Tree Service in Littleton, CO

Jurisdiction: Littleton.

Big cottonwoods, old elms, and mature shade trees over historic homes. Littleton tree care from an ISA Certified Arborist who plans every cut around your property.

Tree care in Littleton.

Littleton has some of the oldest, biggest trees in the south metro. Cottonwoods along the South Platte, mature elms and maples in the older neighborhoods around downtown, and big spruce and pine in yards that have been planted for decades all need experienced care.

The Littleton address also covers a lot of ground outside city limits, from established Jefferson County neighborhoods to newer homes to the south and west. No matter where the property is, the trees usually have the same problems: they're big, they're old, and they're close to the house.

Saw and Order Tree Care serves Littleton from our base in Highlands Ranch. Connor quotes every job in person with a written fixed price and climbs it himself, rigging large trees down in sections so historic homes, fences, and gardens stay intact.

Local Trees Trees on trial in Littleton.

The trees we see most in Littleton yards, and the problems worth watching for.

Common trees

  • Plains cottonwood
  • Siberian and American elm
  • Silver maple
  • Green ash
  • Colorado blue spruce
  • Ponderosa pine
  • Honeylocust
  • Box elder

Watch list

  • Cottonwood limb drop

    Old cottonwoods drop heavy limbs, sometimes on calm summer days. Regular deadwood removal and thinning lowers the risk.

  • Elm decline

    Older elms can carry decay and bark beetles. Dead branches high in the crown are a sign to have them checked.

  • Emerald ash borer

    Mature green ash is common in Littleton neighborhoods. Protect the healthy ones and plan for the rest before EAB forces the issue.

Questions & Answers Cross-examination: Littleton.

Do you work in unincorporated Littleton too?

Yes. We work across the Littleton area, including neighborhoods outside city limits. Text your address to 720-903-1285 if you're not sure.

Is my old cottonwood dangerous?

Maybe, maybe not. Cottonwoods commonly drop limbs as they age, but many can stay with good pruning. Connor will look at decay, unions, and what's under the tree before recommending anything.

Can you save an old tree instead of removing it?

Often. Deadwood removal, thinning, and targeted treatments can add years. If removal is the better call, you'll hear exactly why.

Do you haul away the wood?

Yes. Cleanup and haul-away are included in the price unless you'd like to keep some firewood.
