lawn fertilization help with Denver’s clay-heavy soils?** Yes, the fertilizer will stimulate beneficial microorganisms and microbial activity over time to improve soil health which will make your lawn healthier! **What happens if I skip a season of fertilization?** Skipping a season of fertilization can allow weeds to take over the lawn and also promote drought stress in the lawn resulting in a lawn that may start to turn brown and look unhealthy. **How do I know which fertilization program is right for my lawn?** An arborist will assess the condition of your lawn and give their recommendation on what is best. It will also depend on preference of synthetic vs. organic fertilizers. **Will fertilization help with drought tolerance during Denver’s dry summers?** Yes it will! Our fertilizers often contain soil conditioners to allow water penetration in dry soils easier. We do still recommend making sure your lawn is getting enough water as well. **Do you offer one-time applications or only ongoing programs?** We can do a one time application if needed. **What additional treatments can improve lawn health besides fertilization?** Denver has seen a boom in Japanese beetles over the past couple of years so we offer a Japanese beetle grub control treatment in the spring to combat damage from grubs which will make the lawn healthier. **Can lawn fertilization prevent lawn diseases or pests?** Yes it can. However, if infestations are heavy, additional treatments may be needed. Cultural control such as fertilizing, watering correctly, and proper mowing is always the best solution to combating pests and diseases. **Do you provide free follow-up treatments if weeds return?** Yes, if signed up for the full lawn program. **How do your fertilization services differ from DIY store-bought products?** In addition to not having to deal with the hassle of doing the lawn care on your own, we are able to get commercial grade products that DIY products cannot be compared to. --- # Lawn Reseeding Service | 100% Reliable | American Arbor Care URL: https://americanarborcare.com/our-services/lawn-reseeding/ Summary: Revive your lawn with expert reseeding in Denver.

Reseeding fills those gaps; overseeding adds grass to areas that have grown thin. American Arbor Care chooses seed for your yard and the Front Range climate. We have served Denver since 1995. Request a free estimate to find out what your lawn needs. ## Why Lawn Reseeding Is Essential for Denver Lawns Over time, even the best lawns will end up losing density due to natural wear, insect and disease attacks, and changing weather. In Denver, these effects are amplified by the high altitude and soil conditions. Adding new grass seed into existing turf adds a much-needed jolt of vitality to your lawn. Some of the key benefits include: Fills in bare and thinning areas Boosts long-term health and resistance to drought and disease Strengthens roots for better water retention Improves lawn color and texture Reduces the chance of weed invasion, supporting better weed control Learn more about our complete Lawn Care Services to see how reseeding fits into a year-round maintenance plan. Our Professional Lawn Reseeding Process ## Our process Our hands-on process makes sure that every seed has the best chance to thrive: - Site Evaluation: Diagnose soil issues like compaction, pH imbalance, or pests. - Soil Preparation: Core aeration or dethatch to loosen compacted areas, improving the seed-to-soil contact. - Custom Seed Selection: Choose grass varieties for Denver’s climate and your lawn’s sun or shade conditions. - Precision Seeding: Our crews hand-apply every seed evenly across the prepared surface. - Nutrient Boost: Apply starter fertilizer to support germination, root growth, and improve disease tolerance. - Post-Seeding Guidance: Provide light topdressing, watering instructions, and optional follow-up visits. ## Types of Lawn Reseeding Services We Offer At American Arbor Care, all our reseeding is done manually, with no power or slit seeding equipment. This careful method gives us better control and more reliable results. Each service includes: Power raking/aeration Soil amendments (as needed) Hand-applied premium seed Topdressing with quality soil Starter fertilizer We offer three main reseeding options based on your lawn’s condition: Manual Reseeding (Full Restoration): The most thorough option for bringing a struggling lawn with thinning or bare spots back to health. Overseeding for Maintenance: For maintaining healthy turf thick and vibrant with a boost of color, density and weed control. S oil Amendment & Nutrient Treatment: This optional add-on that improves soil quality ## Best Time to Reseed Lawns in Denver The most favorable conditions for reseeding in Denver are during springtime (April–May) when the soil temperatures are warm enough for quick germination and most irrigation systems are active. Fall (August–October) is less ideal because cooler soil can slow down germination, but it’s still a possibility. We generally avoid summer reseeding because the heat and dry conditions make it difficult for young grass to survive. That’s especially true if there’s limited natural rainfall. We customize timing recommendations based on your lawn’s needs, watering schedule, and the current weather. ## Lawn Reseeding vs. Lawn Replacement Reseeding refreshes and strengthens your lawn at a much lower cost than full on replacement, though the results will take time. Sod installation (replacement) delivers faster results but also would also require a higher upfront costs and maintenance. We’ll help you decide which approach makes the most sense based on your lawn’s overall condition, timeline, and budget. For many homeowners, reseeding is the right balance between results and cost-effectiveness, especially when planning for long-term health of their outdoor space ## Post-Reseeding Care & Maintenance For best results after reseeding: Watering: Keep the top 1 inch of soil moist for 2 to 3 weeks Foot traffic: Avoid heavy use until the new grass is established. Mowing: Wait until the grass is 3–4 inches high, which usually takes 4 to 6 weeks. If you’re unsure about maintenance, our team is available to provide professional help tailored to your lawn’s stage of growth. ## Why Choose American Arbor Care for Lawn Reseeding in Denver?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) What’s the difference between reseeding and overseeding? Reseeding usually refers to starting a new lawn from scratch using grass seed. Overseeding is the process of adding new seed to an existing lawn to fill in thin or bare patches or to introduce stronger grass varieties. Both methods help improve lawn density and appearance. When is the best time to reseed in Denver? Spring is the best time to reseed in Denver, once your sprinkler system is turned on and the soil is warm enough to support seed germination. Spring conditions give the new grass time to take root before the heat of summer. How long does it take for new grass to grow? It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks for new grass seed to fully establish. Regular watering and limiting foot traffic during this time will help the young grass grow in strong and healthy. Do I need to aerate before reseeding? Yes. Aerating before reseeding helps loosen compacted soil, which improves seed-to-soil contact and allows for better root development. This step increases the success of your reseeding. Will reseeding help with bare spots and patchy grass? Yes. Reseeding is one of the best ways to repair bare spots and thinning areas in your lawn. It helps create a fuller, healthier lawn that looks better and resists weeds more effectively. What type of grass seed do you use? The seed we use depends on the conditions of your lawn, such as whether the area is full sun, full shade, or a mix. Our arborist will assess your property and choose a premium seed blend that fits your yard and Denver’s climate. Can reseeding fix a lawn with weeds? Yes. Overseeding strengthens your lawn, and a thick, healthy lawn naturally helps prevent weeds. The best weed control is cultural control, which means keeping your turf dense and healthy so weeds don’t have room to grow. How often should I reseed my lawn? Some lawns may need overseeding every year, especially if there is a lot of shade or stress on the grass. Most lawns only need reseeding as needed, such as when bare spots appear or the lawn starts to thin. Is reseeding safe for pets and kids? Yes. Reseeding is safe for pets and children. However, we recommend keeping traffic off newly seeded areas for a couple of weeks to help the grass establish without disruption. What if my lawn is too damaged for reseeding? No lawn is too damaged for reseeding. We can overseed completely bare or dirt areas to restore growth and improve lawn health. Our method works even on lawns that look like they need a complete restart. ## FAQ **What’s the difference between reseeding and overseeding?** Reseeding usually refers to starting a new lawn from scratch using grass seed.

Free estimates. # Plant Health Care in Denver ## Plant Health Care A thinning canopy, spotted leaves or insects on the bark deserve a closer look. Plant health care starts by identifying the problem and the conditions behind it. Our Certified Arborists assess your trees, shrubs and lawn. Services include watering and soil care, tree fertilization, and treatment for pests such as emerald ash borer. We recommend the work your plants need. American Arbor Care has served Denver since 1995. We help you care for established plants and catch problems before they spread. ## What Is Plant Health Care? Plant health care combines pest management with attention to soil, water and growing conditions. We look for the cause of a problem before recommending treatment. Inspect plants and soil for signs of stress, disease or pests. Identify the problem and decide whether treatment is needed. Plan pruning, watering, fertilization or pest control for the site. Monitor the results and adjust care as conditions change. ## Caring for trees in Denver’s dry climate A tree’s symptoms do not always point to a single cause. Dry soil, compaction and pest damage can occur together. We look at the plant and its surroundings before recommending treatment. A plant health care plan can include watering guidance, mulch, pruning and targeted treatments. The aim is to support the trees and shrubs already growing on your property and catch changes that need attention. ## Tree and shrub pest management Finding an insect does not automatically mean a tree needs spraying. We identify the pest, assess the damage and choose whether to monitor or treat. Treatment timing depends on the pest and the tree. Insect treatments Aphid, mite and Japanese beetle sprays Mealybug, juniper scale and borer treatments Peach, plum, ash, lilac and bronze birch borer treatments Honeylocust and linden borer treatments Kermes scale and oak borer treatments Elm and evergreen protection Elm leaf beetle, weevil and miner treatments European elm scale treatments IPS beetle sprays and trunk injections Our team explains the treatment selected and any access restrictions before application. ## Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Protection Emerald ash borer threatens ash trees in the Denver area. An arborist can identify your tree, assess its condition and discuss whether preventive treatment is appropriate. We offer soil and trunk injection treatments. The choice depends on the tree’s size, condition and treatment requirements. A thinning canopy or splitting bark warrants an inspection, but visible damage alone does not identify the cause. Read our Denver emerald ash borer guide for signs to watch for and questions to ask at an assessment. ## Tree Disease Management Spotted leaves, dying branches and a thinning canopy need a diagnosis before they need a treatment. An arborist examines the leaves, bark, trunk and growing conditions to help distinguish disease from watering or soil problems. Our tree disease services include assessment of anthracnose, cankers and Dutch elm disease concerns. Depending on the findings, we may recommend treatment, selective pruning or changes to care. Trees with advanced decline may need removal. ## Soil, roots and tree fertilization Watering and root care We assess soil moisture, compaction and the space available for roots. Recommendations may include deep-root watering, mulch or changes to irrigation. Watering needs vary with the tree, soil and weather. Tree fertilization Fertilizer is one part of plant health care. We consider the tree’s condition and growing site before recommending nutrients. Our services include deep-root fertilization and treatments for iron chlorosis when the assessment supports them. Seasonal care We help plan care through the growing season and dry winter periods. An inspection can bring pruning, watering and treatment needs into one plan. ## A care plan for your property Walk the property with an arborist and point out what has changed. We identify the plants, inspect the site and discuss what you want to keep healthy. You receive recommendations and an estimate for the work. Ongoing care includes monitoring and adjustments as the plants and conditions change. A plan may combine tree pruning , pest management and soil care. ## Why Choose American Arbor Care?

We assess your trees and shrubs before planning applications or other care. Do all trees need fertilizer? Fertilization should respond to the tree’s needs and growing conditions.

The answer is that we reduce the stump one layer at a time with literal cutting-edge tools and the latest in safety and precision techniques. A high-powered rotating cutting wheel is used to achieve precision depth control as we remove one layer of the stump’s dense wood at a time. We remove layers until the stump is reduced up to 18+ inches below the surface of the landscape. The systematic grinding pattern provides complete stump destruction so you can fill the space with topsoil and plant when the job is done. Root grinding can be provided for comprehensive removal and the ability to reclaim a space which was once dominated by old wood. We can then provide wood chip production and processing on-site.

However, if multiple stumps are located very close together, we may be able to provide a price break. ## FAQ **How deep do you grind stumps?** We typically grind stumps 6–24 inches below ground, depending on factors such as nearby utility lines or whether you plan to replant in the same spot. Our team always strives to go as deep as possible for your needs. **Do you remove the wood chips after grinding?** In most cases, we leave the mulch created from the stump in the hole and re-fill the area. If requested, we can remove some of the mulch, but we recommend leaving the majority so the hole does not become a tripping hazard. **How long does stump removal take?** The time required depends on the size and hardness of the stump, as well as its location on your property. One of our certified arborists will provide a clear estimate once they’ve seen the site. **Can you remove stumps close to buildings or utilities?** Yes, within reason. We always contact CO 811 to locate utilities before beginning any grinding work to ensure the process is safe. **What happens to the roots after stump grinding?** The roots remain underground and will naturally decay over time. **Do I need to be present during stump removal?** No, you do not need to be home while we complete the stump removal service. **Can you grind stumps in winter or frozen ground?** Yes, we can perform stump grinding during the winter months and in frozen ground conditions. **Will stump grinding damage my lawn or landscaping?** Stump grinding can occasionally cause some disruption to lawns or landscaping depending on where the stump is located.

Most shrubs should be pruned yearly. The timing for trees depends on their size. Mature trees should be pruned every 5 to 7 years while smaller trees may require light maintenance pruning or shaping every 1 to 3 years. What are the signs that my tree may be hazardous or needs to be removed? Your tree may need to be removed if it is leaning or heaving – meaning the tree looks like it is being pushed out of the ground. Heaving is common in Denver due to our freeze-thaw cycle, which leads to soil expansion. Other signs of tree distress may include cracks, broken branches or if the tree has 60% or more deadwood. Our Certified Arborists can assess your tree for tree risk and tree risk assessments and let you know if the condition requires a full removal. What’s the difference between tree pruning and tree trimming? Often these terms mean the same thing. Pruning is sometimes used to describe removing small tree branches for aesthetic or shaping reasons. Trimming is used to explain cutting back large branches to protect a home’s roofline or aid with visibility. How do I know whether I need stump removal or stump grinding? Our Certified Arborists can help guide you based on your goals and your yard. Stump grinding uses a machine while stump removal is typically done by hand. When is the best time of year for tree spraying and disease treatments in Colorado? It depends on the insects that are affecting your trees. Our Certified Arborists will be able to recommend the best treatments and application timing based on the species in your yard. What common pests or diseases affect trees in the Denver area? Denver is a semi-arid desert climate. While this means we do not have as many pests or arbor diseases as other states, we still have to contend with a few. For example, Crabapples can get fire blight, and Oak trees can get Oak leaf blister. Most of the insects in our area are “host-specific” – meaning they only live on certain types of trees. Our Certified Arborists can help you determine if the trees in your yard would benefit from preventative pest treatments or disease maintenance. Do my trees need deep-root fertilization, and how can it help them in our climate? Your trees may benefit from deep root fertilization if they are stressed or trying to become established. Deep root fertilization helps the tree build up its nutrient reserves so that it can grow a nice, full set of leaves and stay healthy for years to come. How does your team ensure safety during tree removals and pruning? All of our team members are thoroughly trained in safety measures related to tree removals and pruning. This includes wearing personal protective gear and controlling traffic to any areas where tree removals are taking place. In addition, our team members are CPR certified. All of our gear is inspected regularly. We are licensed and insured and have all required certifications. Can storm-damaged trees be saved, or do they need to be removed? It often depends on the damage. Trees typically need at least 60% or more of their canopy to survive. We offer emergency tree care and can help you assess your options. How do I know if my tree is suffering from drought stress or winter damage? A tree is drought stressed or has winter damage when its leaves or needles turn brown or start to fall off the tree prematurely. Because Denver is a semi-arid climate, drought stress is often the cause. The best way to combat this is to make sure your trees get watered over the winter. We recommend watering trees once a month if we do not get at least 1-inch of natural precipitation which equates to 12-inches of snow.

For full descriptions of our terms and conditions please read further. # Terms and Conditions Description of services We are fully licensed and insured. We comply with and follow all ANSI and Z133 standards for our industry. All work performed conforms to these standards. The arborist will visit the site to determine the plant health care, lawn care, and pruning/removal operations that need to be completed at the site. Structure Prune and Shape- Pruning procedures completed on younger trees to train the tree to develop proper growth form and stability. Develop or maintain dominant leader(s), ensure correctly spaced canopy branches, suppress branches with known included bark, remove deadwood, remove crossing and interfering branches, shape the tree. Prune and Shape- This pruning operation is typically completed on established trees that are not in need of much deadwood removal or interior thinning. General prune and Shape- Removal of dead, dying, diseased wood, remove crossing and interfering branches, prune long ends back to natural form to shape (natural form of tree), and thin the tree by 10-15%. Hazard Prune or Deadwood only- Hazard pruning operation targets deadwood that is 2” and larger that may pose potential risks to target zone areas (property or lives). Deadwood removal on pines and spruce is typically completed up 2/3rds of the tree, unless otherwise specified. Natural Prune and Shape/Shearing- Natural pruning and shaping of shrubs vs. shearing is determined based upon the species of the shrub and previous pruning operations completed. Deadwood is removed and sometimes 1/3 of the new/oldest canes are removed to stimulate the shrub. Shearing of evergreens and broadleaf evergreens is not recommended in the months of November to the end of February. Rejuvenation Pruning- Rejuvenation pruning is only an option for certain shrub species. With this pruning operation, the shrub is pruned back to 6-8” above the ground, so that the shrub may produce all new growth the following season. This is best completed after leaf drop, or before leaf emergence in spring. Saw off to a low Stump- Tree is removed, typically to within 4” of the grade. Stump Grinding- Stumps are typically ground out to a depth of 6-8” unless otherwise specified (such as replanting) Cabling and Bracing- Procedures involving cabling and bracing of trees are typically one of the last options to consider, and only if a tree does not already have such devices installed. Pruning, if possible, should be the first consideration. Cables/bracing typically last 10-15 years and should be inspected every two years to ensure the stability and functionality of the devices. Cabling and bracing are purely support mechanisms; they are not a guarantee of integrity or stability of the tree. Once these devices have been installed in a tree, the tree grows to rely on them, and the devices must stay and be maintained. Staking-When we install a new tree, the staking of the tree is determined by factors that include location, size of the tree, size of the root ball, and the variety of the tree. Staking materials should be removed once the tree has been in the ground for 1-2 years. Planting: Plant material is subject to availability. Plant material canceled after it has been ordered is subject to an $85.00 restock fee. Underground Utilities: American Arbor Care takes all precautions possible to limit the amount of damage to underground utilities by visual inspection during the estimating process and by contacting our local 811 services for locating underground utilities. We are not responsible for low voltage landscaping wiring, any irrigation systems, underground dog fences, or drip lines that are not visible (or buried below ground). Additional costs may be assessed for repairs to irrigation systems. We guarantee our workmanship, however there are no guarantees for the longevity or survivability of maintaining living organisms that exist in an uncontrolled environment.
