Leaves Dropping

While it’s normal for trees to shed leaves in the fall, excessive leaf drops at other times of the year can cause concern. Trees may shed leaves due to stress caused by drought, compacted soil, or root damage. Tree service providers can assess the situation, identify the underlying problem, and suggest strategies to mitigate stress and promote healthy leaf retention.

No Leaves

When a tree doesn’t produce leaves during its normal growing season, it signifies a serious problem. It could result from severe stress, disease, or even pest infestations that have taken over the tree’s vital processes. A professional tree care company can inspect and recommend interventions, including pruning, fertilization, or disease management.

Oozing Sap

The presence of oozing sap or unusual liquids on a tree’s trunk can be a sign of pest activity or disease. Sap can sometimes serve as a defense mechanism for trees, but excessive or discolored sap might signify an issue that requires attention. As a reputable tree care company, we can identify the cause of sap oozing and determine whether it’s a sign of a deeper problem.

Cracks in the Bark

The bark is a protective layer for a tree, and cracks or splits in the bark can expose the tree to infections and pests. Suppose you notice significant cracks in your tree’s bark. In that case, it’s crucial to consult a trusted tree service to assess the tree’s structural integrity and recommend any necessary measures to prevent further damage.

Kathryn Arvidson

These guys were on point. Verified the request before beginning (always good, because the trees aren't coming back!). Then made sure the trimming was done to exactly where I wanted it. On time, fast, and completely cleaned up after - was a great experience. Highly recommend!
