Trees face numerous challenges in urban and suburban environments, from compacted soil and drought stress to pests, diseases, and storm damage.

Seasonal Tree Care in Peachtree Corners
Trees have different needs throughout the year. Our seasonal maintenance programs ensure your trees receive appropriate care at the right time. Spring is ideal for fertilization and pest prevention treatments. Summer requires monitoring for drought stress and insect activity. Fall is the best time for structural pruning, and winter allows for dormant season treatments.
We create customized maintenance schedules based on your tree species, age, and condition. Regular visits allow us to catch problems early when they're easiest and least expensive to treat. Our arborists document tree health over time, tracking improvements and identifying trends that might indicate developing issues.
Protecting Your Landscape Investment
Mature trees can add thousands of dollars to property values, but only if they're healthy and well-maintained. Our tree health programs protect this investment by preventing decline and promoting long-term vitality. We use environmentally responsible products and methods that are safe for your family, pets, and beneficial insects.
In addition to health maintenance, we offer arborist consulting services for property managers, developers, and homeowners who need expert advice on tree preservation, risk assessment, and landscape planning. Our goal is to help you maintain a beautiful, healthy landscape that enhances your property for years to come.
Tree Health & Maintenance FAQs
How can I tell if my tree is healthy?
Healthy trees have full canopies with appropriate leaf color for the season, strong branch structure without dead wood, smooth bark without cracks or wounds, and vigorous annual growth. Warning signs include premature leaf drop, discolored or wilted foliage, dead branches, fungal growth, bark damage, or visible decay. Our certified arborists can provide professional health assessments.
How often should trees be fertilized?
Most established trees benefit from fertilization every 2-3 years, though newly planted trees, trees showing nutrient deficiency symptoms, or trees in poor soil may need annual treatments. Spring and fall are optimal times for fertilizer application. Soil testing helps determine specific nutrient needs. Over-fertilization can harm trees, so professional guidance is recommended.
What are the most common tree diseases in Georgia?
Common tree diseases in Georgia include oak wilt, pine bark beetles, anthracnose, powdery mildew, root rot, and fire blight. Many diseases are species-specific. Early detection and treatment are crucial for saving infected trees. Regular monitoring by certified arborists helps catch diseases before they become severe and potentially spread to other trees.
How much does a tree health program cost?
Tree health programs typically range from $200-$800 per year per tree depending on tree size, number of trees, and required treatments. Basic programs include periodic inspections and fertilization ($200-$400 annually). Comprehensive programs with pest monitoring, disease treatments, and soil amendments cost more ($400-$800 annually). Multi-tree properties often qualify for volume discounts.
Can a dying tree be saved?
It depends on the cause and extent of decline. Trees suffering from drought stress, nutrient deficiency, or early-stage disease can often be restored with proper treatment. However, trees with severe structural damage, advanced decay, or systemic infections may be beyond saving. Our arborists assess the tree's condition and provide honest recommendations about treatment success likelihood versus removal.
