When Should You Remove Shrubs?
Overgrown or invasive shrubs
Some shrubs quickly outgrow their space or spread aggressively, choking out other plants and creating a messy, unmanageable appearance.
​
Dying or diseased plants
Dead or unhealthy shrubs can become unsightly and may harbor pests or diseases that spread to nearby trees and plants.
​
Improved curb appeal
Removing outdated or poorly placed shrubs can dramatically enhance your property’s appearance and create room for new, intentional landscaping.
​
Space for new plantings
Planning to install new trees, flowers, or features? Removing unwanted shrubs opens up space for fresh design opportunities.
​
Prevent damage to structures or utilities
Shrubs planted too close to foundations, fences, or irrigation systems can cause long-term damage if not properly managed or removed.
A Thoughtful, Educated Approach
At Iron Spruce Tree Care, we believe informed decisions lead to better landscapes. Our team will assess your shrubs, walk you through your options, and explain the removal process clearly—without pressure or confusing terminology. You’ll get honest, expert advice and transparent communication every step of the way.
Types of Shrubs We Remove
We handle the removal of all kinds of overgrown, dead, or unwanted shrubs commonly found in Colorado landscapes. These woody plants often require professional equipment and expertise to remove safely—especially when they’re well-established or planted near structures. Some of the most frequently removed shrubs include:
-
Juniper – Extremely common and notoriously tough to remove due to dense root systems.
-
Lilac – Popular in Colorado, but older lilacs can become woody, unproductive, and difficult to manage.
-
Spirea – Often used for seasonal color, but can become overcrowded or leggy over time.
-
Privet – Fast-growing and dense, often outgrows its space and becomes invasive in hedgerows.
-
Rose bushes – Thorny and high-maintenance; older or diseased shrubs are frequently removed.
-
Cotoneaster – Found in many older landscapes, but can be invasive and form dense thickets.
-
Barberry – Drought-tolerant but thorny and invasive; often removed for safety or replanting.
-
Ninebark – A common ornamental shrub that can get oversized or woody with age.
We also remove dead, diseased, or poorly placed shrubs of all types. If you're unsure what you have, we’re happy to identify the plant and recommend the best course of action.
