Tree Health & Maintenance

Signs Your Trees Need Professional Care

Trees communicate their health problems if you know what to look for. Here are common warning signs that your trees need attention:

• •Dead or dying branches: Branches without leaves or with brown, brittle foliage
• •Sparse canopy: Trees that used to be full but now look thin and weak
• •Discolored leaves: Yellowing, browning, or spotted leaves during growing season
• •Cracks or splits: Visible damage to the trunk or major branches
• •Fungus or mushrooms: Growth on trunk or roots indicating decay
• •Pest infestation: Holes in bark, sawdust, or visible insects
• •Leaning or instability: Trees that have started leaning or show exposed roots

If you notice any of these signs, call us for an inspection. Early intervention often saves trees that might otherwise need removal. We provide comprehensive tree services to address whatever problems your trees face.

Our Tree Maintenance Services

Tree maintenance is not a one-time job. Different seasons and conditions require different care. We offer ongoing maintenance programs tailored to your trees and schedule. Here is what we provide:

Regular Inspections: We examine your trees for signs of disease, pest damage, or structural problems. Our trained eyes catch issues most homeowners miss. We check bark condition, look for dead wood, assess overall vigor, and identify potential hazards before they become emergencies.

Pruning and Trimming: Regular pruning keeps trees healthy and looking their best. We remove dead and diseased branches, thin crowns to improve air circulation, and shape trees for optimal growth. Proper tree trimming prevents many common tree health problems.

Disease and Pest Management: We identify and treat common tree diseases and pest infestations. Whether your tree has scale insects, borers, fungal infections, or bacterial diseases, we have effective treatment solutions. Early treatment often saves trees that would otherwise die.

Soil and Nutrition: Healthy soil means healthy trees. We can test your soil and recommend amendments to improve tree health. Sometimes trees just need proper fertilization to bounce back. We also address drainage problems and soil compaction that stress trees.

Tree Care in Yucaipa's Climate

Yucaipa's climate presents unique challenges for trees. Hot, dry summers stress trees and make them vulnerable to pests and disease. Winter cold snaps can damage tender growth. Understanding these challenges helps us provide better care.

Water management is critical here. Many trees suffer from either too much or too little water. We help you understand your trees' water needs and spot signs of water stress. Proper mulching retains soil moisture and regulates soil temperature, which benefits tree health tremendously.

Native and adapted species generally do better here than trees from wetter climates. If you are planning to add trees, we can recommend species that will thrive with minimal maintenance. For existing trees struggling with our climate, we develop care plans that help them adapt and survive. We also provide expert consulting services for long-term tree health planning.
