Plant health care focuses on protecting and improving the long-term vitality, structure, and safety of trees and plants through proactive, science-based care. Services include pest management to control damaging insects and diseases, targeted fertilization to promote strong growth and resilience, and precise herbicide applications to manage invasive or unwanted vegetation. Root collar excavation exposes and corrects buried root flares that can restrict growth or compromise stability, while cabling and bracing add structural support to weakened or split trees, helping reduce risk and extend the life of valuable plants.

Common Questions About Emergency Services
-
Professional tree care includes pruning, trimming, removal, pest management, evaluations, and soil care to promote tree health, safety, and longevity. Proper tree care prevents disease, reduces hazards, and enhances your landscape’s value.
-
Most trees benefit from a professional evaluation once every 1–3 years, especially if they show signs of stress, damage, or rapid growth. Regular assessments help catch issues early and guide proper care.
-
Trees are typically pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth begins, but timing can vary by species and local climate. Proper pruning removes dead or dangerous limbs and improves structure without harming the tree.
-
A tree may need removal if it’s dead, dying, structurally unstable, has significant disease or pest damage, or poses a safety risk to people or property. Professional evaluations help determine the best course of action.
-
Local trees can be threatened by pests like the hemlock woolly adelgid and various fungal or bacterial infections, which can weaken trees and require specialized treatment.
-
City rules in Asheville and Buncombe County may require permits for certain tree removals or major pruning, especially on steep slopes, historic districts, or commercial properties. Always check local regulations before work begins.
-
Costs can vary widely based on tree size, location, and complexity. For example, tree removal might range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on height, access, and risk factors.
-
After severe weather (like high winds or hurricanes), have damaged trees evaluated promptly to assess risk. Professionals can safely remove hazardous limbs or trees and recommend treatments to help remaining trees recover.
