Tree Care in Rico, CO

If you're looking at the trees around your Rico home, you're likely seeing the legacy of landscaping choices made when these houses were built. In the 1960s and 70s, builders often planted fast-growing species like silver maple and Siberian elm for quick shade and curb appeal. The problem is that many of these trees are now over 60 years old, and their natural weaknesses are showing. Silver maples have brittle wood that fails in our wind, and Siberian elms are prone to storm damage. You can't see inside a tree from the outside, and the cracks or dead branches you notice today often started as internal decay years ago. That's why a professional assessment is critical for safety and tree health in our climate.
