Tree Care in Cherry Creek, CO

If you're looking at the trees in your Cherry Creek yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of the homes here were built around 1982, which means the trees are now about 44 years old. That's a critical age where problems from the original planting choices become obvious. You'll see this in mature silver maples, which were planted for fast shade but now have weak wood and surface roots that can damage hardscapes. You might also have green ash, a common choice back then that is now under direct threat from the Emerald Ash Borer. The cool-dry climate and our 6a hardiness zone mean trees face stress from both winter lows near 17°F and summer highs over 90°F, with little natural rainfall to help.
