Tree Care in Niwot, CO

If you're looking at the trees in your Niwot yard and feeling uneasy, you're not imagining things. Many of the issues you see today were planted decades ago. When this area was developed in the 1980s, builders often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many Siberian elms and green ashes here. These species grow quickly but have weak wood and aggressive root systems. They weren't chosen for our specific climate and Front Range wind patterns, and now, as mature trees, they're showing their weaknesses. Your 40-year-old Siberian elm isn't just dropping branches. It's a legacy of a landscaping decision made before we fully understood how these trees would handle our storms and droughts.
