Keeping an eye on your trees can help to save a sick tree before it’s too late and you’re left with a dead tree to remove. Any of the following are signs that a tree might be sick or dying: lack of healthy buds or branches, many of the branches are brittle and snap easily, vertical cracks in the trunk, loos/missing bark, pests or fungi feeding on the tree, or if the tree is visibly leaning to the side. Contact us if you notice any of these.

Regular tree maintenance like pruning services can preserve your trees’ lives and promote proper health. In addition, when doing yard work such as mowing, take special care to not damage your tree’s root system. Just like a wound on the body can cause infection, a wound to a tree’s trunk or roots can cause it to become sick.
