Tree Care in Redlands, CO

If you're looking at the trees in your Redlands yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the late 1970s. Homes here were built around 1978, and the landscaping choices made then are now mature, 48-year-old assets or liabilities. Many builders planted fast-growing trees for quick shade, like silver maples with their weak wood and aggressive roots, or Siberian elms that now drop brittle branches in our 6.3 annual storms. In our cool-dry climate with only 9 inches of rain, the wrong tree is struggling, and the right native tree, like a Ponderosa Pine or Blue Spruce, is a resilient anchor for your property. Most tree health issues I see start at the roots, often from a lawn sprinkler system running daily. This shallow watering prevents trees from developing the deep roots they need to survive our very high drought risk and temperature swings from 21 to 99 degrees.
