Helping Lakewood's Trees Stay Beautiful
Lakewood's older neighborhoods are shaded by mature ash, honeylocust, and cottonwood that have been in the ground for decades, and trees that size sitting close to homes drop heavy limbs when a wet snow settles on them. Add the borer moving through the ash, and a longtime shade tree can become a worry fast.
Our local, ISA-Certified Arborists know how the west metro's mature trees handle alkaline soil, drought, and heavy snow. We bring the precision big trees need and leave your yard clean.

Customer Testimonials
“These guys are very knowledgeable, professional, and reasonably priced. They removed a tree and ground the stump down, trimmed 5 trees and applied a brace to one tree that needed support since it had two leaders, and cleaned up after. I would highly recommend them.”
Elaine W.“Great overall experience! Every member of the team, from the initial quote visit to the crew, was friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. The crew took time to walk the property before starting to ensure agreement on the planned work and walked it again after completion to make sure I was happy before leaving. They even accommodated a change in plans midway through with no complaints. I was completely satisfied with the work performed and would definitely recommend this company.”
Brian A.“Joshua Tree did a great job on our fire mitigation project! I was very concerned about finding the right match of people who would care about the trees and not make a mess out of things. Reece is fantastic and cared about the ecosystem and only cutting what was necessary. His team of workers were great too - got the job done quickly, with care and good clean up! I highly recommend Joshua Tree!”
Roxy F.Tree Care Services We Offer to Lakewood Residents
A towering cottonwood and a cramped side lot each demand a careful hand, so we look your trees over first and recommend only the work that keeps them safe.
Tree Trimming
Generations-old ash and cottonwood press against rooflines and carry heavy limbs a snow can bring down. Our tree trimming in Lakewood opens and balances the crown so it sheds snow and wind rather than trapping them.
Tree Removal & Stump Grinding
A cottonwood in decline or an ash the borer has taken, hanging over an older home, is a real danger. We carry out tree removals in Lakewood safely even in cramped side yards and grind the stump flush with the ground.
Tree Cabling & Bracing
A big cottonwood with two competing leaders isn't automatically firewood. Cabling and bracing supports that weak union and can add years of safe life under our snow loads.
Tree Health Programs
By the time an old tree looks unwell, the trouble is usually advanced. Our tree health programs keep trained eyes on your trees year to year and treat issues, the borer among them, before they spread.
Tree Fertilizing
Tight, high-pH soil under older yards starves mature trees and pales their leaves. Our deep-root fertilizing treatments deliver nutrients where the roots can use them.
Insect & Disease Management
The emerald ash borer is the top threat to the west metro's ash, while beetles and mites wear on drought-stressed evergreens. Our arborists catch the early signs and apply pest and disease treatments to shield the tree and the ones near it.
Arborist Inspections
Permits, home sales, and building near mature trees usually need paperwork. Our arborist reports set out a tree's condition, its risks, and a clear recommendation.
Lightning Protection
A towering cottonwood over a longtime Lakewood home is a natural draw in a summer storm. Our lightning protection systems route that charge to ground on a safe path and protect the house beneath it.
Emergency Tree Services
A snowstorm that snaps a limb or tilts a tree toward the house needs a fast answer, and emergency tree services in Lakewood bring one, clearing the danger and safeguarding the rest of the yard.

Commercial Tree Care
Customers judge a property the moment they arrive, and overgrown or borer-hit trees send the wrong message. Our commercial tree service keeps your grounds polished and safe and clears the low, dead limbs that create liability over entrances and walkways.
From storefronts along the corridors to office parks, we maintain your trees on a dependable schedule and work around your hours. When snow or wind brings a limb down, we clear it fast so you can stay open.
From Branches to Roots: Tree Care Across the Mountain West
Lakewood's established neighborhoods are shaded by mature ash, honeylocust, and cottonwood rooted in tight, alkaline soil near the west foothills. Trees that old and that large, standing this close to houses, need skilled structural care, and the demanding soil is why deep-root feeding does so much for them.
The calendar sets the pace. The emerald ash borer is moving through the older ash, drought opens evergreens to beetles, and heavy, wet snow loads big crowns until limbs give. So we treat ash before the borer arrives, feed against the poor soil, and prune for structure ahead of the snow.

Lakewood Tree Care FAQs
Do I Need a Permit to Remove a Tree in Lakewood?
+
The city regulates some tree work, and requirements can hinge on the tree's size, location, or whether it sits in the right-of-way. We'll check what your address needs and handle any permits before the work starts.
How Much Does it Cost to Remove a Tree in Lakewood?
+
Price depends on size, condition, and how close the tree stands to the house and utilities - a tight removal near power lines takes more care and rigging than an open one. We quote in writing after seeing it in person, so the figure holds.
What Are the Benefits of Tree Trimming?
+
Pruning takes out dead and weak limbs before they drop, opens the canopy to light and air, and guides a tree while it's still manageable. On a mature tree it markedly reduces snow and wind damage and keeps it healthier for longer.
How Often Should I Trim My Trees?
+
A visit every couple of years works for most trees, while the big ones over the house deserve a closer eye. We'll land on an interval from each tree's species, age, and spot in the yard.
What Time of Year is Best for Tree Pruning?
+
For most species the sweet spot runs late winter into early spring, when the tree is dormant and wounds close cleanly. We stay off ash while the borer is flying in the warm season, though a dangerous limb is dealt with whenever it turns up.
What Does Tree Fertilizing Include?
+
It's a root-zone feeding: a nutrient blend injected into the soil right at the roots. In the tight, high-pH soil common across the west metro, that brings greener leaves, sturdier roots, and better resistance to pests and drought.
Why Do My Trees Need Cabling?
+
Trees with weak branch unions or multiple trunks may be at risk of splitting or breaking, especially in storms. Cabling adds extra support to reduce the risk of damage and keep your trees standing tall.
