INTEGRITY IN ACTION
Wheat Ridge Plant Healthcare Company
Serving Wheat Ridge since 1978.
Ross Tree Company, a long-standing name in Wheat Ridge 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 Wheat Ridge 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?

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. Wheat Ridge’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.
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.
