Q: Can an arborist save my sick tree?

• <div><p>It depends on the problem, the affected part of the tree, the risk of the pathogen spreading, and the overall health of your tree. Many diseases, fungal infections, and insect infestations can be successfully treated, especially if the issue is only in a few branches. However, if a disease is too widespread, too severe, too easily spread, or in the roots, the tree will likely need to be removed.</p></div>

Michelle " Ms. Midnite" was a pleasure to have in my home. I have 2 small children, both under 2 years old and she made sure that the cleaning products she used were going to be ok for them. She took the time to ask if we had any allergies that she should be aware of. Great communication...
