What Does an Arborist Do?
Our trained arborists specialize in assessing your tree’s health, identifying diseases, and recommending the necessary solutions to improve it. Because tree diseases often share similar symptoms, accurate diagnosis is essential to preserving and improving your tree’s health. If you notice damaged bark, dying limbs, and brown-spotted leaves, we can dispatch our arborist to your home quickly for accurate identification.
Common Diseases We Identify
Extreme heat and humidity in the Greater Atlanta area contribute to some common tree diseases, including the following:
Oak wilt is a deadly vascular disease that disrupts an oak's ability to move water and nutrients. It spreads through connected root systems and insect carriers, and it can kill an infected oak quickly.
This fungal disease causes leaf spots, premature leaf drop, and branch dieback. Wet conditions worsen it and commonly affect sycamores, maples, and dogwoods.
Root rot is one of the most serious diseases in our area. It's caused by soil fungi such as Pythium, Rhizoctonia, and Armillaria, and it thrives in wet, poorly drained soil.
Seiridum canker tends to affect trees stressed by summer drought or heat, showing up as oozing bark cankers, yellowing, or browning foliage.
Protect Your Trees With Expert Care
If your tree becomes diseased, it doesn’t necessarily mean it needs to be removed. Catching a disease early can save your tree and save you the cost of removal down the road.
