Tree Care in Peoria, CO

In Peoria, your trees are growing in a specific and challenging environment. The cool, dry climate with only 16 inches of annual rainfall and high drought risk means proper watering is critical. Many homeowners rely on their lawn sprinkler system, which runs for short periods every day. This is the worst thing for your trees, as it encourages shallow roots that never reach deep, stable moisture. Your mature Blue Spruce and Quaking Aspen need deep, infrequent watering to survive our dry spells and develop the strong root systems needed for our 22 annual storm events. Different storms cause different failures. Sustained winds from one direction, common here, can fatigue a tree before a sudden shift causes a major branch failure or uproots it if the soil is saturated.
