Signs Your Trees Need Professional Care

Trees often show symptoms when experiencing health problems, though these signs may be subtle at first. Early intervention significantly improves treatment success and can save trees that might otherwise decline. Watch for these common warning signs that indicate your trees need professional assessment:

• •Leaf Problems: Discolored, spotted, wilted, or undersized leaves, or premature leaf drop outside normal seasonal patterns.
• •Branch Dieback: Dead or dying branches in the canopy, especially when multiple branches are affected or dieback progresses over time.
• •Bark Damage: Cracks, splits, missing bark, unusual growths, or areas where bark appears loose or peeling.
• •Fungal Growth: Mushrooms, conks, or other fungal bodies growing on trunk, roots, or soil near the tree base indicating decay.
• •Pest Evidence: Holes in bark, sawdust at tree base, visible insects, or sticky honeydew deposits on leaves and surfaces below.

Annual Maintenance Programs

The most effective approach to tree health is preventive care through scheduled maintenance programs. Our annual tree care programs include spring and fall inspections by certified arborists, seasonal treatments for common pests and diseases, soil testing and fertilization as needed, pruning and structural maintenance, watering schedule adjustments based on weather patterns, and priority emergency response if problems arise. Program members receive detailed reports after each visit documenting tree conditions, treatments applied, and recommendations for ongoing care.

Scheduled maintenance programs are significantly more cost-effective than reactive emergency treatments. By catching problems early and maintaining optimal conditions, you avoid expensive tree removal, minimize property damage risk, and extend tree lifespan substantially. Trees under regular professional care are healthier, more attractive, and provide greater value to your property. Contact us to discuss customized maintenance program options for your landscape.
