How Lakewood Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 80907 in Colorado Springs, Colorado (CO) sits in zone 6a with winter lows down to -10 F. That climate forces a focus on cold-hardy trees that can survive deep freezes. In contrast, Lakewood's zone 10a rarely sees frost.

The practical difference is drought tolerance. Colorado Springs gets dry winters and summer drought, but trees also need extreme cold tolerance. Lakewood's mild winters allow a wider selection of drought-adapted trees without the cold worry.

ZIP 06385 in Waterford, Connecticut (CT) is zone 7a with winter lows 0 to 5 F. Summers there are humid and hot. Lakewood's dry heat is different.

Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle humidity and occasional frost. In Lakewood, trees that need dry winter dormancy do better.

ZIP 35010 in Alexander City, Alabama (AL) is zone 8a with winter lows 10 to 15 F. Winters are cooler than Lakewood's but still mild.

Locally, that points buyers toward trees that can handle light frost but not deep freezes. For Lakewood, many zone 8a trees also work, but you can add less cold-hardy species like the Christmas Palm.

For Lakewood buyers, these contrasts show that your zone 10a climate allows a broader palette of trees, especially those that dislike extended cold.

Buying trees in Lakewood 90713: what locals should know

Ordering a large tree online is not like ordering a lamp. Here is what is worth knowing before you buy, from reading your hardiness zone to what actually shows up on the truck.

How to read your hardiness zone

Lakewood 90713 sits in USDA zone 10a. Your zone describes the coldest winter a tree can reliably survive. In a near-tropical zone almost nothing is too tender, so the filter works in reverse: it flags trees that need winter chill they will never get here.

Typical winter lows here run about 30 to 35 F. Half-zones matter at the edges: two steps on the map are about five winter degrees, which is enough to decide whether a borderline pick belongs in your cart.

What freight delivery actually means

Your tree arrives large, nursery-grown and at a usable landscape size, secured to a pallet and delivered curbside or as close as the truck can safely get. Before delivery day, run through this quick checklist:

  • Someone can be home to receive the tree and look it over on arrival.
  • A freight truck can reach your street, with room to stop or turn around.
  • You know where you want it dropped: curbside, or as close as the driver can safely get.
  • Access watch-outs are handled: narrow driveways, soft ground after rain, low branches or wires.

The guarantee, in plain terms

If a tree does not survive its first year, we replace it free, shipping included. The promise works because every tree ships zone-matched and nursery-grown, so it arrives set up to succeed in your climate rather than gambling against it.

Coverage runs a full year from delivery. If something goes wrong, contact the team and they arrange the replacement. No store-credit games, no fine-print maze.
