We specialize in providing services to the wide variety of trees in the local climate. Trees become very stressed during drought and lack of water over a long period of time can kill the trees. During times of drought, trees often show the effects of the hot, dry weather and continue to die even if the rain does come back, if a tree is dying it can be very dangerous and unstable and even fall on your home. Signs of a dying tree: broken limbs, leaves eaten by insects, substantial damage to the trunk or roots, dead or dying limbs discolored or wilted leaves, sawdust in the root zone or trunk base, fungi growth at the base of the tree, hollow and decayed areas, mushrooms and insect damage. Stressed pine trees may be attacked by pine bark beetles, usually one or more of the three species of engraver beetles. These insects fly to a weakened or stressed pine tree and attack by boring through the bark. They feed and lay their eggs between the bark and the wood. Once the needles on a pine tree turn red, the tree is dead, and there is nothing that can be done to save it. Hardwood or broadleaved trees such as oaks, maples, hickories, etc., will not be attacked by pine bark beetles, but drought will take its toll on these trees, too. Trees are very unpredictable once they have been through drought. They can catch diseases such as root decay and blotches that lead to fungi growth. Dying trees in a drought can also cause pest problems (beetles and moths) for a home so it is important for homeowners to seek a company such as ourselves to remove that problem. Tree Injections are an option to protect your trees from bacteria, disease and pest but it is not a guaranteed process We are one of a few tree companies that carry workers compensation to ensure the homeowners protection!
