Common Tree Health Problems We Treat

Maryland trees face several common health challenges. Recognizing these problems early makes treatment more effective.

Fungal Diseases: Issues like anthracnose, powdery mildew, and root rot can weaken trees over time. We identify the specific fungus affecting your tree and recommend appropriate treatment.

Insect Infestations: Emerald ash borers, gypsy moths, and scale insects damage trees from the inside out. Early detection and treatment can save your trees from these destructive pests.

Nutrient Deficiencies: Poor soil or lack of nutrients shows up as yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and thin canopy. Our fertilization programs address these deficiencies.

Environmental Stress: Drought, soil compaction, and construction damage all stress trees and make them more vulnerable to other problems. We help trees recover and build resilience.

Ongoing Maintenance Programs

The best way to keep trees healthy is through regular, scheduled maintenance. Our maintenance programs include periodic inspections, seasonal care, and prompt treatment when issues arise. We track your trees' health over time and adjust care as needed.

Regular maintenance is more cost-effective than dealing with major problems after they develop. It also extends the life of your trees and helps them withstand storms and environmental stress.
