Common Tree Diseases We Treat
We diagnose and treat a wide range of fungal, bacterial, and environmental diseases found in Southeast Texas, including:
Oak Wilt
One of the most aggressive tree diseases in Texas. Spread by beetles and root grafts, it causes leaf discoloration, wilting, and rapid death in oak trees.
Treatment: Fungicide injections, root graft disruption, and strategic pruning.
Root Rot
Typically caused by overwatering or poor drainage. This fungal infection degrades root structure and limits nutrient absorption.
Treatment: Soil aeration, drainage correction, and antifungal treatments.
Anthracnose
A leaf disease that causes dark, sunken spots and premature leaf drop. Common in sycamores, oaks, and maples.
Treatment: Sanitation pruning, fungicide sprays, and canopy thinning for airflow.
Powdery Mildew
Appears as white or gray powdery substance on leaves. It stunts growth and weakens younger trees.
Treatment: Removal of infected leaves and foliage, systemic fungicides, and increasing air circulation.
Leaf Spot / Rust
Caused by a variety of fungal pathogens, these appear as brown or black spots, and can lead to early defoliation.
Treatment: Preventative fungicide treatments and proper seasonal pruning.
Our Proven Tree Pest & Disease Management Process
We take a step-by-step approach to diagnosing and treating your trees with care and precision.
- On-Site Tree Assessment
A certified technician inspects your trees, evaluates symptoms, and identifies pest or disease presence. - Custom Treatment Plan
Based on species, severity, and environmental factors, we recommend a plan using the safest and most effective methods available. - Targeted Application
We apply treatments—via soil drench, injection, spray, or manual intervention—during optimal seasonal windows. - Post-Treatment Monitoring
Follow-ups ensure the treatment worked and that new threats haven’t emerged. - Preventive Guidance
We’ll educate you on watering practices, mulching, and pruning that keep trees resilient long after treatment.
Why Tree Disease and Pest Control Is Essential
Trees face a variety of stressors—many of which are biological and invisible to the untrained eye. Fungal infections, bacterial blights, and insect infestations can take hold quickly, spread rapidly, and cause long-term damage or even total tree loss if not treated promptly.
Risks of Untreated Tree Infections and Infestations:
- Premature Tree Death
- Structural Instability and Limb Drop
- Infection Spread to Nearby Trees
- Declining Property Value
- Increased Risk of Storm Damage
Our job is to catch these issues early, act quickly, and prevent future problems from threatening your landscape.
Common Tree Pests We Control
Insects can weaken, defoliate, or kill a tree by feeding on bark, leaves, or roots—or by carrying disease. We control:
Aphids & Scale Insects
These sap-feeding pests weaken trees and promote mold growth. They reproduce rapidly and attract ants.
Control Methods: Horticultural oils, insecticidal soaps, and biological control agents.
Bark Beetles
Bark beetles bore into tree trunks and lay eggs, disrupting nutrient flow and inviting secondary infections.
Control Methods: Trunk injections, removal of infested trees, and chemical barriers.
Bagworms & Webworms
These caterpillar pests form visible webs and strip trees of foliage.
Control Methods: Manual removal, targeted insecticides, and seasonally timed treatments.
Spider Mites
Tiny pests that cause stippling, discoloration, and premature leaf drop.
Control Methods: High-pressure water sprays, miticides, and moisture management.
