Aurora Tree Service From a Company That Lives Here
Our shop is at 312 Norfolk St, Unit A, in Aurora 80011 — not a franchise territory, not a branch office of somebody else's brand. Aurora has an estimated 110,000 ash trees and roughly 90 percent of them stand on private property, which means the biggest tree decision in this city is being made in back yards, one at a time. We walk your lot and put the answer in writing before anyone touches a branch.
No pushy sales. No surprise charges. Just a certified arborist, a clear quote, and a job done right.

- Emerald ash borer reached Aurora in June 2025. City crews removed dead ash near Quincy Reservoir.
- About 90 percent of Aurora's ash are on private property. That makes this a back-yard decision, not a city one.
- The city is removing its own ash, not saving them. Roughly 50 of about 4,700 city ash are planned for treatment.
- Aurora's forestry manager, Adrian Camacho: "All (Ash) trees will succumb to this insect over time."
- Forestry superintendent Gopal Ghimire: "This is the best time to start monitoring this pest and start treatments."
- Once infected, an ash is expected to die within three to five years.

Aurora Is Fifty Years Wide
This is not one canopy, it is three. Hoffman Heights medians a 1953 build year; Tallyn's Reach medians 2006. What your trees need depends on which Aurora you live in.
West Aurora — The 1950s Core
- Hoffman Heights — median 1953, built to house WWII veterans
- Del Mar Parkway — median 1952, bungalows and brick ranches
- Dense Siberian elm in the front yards, per local guides
- Siberian elm grows fast, builds weak unions, and sheds limbs early
- Priority: deadwood removal and structural pruning
The Middle Ring — The Ash Belt
- Dam East/West — median 1974, established tree cover
- Heather Gardens — median 1977, cottonwoods along the creeks
- Meadowood — 1970s and early '80s, quarter-acre lots
- This is where ash went in as the default shade tree
- Priority: an ash inventory of your own lot
East Aurora — The New Build
- Tallyn's Reach — median 2006, trees 20 to 25 years old
- Aurora Highlands — 4,000 acres, 32 parks, 21 miles of trails
- Governed largely by HOAs and metro districts
- Young trees are the cheapest trees you will ever fix
- Priority: early structural pruning while cuts are small

"Derek and the crew did an outstanding job removing a massive cottonwood that had been threatening our roof for years. On time, professional, cleaned up every last branch, and charged exactly what they quoted. Won't use anyone else."
