Who Treats Tree Diseases?

When you or a family member gets sick, you call a doctor. But who treats tree diseases when you think your tree is sick? In that case, it’s an arborist that you’ll want to turn to for assistance. A Certified Arborist is someone who has been trained to maintain and care for trees and will bring a level of knowledge and experience to your property that the average homeowner or business owner can’t be expected to hold. 

If you know that one of the trees on your property is diseased, or if you simply think there may be a problem, don’t wait any longer to get help. The Certified Arborists at TLC are ready to evaluate the condition of your trees and develop a treatment plan based on that evaluation. Give us a call today to learn more about our tree insect and disease management services.

Who Treats Tree Diseases?

It’s an arborist you will want to call when you have problems with your trees. Of course, that arborist isn’t going to live on your property full-time, so you can actually serve as the first line of defense when it comes to caring for your trees. Even without any formal training or knowledge, you can spot signs of trouble simply by paying attention. 

Take note when anything looks different about your trees. Are the leaves not growing properly, or do they look damaged in some way? What about the condition of the bark on the tree? Even if you don’t know what these changes might mean, simply noticing a change is a good enough reason to get help from a professional who can then deal with the matter properly. 

What Do Arborists Do for Trees?

Tree pruning, tree removal, disease management, planting and stump grinding are all vital tree care tasks carried out by professional arborists. Certified professionals must perform this arborist work since it can be dangerous, and further damage can be done to a tree when handled inappropriately.

You can certainly turn to an arborist for help dealing with a diseased tree, but that’s just one of many services these professionals will likely offer. If you need to have a tree safely removed, that’s another reason to call in an arborist – and the same goes for having a tree maintained by cutting it back strategically to keep it healthy while also serving your needs. 

On the other end of the life cycle, planting trees correctly is undoubtedly another crucial task. Properly planting trees will give those trees the best possible chance at a healthy, long life here in Wyoming. 

Dealing with Insects

It’s somewhat surprising to consider the massive impact that tiny little insects can have on the health of massive trees. You might think at first that these little bugs would have no chance to do anything of note to the big, strong trees of Wyoming and beyond, but nothing could be further from the truth. 

Another way we can help care for your trees is by monitoring and treating trees that insects may impact. Specifically, the Mountain Pine Beetle and Douglas Fir Beetle have been doing massive damage across much of the continent, leaving countless dead and damaged trees in their wake. By using safe methods, we can fight back against an infestation of beetles to give the tree every possible chance to survive. 

Keeping People Safe

Arborists also play an important role in keeping people safe when living and working around trees. Anytime a tree is over your head there is at least some threat that a branch will fall and create a dangerous situation. That threat goes up dramatically if the tree is weakened by disease. The help of an arborist can allow for the right branches to be removed to make everyone safer while still aiming to save the tree in the long run, if possible. 

Dealing with diseased trees properly can give the tree the best possible chance for a long and healthy life, and it can also help to keep people on the property safe.
