Your Local Tree Crew In Littleton
Along the South Platte, Littleton has large cottonwoods and willows that grow fast and drop limbs in wind. In the newer HOA neighborhoods we handle clearance trimming and keep trees looking tidy to the HOA's standard.
Historic Downtown And The South Platte
Littleton's historic Main Street and older neighborhoods have mature elms, maples and ash, while the South Platte River runs along the west side of town. The river corridor, including South Platte Park, is lined with big plains cottonwoods and willows. The historic High Line Canal also winds through Littleton, and many homes along it share their backyards with old canal-side cottonwoods. These trees provide great shade but can drop large limbs, so we inspect them regularly.
Close To Chatfield And The Foothills
South of town, Littleton borders Chatfield State Park and the foothills. Properties toward the southwest see more wind and heavier spring snow, and often have pines, junipers and spruce mixed in with deciduous trees. Evergreens hold snow all year, so a late-season storm can bend or snap them. Ips beetles also attack drought-stressed pines and spruce here. Brown needles at the top of a pine in summer is a warning sign worth having looked at quickly.
What We Handle Most In Littleton
Most of our Littleton work is pruning and removing mature trees in established yards: thinning heavy maples, removing dying ash before they become hazardous, and cleaning up after storms. Emerald ash borer is a real threat here, as it is throughout the Front Range. Littleton's clay soils and dry climate, with roughly 15 inches of precipitation a year, also mean many trees are stressed by drought. Deep watering in fall and winter goes a long way toward keeping them healthy.
Protecting Trees During Projects
Littleton's older neighborhoods see a lot of remodels, new driveways and backyard projects. Construction is one of the most common reasons healthy mature trees decline. Heavy equipment compacts soil, and trenching cuts roots. If you're planning work near a big tree, call us first. We can mark a protection zone and prune ahead of time so the tree is still healthy years later.
