Fall is a hard season to predict along Colorado’s Front Range. The earliest freeze in Denver was on September 8, 1962, but just 18 years earlier it didn’t come till November 15. In 1961 it snowed on Labor Day! The National Weather Service pegs October 7 as the average first freeze date, but if you’ve lived in Colorado for any length of time, you know there’s nothing “average” about the weather here. Even the experts can only nail down the first frost to 60-day window.

Fall is the best time to plant most deciduous (leafy) trees. It gives them a head start on spring growth while they concentrate on building a healthy root system over the winter.
As long as the soil is workable, trees can be planted, and in most lower-altitude Colorado locations that means planting time extends well into late fall and even early winter before subsoil freezing becomes an issue.

Jul 28, 2022 | Tree Trimming and Pruning

Experts agree that the best time to prune most landscape is from mid-February until early March. The trees are still dormant but are nearing the time that new growth will emerge. Late winter pruning allows enough time for the wounds to heal without exposing them to a full winter of stress. Plus, it encourages new growth to occur in places you want it.

So you want to sell your house? Curb appeal is one of three drivers in a home purchase; the others being price point and neighborhood. Changing your neighborhood is out of your control. You do have control over the price point you set for your property, but you’re wise enough to know that an offer will likely come in lower than the asking price, so why rush it. Curb appeal? Well get on it!
Put a fresh coat of paint on the front door, lay down a new doormat, fix the hinge on the screen door so that it doesn’t drag when the door is opened, put a fresh seat cushion on that front porch swing and cluster planters filled with bright geraniums and vines as thick as draperies on the walkway by the first step to the porch. Add a few lanterns with LED candles (vs. wax candles that will melt) and your house looks like it is right out of Martha Stewart Living.
That is until you take a hard look at the yard.

When Paul Donovan got the urgent notification, he happened to be just blocks away from Congress Park. A certified arborist, his is an outside job. Within minutes he was on the scene in Congress Park. Because that’s what first responders do.
Donovan is a Certified Arborist. The customer calling for his help had used his services for the last 5 years. Denver Water had begun its replacement of the water main along Milwaukee Street from 6th to 13th avenues. A backhoe operator at work digging up the old sewer main had pivoted his backhoe around and slammed the bucket of the truck hard into the tree resulting in a 4 foot crack in the bark at the trunk. The bark had loosened.

Fall snowstorms can be very destructive. Trees are still leafed out and the heavy, wet snow creates all sorts of havoc when branches break under the weight. Power lines are ripped down, streets become littered and hazardous, and property damage is widespread—from cars to roofs and windows.
