Littleton Tree Programs
The City of Littleton takes great pride in maintaining and enhancing the beauty and health of its urban forest. Trees are a significant part of Littleton’s urban environment, providing beauty, shade, and ambiance. Click here for more information about the City of Littleton’s tree programs.
Emerald Ash Borer
Unfortunately, the dreaded Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) arrived in Littleton in 2023, and the beetle continues to spread throughout the City. Pretty soon, untreated trees will start to show signs of EAB damage and will most likely require removal. Property owners are generally responsible for managing and treating the ash trees on their own property.
Check out the Ross Tree EAB Handbook to understand your treatment options.
Tri-Level Fertilization Program
Ross Tree started its popular Tri-Level Fertilization Program in 2024. We use proprietary feeding formulations to help trees flourish in Denver’s arid climate and poor soils. The program has three feedings per year rather than two.
Littleton Tree Services
We work in the order that usually serves a tree best: health first, then pruning, then removal.
Plant Health Care
Our arborists diagnose pests, disease, and soil problems, then treat them. That includes emerald ash borer treatment, systemic injections, and deep root feeding.
Tree Pruning
Standards-based pruning removes deadwood, reduces risk, and keeps the tree’s structure sound without over-cutting it.
Tree Removal
When a tree is dead, hazardous, or too far gone to save, we remove it, including large trees near homes. We handle street closure permitting when a job needs it.

Littleton Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for the tree between the sidewalk and the street?
In Littleton, trees in the public right-of-way are generally managed by the city. Check with Littleton’s forestry or public works staff before pruning or removing one, and call us if you want an arborist’s opinion on its health first.
Should I treat or remove my ash tree?
Emerald ash borer arrived in Littleton in 2023 and continues to spread. Ash trees that still have a mostly full canopy can usually be saved with treatment. Trees that have already lost much of their canopy are usually better removed. Our arborist can tell you which applies on a complimentary visit. The Ross Tree EAB Handbook explains your options.

Yes. Ross Tree is licensed, insured, and BBB A+ rated, with two ISA-certified arborists on staff. Our guide on how to choose a tree service lists what to check with any company.

Request Service — Ross Tree
Littleton Stump Removal Service
Tree stumps in a yard take up space and are a tripping hazard. Stump grinding uses powerful machines that remove the wood one stroke at a time. A homeowner should hire a professional tree company like Ross Tree because of the inherent danger of operating these bulky and complex machines.
Getting Your Trees Ready for the Summer
Ross Tree recommends increasing deep rooting feeding to at least two times during the growing season and deep root watering as needed during the hot summer days. Also, proper tree pruning forms a dominant leader and thins out the crown to withstand mechanical breakage from snow and wind storms later in the year.
