Best Trees for Denver

That’s right! The Park People has compiled our list of favorite trees to plant in Denver neighborhoods. These species are generally tough, resilient trees that tolerate Colorado’s arid environment and Denver’s urban conditions. We consult with the Denver City Forester and other trusted tree experts and also base this list on our experience planting 65,000 trees in Denver over the past 50+ years.

Our list is currently under construction, so you’ll see a prettier and more complete version in upcoming months. In the meantime, you’ll still get great recommendations for our favorite trees for Denver’s neighborwoods!
