Frequently Asked Questions
What are some warning signs that might indicate a problem with my trees?
Unfortunately, long-term damage may have already occurred by the time most homeowners suspect something might be wrong with their trees. If you are concerned about a tree on your property, don’t put off contacting a trusted tree care expert to help advise you on the best next steps.
Warning signs of an unhealthy tree include:
- Brown, wilted or discolored leaves
- Spots or holes on growths or leaves
- Dead branches
- Slowed growth
- Sudden or excessive leaf loss
- Rotting and decay
- Pest infestations and related damage
How can I best protect the trees on my property?
Homeowners value their trees, but are often unsure what they can do on their own to protect this important part of their landscape.
A few things you can do to care for your trees is to:
- Avoid planting trees right next to your home’s foundation. Homeowners are often unable to predict how a tree’s root structure will develop over time, and tree roots too close to your living structure can penetrate your foundation or cause instability.
- Remove dead trees close to your house. Over time, a dead tree will shed smaller twigs and then larger branches. Eventually, the trunk can fall unless it is removed.
- Protect root systems from damage by preventing soil compaction. Tree roots provide stability and nourishment. Roots can be cut while you are digging and aerating in your lawn, and the pressure from cars and even heavy foot traffic can harm your trees.
Should I mulch around my trees?
Mulch can be beneficial to your tree’s health by:
- Providing a buffer against extreme temperatures
- Retaining water to keep roots nourished
- Discouraging weeds, which drain needed moisture and nutrients from your soil
- Preventing soil compaction
- Reducing damage to roots that might occur when mowing your lawn
To get the most benefit from mulch:
- Remove grass in a three to ten-foot radius of your tree, depending on the size of your tree
- Add a two to four-inch layer of natural mulch, such as wood chips or pieces of bark
- Carefully spread mulch so that you don’t accidentally cut or damage any roots.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Ilana Britten
“5 star service from ABC! I had a tick problem that other pest control companies were unable to get under control, and then just stopped responding to me, when I continuously contacted them that the problem was not resolved. ABC sent out MULTIPLE techs and highly qualified people to assess, and properly address, the situation. I have a boarding facility full of dogs, so besides my home and personal dogs needing to be protected, they did, and continue to do, an amazing job! I’ll never use anyone else, thank you ABC!!”
