Big cottonwoods and silver maples along the St. Vrain and the older neighborhoods shed dead limbs after summer downslope winds and the first heavy, wet snows of fall. Emerald ash borer reached Boulder County in 2013 and continues to drive ash removals across Longmont.
Permit information
Trees on private property in Longmont generally do not need a city permit to trim or remove. Trees in the public right-of-way — the strip between sidewalk and street — belong to the city and are handled by its Forestry division; a contractor can confirm which side of the line your tree is on before any work starts.
Note: permit requirements vary by locality — confirm what Longmont requires before work begins.
