Lawn Care
Because being green matters
To protect, and encourage the growth and vigor of your lawn, we offer the following services.
Many issues are simply caused by tree placement in a non-natural growing environment. Many species growing in our urban forests are not endemic to this climate, these trees are growing outside of their natural environments and are under constant stress due to climatic, soil, and irrigation insufficiencies. The Colorado front range region is considered a high altitude desert, not suitable for the natural existence of many of the trees and shrubs we “force” to live here. These unnatural growing conditions cause stress to the plants which in turn causes the emittance of a chemical scent (pheromone) which attracts damaging insects and pests to the plant, amongst other issues. By promoting overall plant health, we can prevent many of these destructive insect and disease pathogens.
Knothead Tree and Lawn Care is equipped with the experience, expertise, and equipment necessary to diagnose and treat a wide variety of plant ailments.
