Tree Health & Maintenance

Why Tree Health Matters for Your Property

Healthy trees are more than just nice to look at. They add significant value to your property, provide shade that lowers cooling costs, and create habitat for birds and beneficial insects. Mature, well-maintained trees can increase your property value by thousands of dollars. But trees do not stay healthy by accident. They need regular care and attention, especially in challenging climates like ours in Clovis, NM.

When you ignore tree health, small problems become expensive emergencies. A minor insect infestation can spread to kill your tree. Root damage can cause trees to fall during storms. Disease can jump from one tree to another throughout your yard. Regular professional tree maintenance in Clovis prevents these problems before they start.

Your trees face constant challenges. Drought stress, extreme heat, insects, diseases, and poor soil conditions all threaten tree health. With proper maintenance, your trees can overcome these challenges and thrive for decades.

Warning Signs Your Trees Need Attention

Trees often show warning signs long before they die or become dangerous. Learning to recognize these signs helps you get help before problems become severe. If you notice any of these issues, it is time to call us for an assessment.

Look for discolored or wilting leaves during the growing season. This can indicate water stress, root damage, or disease. Dead branches that do not leaf out in spring are another red flag. Bark that is cracking, peeling, or showing signs of decay suggests serious problems. Mushrooms growing at the base of the tree often indicate root rot.

Other warning signs include premature leaf drop, small or sparse leaves, and visible insects or pest damage. If your tree is leaning more than usual or showing signs of root heaving, call us immediately. These conditions require professional evaluation to determine if the tree can be saved or needs removal. Our arborist consulting services can help you make informed decisions about tree care.

Prevention is the Best Medicine

The best tree care is preventive care. Regular maintenance catches problems early when they are easier and less expensive to treat. An annual tree health inspection can save you thousands of dollars by preventing tree loss and property damage.

We recommend combining health maintenance with regular trimming and pruning for complete tree care. Proper pruning removes diseased branches, improves air circulation, and reduces stress on the tree. When paired with fertilization and pest management, your trees will be healthier and more resilient.

Think of tree maintenance like regular checkups at the doctor. You do not wait until you are seriously ill to see a physician. The same logic applies to your trees. Regular care keeps them healthy and prevents emergencies.
