Healthy trees are the foundation of a beautiful landscape, providing shade, beauty, and environmental benefits for decades.

Our certified arborists understand the unique challenges trees face in the Pacific Northwest climate and provide proactive care that prevents problems before they become serious. From routine maintenance to disease treatment, we offer complete tree care solutions that protect your investment in your landscape.

Tree Health Assessment and Diagnosis

Regular tree health assessments are essential for identifying problems early when they are most treatable. Our arborists conduct thorough inspections that evaluate tree structure, foliage condition, bark health, and root systems. We look for signs of disease, pest infestations, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental stress. Using our expertise and diagnostic tools, we can identify issues that may not be obvious to untrained eyes, such as internal decay, root problems, or early stage diseases. Early detection allows us to implement treatment plans that can save trees that might otherwise decline or die.

Signs Your Trees Need Professional Care:

• Discolored, wilting, or prematurely dropping leaves
• Dead or dying branches in the canopy
• Unusual growths, cankers, or fungal bodies on bark
• Cracks, splits, or wounds in the trunk or major branches
• Thinning canopy or reduced leaf density
• Visible pest activity or damage
• Leaning or changes in tree structure

Disease and Pest Management

Pacific Northwest trees face numerous disease and pest threats including root rot, canker diseases, aphids, scale insects, and bark beetles. Our integrated pest management approach focuses on prevention first, using cultural practices and proper maintenance to keep trees healthy and resistant to problems. When treatment is necessary, we use targeted applications of appropriate treatments that address the specific issue while minimizing environmental impact. We also provide ongoing monitoring to ensure treatments are effective and problems do not return.

Proper tree trimming and pruning is a critical component of disease prevention. Removing dead and diseased branches eliminates infection sources and improves air circulation through the canopy, reducing conditions that favor fungal diseases. We also provide soil care services including fertilization, mulching, and soil amendment to ensure trees have the nutrients and growing conditions they need to maintain strong natural defenses against pests and diseases.

Preventive Maintenance Programs

The best approach to tree health is prevention through regular maintenance. We offer customized maintenance programs that include scheduled pruning, health inspections, fertilization, and pest monitoring. Regular care keeps trees in optimal condition and allows us to address small problems before they become major issues. Preventive maintenance is far more cost-effective than emergency interventions and significantly extends tree lifespan. Our maintenance programs are tailored to your specific trees and landscape goals, ensuring each tree receives the care it needs to thrive.
