About Ironwood Earthcare

Ironwood Earthcare is a family-owned tree care company based in Aurora, Colorado, serving the Denver metro since 2003. Derek Stroden started it. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Forestry from Colorado State University and an ISA Certified Arborist credential, and an ISA Certified Arborist walks each property before any work is quoted. The work covers tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, pest and disease control, tree injections for ash and stressed trees, and lawn fertilization and weed control. It works on ash, silver maple, honeylocust, cottonwood and pine. Pruning follows ANSI A300, and the company does not top trees. Its credentials include ISA Member, ISA Certified Tree Worker Climber Specialist, a Colorado Department of Agriculture license for tree and lawn applications, and a Certified Spray Supervisor license. It carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance and hands over the certificate before work starts. A job begins with a free on-site assessment and a written, itemized quote, with no trip charge, no deposit and no contract. "Nobody touches a branch until you say go." Cleanup is part of the price: "Chips hauled, limbs gone, lawn raked." Crews work Aurora, Denver, Centennial, Parker, Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Englewood, Littleton and Greenwood Village, and the communities between them. The shop is at 312 Norfolk St, Unit A, in Aurora, open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Ironwood Earthcare suits a homeowner or HOA board in the Denver metro with a few trees to trim, treat or take down, who wants a written price and a certificate of insurance before anyone climbs.
