What are the most common tree diseases in Dallas and Fort Worth?

Common tree diseases in the DFW Metroplex include oak wilt, root rot, powdery mildew, and bacterial leaf scorch. Our arborists are trained to diagnose and treat these issues.

How do you diagnose tree diseases?

We diagnose tree diseases through visual inspections and arborist expertise, and may also evaluate soil and tree condition factors to identify the issue and recommend the right treatment.

Can tree diseases be treated?

Yes. Many tree diseases can be controlled or slowed with targeted treatments such as injections, soil management, deep root fertilization, and pruning of infected areas.

How do I prevent my trees from getting sick?

Preventative care such as proper watering, pruning, soil aeration, and proactive treatments can greatly reduce the risk of tree diseases.

Help With Sick Trees in North Texas

Many homeowners don’t notice a problem until something changes:

Leaves turning brown or yellow
Premature leaf drop
Thinning canopy
Dead limbs appearing
Fungus on trunk or branches
Cracking bark
Trees not leafing out properly
Sudden decline after construction
Trees struggling after drought or freeze

By the time symptoms appear, stress has often been building for months — sometimes years.

Our job is to determine:

• Is this disease?
• Is this environmental stress?
• Is this soil compaction?
• Is this overwatering or poor drainage?
• Is this insect pressure?
• Or is this simply natural aging?

Proper diagnosis always comes before treatment.

Professional Tree Disease Diagnosis & Treatment

We provide expert evaluation and treatment for common North Texas tree diseases including:

Anthracnose
Hypoxylon Canker
Oak Wilt (when applicable)
Root Rot
Fungal Leaf Spot
Stress-induced fungal infections

Not every tree showing symptoms is diseased. Many trees suffer from environmental stress that mimics disease.

We assess:

Species-specific vulnerabilities
Soil conditions
Drainage patterns
Recent construction activity
Irrigation habits
Weather stress history

Treatment plans may include:

Systemic fungicide applications
Soil-applied treatments
Targeted trunk injections
Vigor-improving nutrient programs

Our goal is not just to treat symptoms — but to improve overall tree vitality and resilience.

Deep Root Feeding & Tree Fertilization

Many declining trees in DFW are not diseased — they are nutrient deficient.

North Texas clay soil can:

Restrict oxygen flow to roots
Limit nutrient absorption
Retain excessive moisture
Create compaction issues

Our deep root feeding service delivers nutrients directly into the root zone where they are needed most.

We provide:

Balanced fertilizer applications
Deep root injection feeding
Iron supplementation
Micronutrient correction
Soil health improvement programs

Proper fertilization strengthens root systems, improves canopy density, and increases resistance to disease and environmental stress.

Insect & Pest Management

We provide treatment for common North Texas tree pests including:

Borers
Scale insects
Leaf-eating insects
Stress-related infestations

Early detection and proper treatment can prevent permanent damage.

Iron Deficiency & Chlorosis Correction

Yellowing leaves with green veins are common signs of iron chlorosis in North Texas soils.

We provide:

Iron injections
Soil amendments
Micronutrient treatments
Ongoing monitoring programs

Correcting iron deficiency can dramatically improve tree appearance and overall health when addressed properly.

Pre-Construction Tree Protection & Stress Prevention

Construction is one of the most common causes of tree decline in DFW.

Soil compaction, grade changes, root disturbance, and heavy equipment traffic can severely stress mature trees — especially species like Post Oaks and Live Oaks.

We provide:

Pre-construction tree health treatments
Root zone protection recommendations
Post-construction recovery programs
Vigor-enhancing nutrient plans

Preventative treatment before and during construction dramatically improves a tree’s ability to survive environmental change.

Heat Stress, Drought & Supplemental Watering

Texas summers are brutal on trees.

Improper watering is one of the most common contributors to decline.

Some trees need deep soaking followed by complete dry cycles. Others cannot tolerate standing water.

We help homeowners understand:

Proper watering schedules
Deep watering techniques
Supplemental watering during drought
Avoiding overwatering and root rot

Tree health is not just about chemicals — it is about managing the entire ecosystem around the tree.

Arborist Field Notes – 38 Years in North Texas

“The healthiest trees we treat aren’t the ones already dying — they’re the ones we strengthen before decline begins. Fertility, micronutrients, and proper watering often prevent disease before it ever takes hold.”

— Gary, Tree Masters

Reactive & Proactive Tree Health

Some clients call when a tree is already declining.

Others invest in preventative care.

We serve both.

Preventative tree health programs often include:

Disease monitoring
Structural assessments

Healthy trees are less expensive to maintain than trees in crisis.
