What Are Signs Your Trees Could Benefit From Our Tree Care Services?
Adequate tree care yields numerous benefits, including improving safety, extending a tree’s lifespan, and enhancing your landscape. Sometimes it can be hard to know when to call for help, though.
Some of the key signs you could benefit from our tree care services are:
- Visible dead or decaying branches: Deadwood poses a safety hazard and often signals poor tree health. These branches can fall unexpectedly, potentially damaging property or injuring people below.
- Fungal growth at the base or trunk: If left untreated, fungal growth can compromise the structural integrity of the tree and lead to failure over time.
- Unseasonal leaf shedding or discoloration: Stress, pests, or disease may be causing premature leaf drop. This is often one of the first visible signs that your tree is struggling and needs professional attention.
- Cracks or splits in the trunk: Cracks may appear after storms or from rapid growth, and they make the tree more vulnerable to pests, disease, and breakage.
- Pest infestations: An excessive amount of insects or boreholes suggest the tree’s health is compromised. Infestations can spread quickly and cause irreversible damage if not properly managed.

Can Tree Services Save Damaged or Diseased Trees?
Early detection and the right intervention can often restore trees to health. Our trained arborists use proven techniques to treat disease, improve soil conditions, and stabilize structures. Even trees that look beyond saving can sometimes recover with targeted care and consistent monitoring. Rather than removing valuable shade trees or mature specimens prematurely, let us evaluate the situation and offer tailored recommendations.
Which Tree Diseases Are Most Common in Florida?
Florida’s warm, humid climate creates the perfect environment for a variety of tree diseases to thrive. One of the most common is Laurel Wilt Disease, which affects redbay, avocado, and other trees in the laurel family. Spread by ambrosia beetles, this disease causes rapid wilting and death, and once infected, trees usually cannot be saved. It’s become a major concern for both homeowners and agricultural producers.
How Do We Diagnose Tree Health Issues?
Tree issues come in many forms. Some issues are easy to detect, while others might require some thorough investigation. Before taking action on your property, our tree-care professionals use a thorough, science-based approach to diagnose the leading tree health concerns.
Our process includes:
- Visual inspection: We assess the trunk, branches, leaves, and roots for obvious signs of stress, disease, pests, or physical damage.
- Soil and moisture analysis: We test the soil’s nutrient levels, pH, and compaction to see if poor growing conditions are contributing to health decline.
- Pest and disease identification: Using magnification tools and lab support, we identify any insects or pathogens affecting the tree’s health.
- Tree structure and stability assessment: We evaluate the integrity of the tree’s trunk and limbs to determine if it’s at risk of falling or breaking.
- Historical and environmental review: Our tree-care team looks at factors like recent construction, storm events, or irrigation changes that may have impacted the tree’s well-being.
How Can Deep Root Fertilization Improve Tree Vitality?
Deep root fertilization is a specialized method of delivering nutrients directly into the root zone of trees. Unlike surface-level fertilizing, this technique bypasses the compacted topsoil, getting nutrients where trees need them most.
This process improves soil structure and increases the availability of water and oxygen around the roots, which leads to healthier growth and stronger resistance to pests and diseases. Trees that undergo deep root fertilization often develop fuller canopies, improved color, and better resilience during periods of drought or stress. Regular deep root fertilization is particularly beneficial for urban or residential trees, where natural nutrient cycling is disrupted by landscaping or construction.
How Often Should You Consider Tree Pruning?
Most trees benefit from professional pruning every 1 to 3 years, depending on the species, age, and overall health. Younger trees often need more frequent shaping to promote strong structure, while mature trees may only need occasional thinning or removal of deadwood. Seasonal timing is also important—winter and early spring are often ideal. Our arborists can recommend the right schedule based on your specific landscape.
Can You Save a Tree After Storm Damage?
Trees in Florida often suffer during storms, whether from high winds, lightning, or excessive water. The good news is that many storm-damaged trees can be saved with prompt and proper care. It all depends on the extent of the damage and the tree’s overall health before the storm hit.
Minor limb loss or canopy thinning can usually be addressed through corrective pruning and structural support. Even if a tree loses a large branch, it may recover if the main trunk and root system remain intact. Applying wound treatments and reducing stress with fertilization and watering can help speed up recovery.
However, if the trunk is split, the root system is severely compromised, or the tree is leaning dangerously, removal might be necessary. A professional arborist can determine whether salvaging the tree is safe and worthwhile or if replacement is the better option for your property.
