When you make a mistake, it’s always a good feeling when someone gives you a second chance to do better. The same can be said for individuals with a criminal record or a past of substance abuse. While some employers will automatically turn down job applicants who have made these mistakes in the pa...

Much of the El Paso County community is still recovering from last week's wind storm and the resulting damage. Our thoughts are with you all and it is heartening to watch neighbors come together to help each other clean up. If the storm caused significant tree damage in your yard, you may be wondering what preventative steps you can take in the future.
1) Water your trees, especially your evergreens. When we have windy weather like we've been experiencing, the rate that water is lost through transpiration is increased. Because evergreens keep their foliage year-round, they are transpiring at times where water may not be available in the soil due to freezing temperatures. Watering when temperatures are warmer can help your evergreens stave off drought stress and desiccation.
2) If possible, wait until mid spring to prune out injured evergreen foliage. Pruning now may trigger new growth when the tree needs to put it's resources towards surviving the winter.
3) If you have trees that could be hazardous if they fell, consider talking to an ISA certified arborist about your options. Trees with structural issues like co-dominant trunks are the most likely to cause property damage. February and March are often months with gusty wind events in El Paso County. Take steps now to prepare.

Here is an excellent article about winter tree and shrub care from our very own, Fredricka Bogardus.https://sam.extension.colostate.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/44/2017/11/Nov-18-2017-Winter-care-for-trees.pdf

If you have questions about your trees feel free to email our Help Desk at [email protected] and we will do our best to provide you with evidence-based answers. We are not able to make site visits so please please send photos with your email.

Pictured is a Ponderosa that fell during the storm. You can see the fungal growth spreading through the tree as a result of a bark beetle infestation. This tree had damaged roots and was along a popular trail where it was subjected to a number of stresses. A stressed tree is more prone to an infestation such as this.

We closed early today due to power issues at the office. We will be available for clean up and fence repair starting tomorrow. Not safe for crews to be out in these conditions, but we're taking note of requests and will reply as we work through them all. Stay safe out there Colorado Springs!

Freeze warning coming at us this week! We'd recommend a quick drain of the supply or insulation of the exposed piping at the very least!
