Wheat Ridge Tree Programs
Wheat Ridge Forestry Department is responsible for caring for and maintaining all trees on city-owned property, including parks, open space, public spaces, and right-of-ways. Trees are a significant part of the Wheat Ridge urban environment, providing beauty, shade, and ambiance. Click here for more information about the City of Wheat Ridge’s tree programs.
Emerald Ash Borer
Unfortunately, the dreaded Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) arrived in Wheat Ridge in 2024, and the beetle continues to spread throughout the City. The time to act is now because Ash has no immunity to the EAB. In about two years, 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.
Wheat Ridge 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.

Wheat Ridge Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for the tree between the sidewalk and the street?
In Wheat Ridge, trees in the public right-of-way are generally managed by the city. Check with Wheat Ridge’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 Wheat Ridge in 2024 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.
Are you licensed and insured?
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.

Deep Root Feeding
Ross Tree now offers a new tree health care program called Tri-Level Tree Fertilization that better fits trees’ seasonal needs. Since trees are not native to the Denver area, it makes sense that they might need some extra care to thrive here. We are moving to deep root feeding three times a year versus two because Denver’s growing season is getting longer, and we are seeing more tree insects and unique weather events.
Ips Engraver Beetle Outbreak in Denver
Ips Beetles are native to Colorado and are now on the move in the Denver area. Their larvae damage spruce and pine trees, so the best time to treat is when the adult males become active in April and May each year. They typically bore into weakened trees to form mating galleries. However, Ips will attack healthy trees in large outbreaks.
