Tree service in Longmont, CO

Early signs include thinning or dying branches starting at the top of the canopy, vertical bark splits, and increased woodpecker activity on the trunk. Ash trees can look relatively healthy for two to four years after infestation begins, so visible decline often means the damage is already significant. A diagnostic assessment gives you a clear picture of the tree's condition and your options.

Treatment with systemic insecticide can protect a healthy ash tree, but it requires repeat applications and works best before the tree shows significant decline. Removal makes more sense for trees that are already heavily infested, in poor structural condition, or positioned where a dead tree would pose a hazard. We assess each tree individually and give you a straight recommendation based on what we find.

Yes. Mature cottonwoods on tight Old Town lots require careful rigging and sectional removal of limbs to protect structures, fences, and neighboring properties.

Ash wood from EAB-affected trees in Boulder County is subject to federal quarantine restrictions on movement. You should not transport ash firewood outside of Boulder County. We handle disposal in compliance with those guidelines, and we can discuss firewood options for non-ash species removed from your property.
