Englewood Tree Company

Since 1978, Englewood residents have come to count on Ross Tree as their go-to tree company. The most common service we provide is tree pruning. We use standards-based pruning approved by the International Society of Arboriculture to form a dominant leader and remove any hazardous damaged, weak, or dead limbs. However, some trees are not salvageable and need removal. For an appointment, click here to fill out a request service form or call 303-871-9121.

Winter Tree Care

The Front Range is known for its arid climate. The trees in Englewood do benefit from deep root watering and feeding to prepare them for winter droughts that happen from time to time. Pruning trees to their dominant leader and trimming secondary branches to their strongest point prepares trees for Englewood’s unpredictable weather. Check out Ross Trees Winter Tree Care Handbook for close of year tree care tips.

Systemic Products to Control Tree Insects

Ross Tree, a leading innovator in tree insect control, recommends systemic injections to control tree insects. We were the first tree company in Denver to offer tree injections, a practicable alternative to spraying trees. Using systemics ensures that only the tree gets the product, not the surrounding environment. Click here to see our blog on Ask A Professional Why Use Systemic Products To Control tree Pests.
