Why Do Austin Residents Need An Arborist?

Residents of Austin, TX, often require arborist services for various reasons related to the health and management of their trees, influenced by the local climate, prevalent tree species, and urban environment challenges. Here are some common reasons for needing tree care services in Austin:

  1. Oak Wilt Management: Oak wilt is a devastating fungal disease highly prevalent in Central Texas, including Austin. It mainly affects live and red oaks, which are common in the area. Arborists are crucial for diagnosing oak wilt, implementing treatments to slow the spread of the disease, and advising on removing and disposing of affected trees to prevent further infection.
  2. Drought Relief and Water Management: Austin's hot, dry summers can significantly stress trees. Species like pecan, cedar elm, and Texas ash, common in local landscapes, may need specialized care during drought. Arborists can guide proper watering techniques, mulching, and soil care to help trees withstand dry conditions.
  3. Pest and Disease Control: Other pests and diseases threaten Austin's trees beyond oak wilt. For example, aphids, spider mites, and borers are common issues. Arborists can offer integrated pest management solutions that are environmentally friendly and tailored to the specific problems and tree species.
  4. Storm Damage Recovery: The area is prone to sudden storms that can cause tree damage through high winds and lightning. After a storm, arborists can help assess the damage, safely prune broken branches, and stabilize or remove trees that pose risks to property and safety.
  5. Tree Pruning and Maintenance: Proper pruning is essential for the health of trees and the safety of the urban environment. Trees like the majestic Texas live oak or the beautiful magnolia need regular pruning to maintain their structure and aesthetics. Arborists ensure that pruning is done correctly to promote healthy growth and prevent disease.
  6. Tree Planting Advice: Choosing the suitable tree species and the correct planting location is vital for long-term growth. Arborists can advise which trees best suit Austin's climate and soil conditions, such as the native Texas mountain laurel or bald cypress, and provide tips on proper planting techniques.
  7. Heritage Tree Preservation: Austin protects certain trees based on their size, species, or historical significance. Residents often need arborists to help navigate city regulations regarding the care, pruning, or removal of heritage trees to ensure compliance with local laws.
  8. Construction Impact Assessments: With Austin's ongoing development and expansion, construction can impact tree health through root damage or soil compaction. Arborists can conduct pre-construction assessments, monitor tree health during construction, and recommend protection measures.

These services are crucial for maintaining the urban forest in Austin, which enhances the city's livability, aesthetics, and environmental quality.

ArborTrue Of Austin TX are certified Tree Experts “Arborists” who are experienced, knowledgeable, and equipped to cure ailing trees. If you suspect you’re experiencing tree or shrub disease or an insect infestation contact us without delay. We can perform a thorough diagnosis of your plants to determine the proper treatment before your investment is lost. The following are areas of focus that we are able to assist you with your tree care.

Tree Planting

Think of the tree you just purchased as a lifetime investment. How well your tree, and investment, grows depends on the type of tree and location you select for planting, the care you provide when the tree is planted, and follow-up care the tree receives after planting.

Deep Root Fertilization

There are times when nutrients may be absent from a soil and can adversely effect trees health. Once a soil sample is taken and laboratory analysis is complete a comprehensive tree care plan can begin. Often times this will involve deep root feeding. Deep Root Feeding is the most effective method for delivering essential nutrients to trees. Our ISA Certified Arborists at ArborTrue Of Austin TX are the best in the business when it comes to feeding your trees!

Pine Bark Beetle Treatment

A small plug, called the Arborplug™, is inserted into a drilled hole in the tree. A needle inserts through the Arborplug™ and formulation is injected. Formulations are quickly distributed through the trunk, branches and leaf tissue. The Arborplug™ keeps the injected formulation inside the tree, protects it, and stays inside the tree with no adverse reactions. The tree grows right over the Arborplug.

Yard Fertilization

We utilize organic and sustainable approaches to greener grass, better shrubs, and healthier trees. We don’t use chemicals and don’t need to. The properties we manage are the greenest and healthiest on the street, the block, and the whole neighborhood. We achieve this by respecting soil biology and using it to your advantage. Feed the soil first and the soil feeds the plants, this is how nature works. When we respect nature and participate in the natural cycles, we achieve unbeatable results. Chemical products bypass these systems and cause many additional problems. Most lawn issues can be traced back to the use of chemicals and salty fertilizers, we won’t use those. When we look at the lawn through the lense of ecology we are looking at an Urban Meadow, not just grass. Maintaining soil biology means less brown patch, take all patch, chinch bugs, sod web worms, and more. Those pests become big problems when soil biology is ignored. When you are tired of playing with poisons that just don’t work, call us for real results, on time, every time.
