Can a sick tree be saved?

In many cases, yes. If the disease or decline is identified early, proper treatment and ongoing care can often restore a tree’s health. Our arborists evaluate the severity of the issue and recommend the best option.

How do I know if my tree has a disease?

Common signs include leaf discoloration, premature leaf drop, dead branches, fungal growth, and poor growth. A professional diagnosis is the only way to determine the exact cause.

What causes trees to get sick?

Tree disease can be caused by fungal infections, insects, poor soil conditions, root damage, drought stress, or improper pruning. Often, multiple factors contribute to decline.

Do you remove trees that cannot be saved?

If a tree is too far gone or poses a safety risk, we will explain why removal may be necessary and discuss your options. Our goal is always to preserve healthy trees whenever possible.

When should I call a tree doctor?

If you notice sudden changes in your tree’s appearance or health, it’s best to call as soon as possible. Early diagnosis greatly increases the chances of successful treatment.

Sick Trees? Common Signs of Tree Disease

A sick tree doesn’t always look dead right away. Many problems start quietly and worsen over time. Contact us if you notice:

Yellowing, browning, or spotted leaves
Premature leaf drop
Dead or dying branches
Cracks, cankers, or oozing sap on the trunk
Fungal growth at the base of the tree
Thinning canopy or poor new growth
Insect activity or bore holes in the bark

These symptoms may indicate fungal disease, insect infestation, root problems, or environmental stress. Early diagnosis is critical to saving the tree.

Professional Tree Disease Diagnosis

Proper treatment always starts with an accurate diagnosis. Our arborists perform a thorough evaluation that may include:

Visual inspection of leaves, bark, and branch structure
Identification of fungal, bacterial, or insect-related issues
Assessment of soil conditions and root health
Review of recent weather stress, construction damage, or drainage problems

Rather than guessing, we determine why your tree is declining and whether treatment, ongoing care, or removal is the safest option.

Tree Disease Treatment Options

Once the problem is identified, we recommend the most effective solution based on tree species, severity, and site conditions. Treatment options may include:

Targeted pruning to remove diseased or dead branches
Soil and root-zone treatments
Disease and pest management plans
Structural support recommendations when needed
Long-term tree health and care strategies

Our goal is always to preserve healthy trees whenever possible while keeping your property safe.
