ArborScape Tree Service

Studies show CO trees are being ravaged by insects, but ArborScape’s pest control services are here to keep your trees healthy throughout the seasons. It’s been noted that the fluctuating weather seems to be the main cause as to why our trees have become so susceptible to a variety of pests that can cause insurmountable disease and other damage to our trees here. Each tree we see we see here in Colorado has different needs, whether a native or nonnative species. But what each tree needs is stability, even with season changes. Without that stable weather a tree has grown accustomed to, it can respond in a similar way that we get sick; with various symptoms that open our immune system to other attacks. However, there are actions to take that help prevent these attacks or at least help mitigate the symptoms until we’re healed. And we can do the same with trees. Most of the time, pest control is used once insects have already attacked your trees. This is typically because you don’t n...

We’re sure by now you’ve heard time and time again the many wonderful benefits of trees. These benefits include giving us oxygen that we need to breathe, absorbing CO2, providing habitats for wildlife, and aiding with mental health. But trees can provide even more than that! Here, we’ll discuss the added benefits of trees and the power that maintaining their health can have for not just you, but the entire community. Benefits of Trees To add to what we already know about trees providing oxygen, have you ever noticed that in areas with more trees, the air tends to smell better? That’s because trees also help absorb odors and pollutant gasses and aid in filtering particulates in the air by trapping them in leaves and bark.  This helps make the oxygen around us even cleaner, which is incredibly important for such a widespread city like ours.  Besides cleaning our air, having quality planted trees in urban and suburban areas has shown to have benefits in natural healing for...

With snow on the ground and frigid temperatures abound, it’s clear to see that winter is well underway here in Denver. But did you know that even with snow or sleet, your trees can still be at risk for winter drought? We’ve seen many environmental disorders in trees due to non-native species being planted here in Colorado. While we love a diverse urban forest, this can lead to plant health issues because some trees aren’t equipped to thrive here without assistance. We’ve mentioned before that due to Denver’s high elevation, being closer to the sun means that any moisture we receive tends to evaporate into the air rather than get absorbed into the soil. And we all know that water is an essential component of a tree’s overall health. Thanks to last spring’s amount of precipitation, Denver is no longer considered to be in drought, but that doesn’t mean your trees or plants aren’t prone to drought stress. Additionally, droughts can happen at any time of the year, not just when and whe...
