Tell us what you want to screen

Local planters get your request
We pass it to independent tree planting companies that work in your area. They may pay us for the referral; you pay nothing to us.
Compare and choose
They contact you to look at the yard. Ask for a written quote naming species, height, number of trees and what planting includes.
Cost guide
How much does a privacy screen cost?
Tree price from two 2026 Colorado nursery lists plus the Colorado Tree Farm Nursery 2026 planting charge.
Height drives the price. A balled-and-burlapped Colorado blue spruce lists at $429.99 (6 ft) to $694.99 (10 ft) at Colorado Tree Farm Nursery in Colorado Springs, and $579 to $1,121 at Trees of Trail Canyon in Cortez. That nursery's planting crews charge $225 to plant a tree up to 6.5 ft and $450 for 10 ft, delivery included. Both lists come from nurseries outside the Denver metro (Colorado Springs and Cortez), and Colorado Tree Farm Nursery quotes planting separately outside El Paso County, so treat them as a guide to the market, not a local quote. See the full cost guide.

Local conditions
Why planting here takes some care
Elevation and dry winters
Lone Tree sits at about 6,280 feet and Castle Pines at about 6,560. CSU Extension warns that above 6,000 feet some evergreens on its recommended list are not adapted, and says most evergreens here benefit from extra water during dry spells from November to March.
Don't plant one species
Lone Tree's Forestry Plan says about 18% of the city's trees, an estimated 8,100, are evergreens, mostly Austrian pine, blue spruce and ponderosa pine, and that they are threatened by pine wilt. It quotes the Colorado State Forest Service: no one species should make up more than 10 percent of the trees planted.
Mixing two or three species in a screen spreads the risk. The species guide lists mature sizes so trees fit the space they'll grow into.
