Taking a Look at Soil and Roots
A lot happens underground long before trouble becomes obvious in the branches.
Tree roots depend on suitable moisture, soil conditions, and space. Compaction and changes around the root zone can place stress on an otherwise established tree. That’s one reason an assessment shouldn’t stop at the leaves.
Our approach considers visible root-zone conditions along with the rest of the tree. If you’re asking about soil care for trees or options such as deep root fertilization, our arborist can evaluate the situation and discuss what is appropriate for that particular tree.
Preventive Tree Care in Urbana
You don’t have to wait until half of a canopy is bare to ask about a tree.
Preventive care is useful when you want to keep track of mature trees or you’ve noticed small changes that haven’t become serious. An arborist inspection can establish how a tree is doing now and flag visible concerns that deserve attention.
Preventive tree care in Urbana can also make future decisions easier. Once you know what to watch, changes from one season to the next become easier to recognize.
Health Care for Shrubs
Shrubs often get less attention than larger trees, but they can develop their own problems.
A shrub may thin out, develop dead sections, lose its normal color, or simply stop growing the way it used to. Insects, site conditions, previous damage, and other forms of stress may all play a part.
Our tree and shrub care starts with looking at the plant rather than guessing from one symptom. For property owners concerned about shrub health care, an assessment can help determine what deserves attention and what can simply be watched.
