INTEGRITY IN ACTION
Lakewood Plant Healthcare Company
Serving Lakewood since 1978.
Ross Tree Company, a long-standing name in Lakewood tree care since 1978, has undergone a significant evolution, transitioning from a general tree service business to a specialized plant healthcare company. Our shift represents a fundamental change in philosophy to proactive health and prevention rather than reactive tree services like pruning and removal. We are a licensed tree company with a strong relationship with the Lakewood Forester Office, with a reputation for handling complex tree jobs, street closure permitting, and pioneering systemic injections to control tree insects. We strongly embrace standards-based pruning practices, which save our customers money in the long term. Why not call a licensed, insured, trusted tree and plant healthcare company with an A+ BBB rating? For convenience, we accept all major credit cards.

Lakewood Tree Programs
The City of Lakewood has been recognized as a Tree City USA each year for over 40 years. Trees are a significant part of Lakewood’s urban environment, providing beauty, shade, and ambiance. Click here for more information about the City of Lakewood’s tree programs.
Emerald Ash Borer
Unfortunately, the dreaded Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) arrived in Lakewood in 2024, and the beetle continues to spread throughout the City. In about two years, untreated trees will start to show signs of EAB damage and will most likely require removal. Englewood’s forester expects all property owners to manage and treat their Ash yard trees. Check out the Ross Tree EAB Handbook to understand your treatment options.
Tri-Level Fertilization Program
Ross Tree’s 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.
Cottonwood Tree Removal
Lakewood’s homeowners and developers planted Cottonwoods in the 1960s and 1970s because they grew fast and produced shade. However, these trees are prone to disease and mechanical breakage. Falling branches from these enormous trees can be hazardous. Also, Cottonwoods can drink up to 100 gallons of water daily in the summer. Homeowners thinking about removal should check out our blog on removing Cottonwood trees. Click here to find out more about removing large Cottonwood trees.
EAB Found in Lakewood
In September 2024, the CSU Extension in Jefferson County confirmed its first case of Emerald Ash (EAB) in a small area in central Lakewood. If not treated, EAB will kill Green and White Ash since they have no immunity. It will also kill Autumn Purple Ash. Mountain ash is not affected since it is not actual ash trees.
