If you see any of the signs above, or if your tree appears unhealthy in any way, give us a call. We’ll send one of our certified arborists to assess your tree. Then they’ll run tests and observe your tree to figure out what’s wrong. After we know, we’ll come up with a treatment plan or recommend tree removal.
There may be some situations where tree removal is the only option, since the problem may affect the tree’s stability.
Give us a call if you have any concerns related to your tree’s health or find out more about our Florence tree services here.
