Tree Care in Acres Green, CO

If you're looking at your trees in Acres Green, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1970s. The homes here were built around 1976, and the landscaping choices made then are reaching a critical age. Builders often planted fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That means many properties have mature silver maples, known for their weak wood and aggressive surface roots, or Bradford pears, which are structurally guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. These trees are now 50 years old and entering a high-risk phase. Our cool-dry climate, with only about 15 inches of rain a year, adds stress. Many of these older trees never developed the deep root systems they need because they were watered with lawn sprinklers that only wet the top few inches of soil.
