Essential Watering
Water is essential to trees and shrubs. In Colorado we receive around 40% the national average of moisture each year.
Winter snowstorms can be far and few between with periods of long, hot dry spells. Without enough soil moisture trees will become dehydrated, stop growing, and go into decline.
It’s vital to provide an adequate amount of water (not too much or too little) for tree and shrub health and growth.
Why Is Essential Watering Important?
Dry Spells
Colorado’s persistent dry spells make watering essential to replace lost moisture, support nutrient uptake, and keep trees healthy and resilient
Heat Stress
Regular watering prevents heat-stress-induced decline by helping trees regulate temperature and maintain healthy growth.
Nutrients
Busy Lives
It provides convenient, consistent care for trees without adding work for busy homeowners.
Health
It extends the life and long-term health of your trees and shrubs by keeping them properly hydrated year-round.

WE WOULD LOVE TO HELP
We always joke with our customers that water is the hardest sell we have, because we are selling you water. But in reality, it’s not just water. We add essential nutrients and minerals to the water making it more of an organic drink. Also, we are all busy. In this fast-paced world we live in today, who has time to water their trees.
We would love to sit down and show you what our watering plans look like. From frequency to desired outcomes, we are here to help.
Did You Know?
Even in the winter, Colorado trees are constantly losing moisture. Our dry air, high winds, and intense sun pull water from needles and branches faster than frozen soil can replace it — a condition called winter desiccation. Without supplemental watering, trees slowly dehydrate through the cold months, leading to browning needles, dieback in spring, and long-term decline. Winter watering protects roots when they’re most vulnerable and helps trees wake up healthier in the growing season.
