Healthy Trees Year-Round
Tree Health Care for Belgium Yards Through Every Season
A healthy tree is a safer tree. A little care each season heads off big problems later.
Our ISA Certified Arborist walks your yard, looks at leaves, bark, roots, and soil, and tells you in plain words what's going on. It might be oak wilt, Dutch elm disease, apple scab, or needle cast on a blue spruce. It might just be drought stress or mulch piled too high. Our post on common tree diseases in Wisconsin covers the basics.
We don't sell spray programs. We'll tell you whether a treatment makes sense and point you to your options, then do what we do best: pruning out diseased wood and trimming for better airflow. For ash trees, start with our emerald ash borer guide. If a tree is too far gone, removal keeps everyone safe.

Tree Stress Signals
Signs a Tree Needs a Health Check
Trees can't tell you they're sick. These symptoms are how they show it.
-
Oak Leaves Wilting in Summer
Oaks browning and dropping leaves in July can mean oak wilt, which spreads to nearby oaks through roots.
-
A Crown Thinning From the Top Down
Ash losing leaves at the top often points to emerald ash borer feeding under the bark.
-
Needles Browning on Blue Spruce
Purple-brown inner needles and bare lower branches are classic signs of needle cast disease.
-
Spotted Leaves on Crabapples
Olive spots and early leaf drop usually mean apple scab, which weakens trees year after year.
-
Yellowing Elm Branches
Wilting, yellow branches on an elm can signal Dutch elm disease that needs fast attention.
Seasonal Care Plan
How Tree Health Care Works Through the Year
Each season has its own job. Here's how we split up the work.
-
Spring Check-Up
We look for winter damage, early leaf disease, and signs of borers as trees leaf out.
-
Summer Watch
Drought stress, oak wilt, and Dutch elm symptoms show up now, so we check and advise.
-
Fall Prep
Deep watering tips, mulch rings, and a look at weak limbs before the snow arrives.
-
Winter Pruning
Dormant-season pruning of oaks and elms, plus thinning so crowns handle heavy snow.
Local Tree Health
Tree Diseases and Pests Common in Southeast Wisconsin
These are the tree health problems we see most across our three counties.
Emerald Ash Borer
First found in Wisconsin in Ozaukee County in 2008, it has killed ash trees across the region.
Oak Wilt in Red Oaks
Red and pin oaks can die in a single summer once infected, so we prune oaks only in winter.
Dutch Elm Disease Watch
Surviving American elms need watching, since the disease spreads through beetles and shared roots.
Spruce Needle Cast
Colorado blue spruce in our humid summers often lose inner needles to a fungal disease.
Apple Scab on Crabapples
Wet springs spread leaf spots on crabapples; raking leaves and planting resistant kinds helps.
Clay Soil and Dry Spells
Heavy clay stays soggy in spring and bakes hard in August, stressing roots both ways.
Tree Health Reviews
Reviews From Customers Who Care About Their Trees
"Outstanding company! Very professional and time efficient! Tanner and his crew are respectable and very hard workers, I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is looking to have their trees removed or trimmed!"
"Tanner and his team are tree artists. We have had them do 2 tree trimming sessions 2 hears ago and this year. We also had him clean up a branch that fell in a storm earlier this year. Our trees look fantastic and healthy. The yard was cleaned up better than it started. NO sawdust, branches in the yard or on the roof, the yard was pristine. This team is our go to arbor team. Thanks much."
Tree Health Questions
Answers About Keeping Your Trees Healthy
Usually, yes. Our ISA Certified Arborist looks at the pattern of damage, the leaves, bark, and roots, and what's happening to nearby trees. Drought stress and disease can look alike, but they spread differently. If we're not sure, we'll say so and suggest a lab test through UW Extension.
