Emerald Ash Borer Is Killing Ash Trees in Lakewood

Emerald ash borer was first confirmed in Lakewood in September 2024, and it has been spreading through the city’s ash trees since. Most of those trees stand on private property, in yards, along driveways, and in HOA common areas.

Once an ash tree is heavily infested, it dies and turns brittle fast. Dead ash trees are dangerous to climb and can drop large limbs without warning. That makes ash one of the biggest reasons homeowners call for tree removal in Lakewood.

Why Lakewood Homeowners Need Tree Removal

Beyond ash borer, these are the most common reasons people call for tree removal in Lakewood.

Strong Foothill Winds

Downslope winds rush off the foothills into west Lakewood. Strong gusts snap weak limbs and can topple shallow-rooted trees near homes.

Heavy Spring Snow

Wet spring snow loads leafy branches until they crack. Storms like the May 2026 snowstorm bring down limbs across the metro, including Lakewood. After a storm, call for emergency tree removal.

Aging Trees in Older Neighborhoods

Many trees in east and central Lakewood were planted in the 1950s and 60s. Old Siberian elms, silver maples, and cottonwoods often decline, split, or outgrow their yards.

Roots, Driveways, and Sewer Lines

Fast-growing trees planted close to houses can lift driveways and sidewalks and invade sewer lines.
