The trees we see most in Golden
Golden canopy is dominated by ponderosa and blue spruce on the foothill lots, cottonwood along Clear Creek, and old apple and maple in the historic downtown blocks. That shapes how we approach tree health & plant care here rather than applying one generic method everywhere.
Golden work is steep, tight or both — historic downtown lots with no side-yard clearance, plus foothill properties where a bucket truck cannot reach and a climber has to. Wind exposure off the canyon changes how we rig.

Tree Health & Plant Care in Golden: common questions
Can my ash tree be saved from emerald ash borer?
If the canopy is less than about 30% thinned, treatment on a two-year cycle is usually effective and far cheaper than removal plus replanting. Beyond that, we recommend removal.
Why is my tree losing leaves early?
In our climate the usual culprits are drought stress, planting depth, girdling roots or compacted soil — not disease. We check those first before recommending any spray or injection.
How much should I water an established tree?
Roughly 10 gallons per inch of trunk diameter, applied slowly at the drip line, twice a month in the growing season and once a month in winter on days above 40°F.
