Tree Health Analysis Services in the DFW Metroplex Area

Symptoms of Diseases or Pests

• Fungal Infections: Presence of mushrooms or fungal growth around the base of the tree could indicate rot or even root disease
• Insect Infestation: We'll check for signs of pests like borers, aphids, or termites, which can weaken the tree
• Bacterial or Viral Infections: Leaf spots, wilting, or lesions on branches can signal a bacterial or viral issue
• Discoloration or Decay: Any discoloration in bark or leaves may suggest disease or environmental stress

Soil and Environmental Factors

• Soil Quality: Poor soil conditions, compacted soil, or inadequate nutrients can affect tree health, so we'll examine the composition, moisture, and drainage
• Watering and Irrigation: Our team will assess whether overwatering and underwatering is an issue.
• Surrounding Environment: Factors like pollution, nearby construction, or changes in the landscape can stress a tree, so we'll consider sunlight, risk of root competition with other plants, or overall ventilation concerns

Visual Inspection

• Canopy Assessment: Healthy trees should have full, green leaves without signs of disease or stress
• Branch and Trunk Inspection: Our team looks for cracks, signs of rot, or breakage and evaluate structural integrity
• Root Zone Evaluation: We may check for visible signs of root damage or issues near the soil surface, such as soil compaction or lifting roots

Tree Age and Growth Rate

• Age of the Tree: Older trees are naturally more susceptible to stress and disease, and the overall growth rate can indicate whether the tree is growing optimally for its species and location
• Branch Structure and Growth Patterns: Our team will observe any irregularities in the tree's growth, which may indicate damage or structural issues like weak branching angles

Tree Stability and Risk Assessment

• Structural Integrity: An unbalanced or leaning canopy may be a risk during storms or high winds
• Hazard Potential: We check trees that are structurally unsound or close to homes, power lines, or other structures

Root Health

• Visible Root Damage: Exposure to the roots or visible signs of damage
• Root Circulation: Healthy roots spread evenly, while constricted, circling, or suffocated roots can hinder nutrient absorption and overall health
