Privacy tree planting in Lone Tree
Lone Tree is a home rule city of about 14,000 people (2020 Census), at about 6,280 feet.
How this works: Denver Privacy Trees is a free referral service, not a nursery or tree planting contractor. We pass your request to independent local tree planting companies, who may pay us for the referral. They quote, schedule and do the work; check their insurance before you hire. More about us.
What the city's Forestry Plan says
About 18% of Lone Tree's trees, an estimated 8,100, are evergreens, mostly Austrian pine, blue spruce and ponderosa pine, threatened by pine wilt. The plan quotes the Colorado State Forest Service: no one species should make up more than 10 percent of trees planted. It also lists planting too deep and piercing root balls with stakes as common mistakes.
Elevation
CSU Extension says some evergreens on its recommended list are not adapted above 6,000 feet, and Lone Tree is above that line. Ask planters what has done well nearby.
Your HOA
Most Lone Tree neighborhoods have HOA landscape rules. Check before you plant along a shared fence.
