Skip to content You almost certainly love your trees. After all, they help shield your home or commercial property from the hot summer sun and increase your property’s value, curb appeal, and aesthetic charm!

It’s hard to overstate the value an arborist can provide. From reducing the risks associated with hazardous trees to supporting the health of those who are in good shape, our arborists offer value in a number of key ways:
Life can be tough for trees growing in urban and suburban landscapes, but a professional arborist can help identify problems and recommend solutions that’ll help your trees thrive.
It’s always important to plant the right kind of tree in the right location. Professional arborists can easily identify the right trees to install in various locations around your property.
To treat pests and diseases, you must first identify which ones are harming your tree. Our arborists can do this for you and recommend the appropriate treatment strategy.
Soil deficiencies can cause your trees to struggle and fail to reach their full potential. But by using advanced soil testing kits, our arborists can recommend the correct amendments.
Regular pruning is necessary for almost all trees. However, you need a professional arborist to design an appropriate pruning regimen to enjoy the best possible results.
For all the beauty and benefits they provide, trees can also present a safety risk. But our arborists can quickly analyze your trees and determine the relative risk they present.
Whether you want your trees to provide shade, produce tons of flowers, or improve your property value, our arborists can help you achieve the results you desire.
A professional arborist can provide a ton of different services that’ll provide valuable to Clinton Township homeowners and property managers. A few of the services we provide to our clients include:
Pruning a tree correctly entails more than just haphazardly cutting limbs. It must be carefully planned and executed using industry-accepted practices to help ensure your trees aren’t damaged in the process. Our professional arborists are well-versed in proper maintenance, pruning strategies, and techniques, and they can prune your trees skillfully to ensure you get the results you desire and your trees continue to thrive.
It’s important to plant trees in a place that gives them the opportunity to thrive. For example, you don’t want to plant a tree that requires strong sunlight in the shade of another tree, nor do you want to plant a species that’ll grow to a large size in a tight spot. But our arborists have received considerable tree-selection training, which enables them to help you identify the ideal tree species for the space you have available.
There’s nothing as important to a tree’s long term health and well-being as proper installation. This includes preparing the planting hole, the root ball, and the surrounding soil properly, as well as planting the tree at the correct depth. Our professional arborists are experts at tree installation, and they can do the things necessary to set your trees up to thrive for decades to come.
Trees require sufficient macronutrients and micronutrients to build new tissues and function properly. This means that fertilization is often required, as it helps provide exactly the things the trees need. However, tree fertilization is not something that should be done haphazardly – you need to analyze the soil, consider the tree’s overall health, and then identify the proper fertilizer to use. Our arborists can handle all of these things and help ensure your trees get the support they deserve.
Unfortunately, there are a variety of pests and diseases that can affect trees in the Clinton Township area. Several are treatable, but it’s crucial that you get them the help they need early to give them the best chance at survival and long-term health. Our arborists are skilled tree health care technicians, who’re trained to recognize and treat all of the common pathogens that afflict the local trees. They can help stop these types of threats and give your trees the treatments required to fend off these attackers.
Unfortunately, trees may suffer from pests, decay, disease, or damage that necessitates their removal (and hopefully, replacement). But even though you won’t have to worry about the health of a tree slated for removal, it’s important that you hire a professional arborist to carry out the process, as tree removal is very dangerous work. That’s not a problem when you contact Treemendous Tree Care. Our arborists can safely remove standing trees, without putting your home or family at risk.
Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t understand the importance of contacting an arborist at the first signs of trouble. But that’s a huge mistake – getting professional assistance quickly can improve outcomes and reduce costs.
With that in mind, be sure to reach out to the professional arborists at Treemendous Tree Care anytime you spot the following signs or symptoms:
Dieback refers to branches in the canopy that start dying at the tips. Over time, the tree will shed leaves and eventually wind up with completely bare branches. This is unfortunately a common sign of several potentially serious tree diseases, so prompt action is imperative.
Small and yellow-colored tree leaves are often associated with things like stress, soil compaction, or even nutritional deficiencies. But an arborist can help determine the cause (often by collecting and analyzing a soil sample), and recommend strategies for correcting the problem.
Premature leaf drop is often caused by pests, disease, or overall poor health. It can also be caused by temporary stressors, such as drought or temperature extremes. The only way to know what is causing the problem is to have a professional arborist inspect the tree.
While some trees lean naturally in pursuit of greater sun exposure, sudden or increased leaning often signifies that the tree’s root system has become compromised or that there are issues with the soil. This is an emergency situation, which requires an immediate inspection by a professional arborist.
Cavities are often associated with internal decay. If the decay is substantial, it may weaken your tree and predispose it to limb drop or windthrow. Especially advanced decay may even cause a tree to collapse catastrophically during wind-free days.
Trees are susceptible to a variety of fungal and bacterial diseases that can cause leaf discoloration. Some of these diseases may lead to the decline of your tree, so it is wise to have them assessed promptly to give your trees the best chance at a full recovery.
Mushrooms are not always a troubling sign (some live symbiotically with trees, in a harmonious relationship), but they can sometimes represent serious internal decay. So, err on the side of caution and have an arborist inspect your trees anytime you notice mushrooms or conks in the vicinity.
Trees may shed branches for normal reasons at times, but it can also be a sign of a serious disease or pest infestation. And because trees that have recently dropped limbs are at increased risk of subsequent limb drop, it is vital to have them inspected.
