Though trees can often be a mystery, they will always send out warning signs when something isn’t right. It then becomes the homeowner’s responsibility to have a certified arborist examine them to get to the bottom of the problem.
This is exactly what one homeowner in Oakland, TN, did when they noticed brown leaves on their pine trees. Thankfully, Spruce Up Tree Care assessed the trees and offered reliable removal and plant health care services.

Answering a Homeowner’s Distress Call
Trees do have quite a lengthy lifespan. Unfortunately, pests and insects can shorten this lifespan. While many homeowners won’t notice an infestation at first, as the pest population grows, the pests’ destructive effects become harder and harder to miss.
The good news is that there are measures homeowners can take to try and save an infested tree. For these measures to work, however, they will need to first determine the exact pest causing the problem. This is where having access to a certified arborist comes in handy.
When one homeowner saw their pine trees sporting browning leaves in spring, they knew who to turn to for tree removal and plant health care.
Implementing Tree Preservation Efforts
As soon as the skilled team from Spruce Up Tree Care arrived, they got to work examining the homeowner’s trees and uncovered a pine park beetle infestation. Sadly, this infestation had already killed 18 pine trees, forcing the crew to remove them.
The crew did, however, manage to treat the rest, implementing diseased tree treatment solutions that went a long way in restoring their health.
