Tree Care in Fairmount, CO

If you're looking at the trees in your Fairmount yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the early 1980s. That's when most homes here were built, and the landscaping choices made then are showing their age now, around 44 years later. In our cool, dry climate with only 16 inches of annual rain, many of the fast-growing trees planted for instant shade, like silver maples and Siberian elms, are struggling. Their shallow roots from decades of lawn sprinklers can't anchor them well in our Jefferson County storms, and their brittle wood is prone to failure. The right native trees, like a Ponderosa Pine or a Blue Spruce, would have been a better fit for our zone 6a winters and summer heat.
