Your Local Tree Crew In Aurora
Aurora's mix of older neighborhoods and newer subdivisions means a lot of green ash, honey locust and silver maple. Heavy, wet spring snow that falls after the leaves are out breaks limbs all over the city. Storm cleanup and hazard limb removal make up much of our Aurora work.
Colorado's Third-Largest City
Aurora is the third-largest city in Colorado, and it stretches from older neighborhoods near Colfax Avenue all the way out to newer subdivisions on the open plains. In established areas like Hoffman Heights you'll find big green ash, silver maples, honey locusts and elms planted in the 1950s and '60s. Out east, yards are newer and trees are younger, but the wind is stronger. Aurora's open plains let storms build speed, and young trees with weak staking or poor structure take a beating.
Spring Snow And Hail On The Front Range
Denver-area storms are hard on trees in a way that surprises newcomers. A wet spring snow in April or May lands on trees that have already leafed out, and the extra weight snaps limbs all over the metro area. Hail can shred leaves and bark in minutes. After a storm, Aurora homeowners near Cherry Creek State Park and around Aurora Reservoir often call us for broken limbs hanging over roofs, driveways and fences. Shaking snow off branches early, before it freezes, can save a lot of damage.
Emerald Ash Borer And Clay Soils
Emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle that kills ash trees, was first found in Colorado in Boulder in 2013 and has been spreading across the Front Range since. Ash is one of the most common trees in Aurora, so if you have one, now is the time to decide whether to treat it or plan its removal. Aurora also has heavy, expansive clay soil in many neighborhoods. Clay holds water poorly for roots and can crack foundations as it swells and shrinks, so we look at tree placement carefully.
Watering Through Dry Winters
One of the best things Aurora homeowners can do for their trees is water in winter. Colorado winters are often dry and sunny, and trees can lose a lot of moisture when the ground isn't frozen. A deep soak once or twice a month on warmer days, when it's above about 40 degrees, helps roots stay healthy and makes trees stronger against spring snow and summer heat.

What Aurora Customers Say
April snowstorm dropped half a silver maple on our garage. Summit had a crew here the next morning and got it off without any more damage.
Our cottonwood was 70 feet tall and right over the house. They rigged it down in pieces and the lawn barely had a mark on it.
They explained our options on the ash trees instead of just pushing removal. Really appreciated the honest advice.
