What do Longmont trees actually need?
Longmont has substantial mature street and yard tree canopy, including a significant ash component, and it sits in the same emerald ash borer landscape as the rest of Boulder County. Older Longmont neighborhoods also carry a lot of trees with historic poor pruning, including past topping, which leaves weakly attached regrowth that needs to be assessed rather than simply pruned again.

Is there an emerald ash borer problem in Longmont?
Longmont is in Boulder County, which is where emerald ash borer was first detected in Colorado. Boulder Forestry found it in the city in September 2013. Any ash tree in this area needs a decision: ongoing preventive treatment, or planned removal while the tree is still safe to work on. The Colorado quarantine around Boulder County was repealed effective December 30, 2019, but the pest itself is still active here.
How quickly can you get to a hazardous tree in Longmont?
Storm damage, hanging limbs, and trees that have failed but not fallen are treated as priority work rather than scheduled around a seasonal window. Call 303-630-9772 and describe what happened and what is underneath the tree.
Do I need a permit for tree work in Longmont?
It depends on the tree's location and the jurisdiction. Trees in a public right-of-way are generally managed by the municipality rather than the adjacent property owner. In the City of Boulder specifically, work on right-of-way trees and on pest-infested trees is restricted to arborists licensed by the City. Because the boundary between your tree and the public tree is not always obvious from the curb, confirm the status with your local forestry office before scheduling removal.
