Diagnose, Then Treat
Utah trees face real pressure. We treat the actual problem.
Utah trees face fire blight, aphids and scale, wood-boring beetles, and the emerald ash borer threat homeowners keep hearing about — on top of soil-driven issues like iron chlorosis. We diagnose what's actually affecting your tree and treat it before it spreads. Caught early, most problems don't cost you the tree.
The mistake we see most often is removing a tree that could have been saved. A correct diagnosis — backed by an arborist consultation — usually points to a targeted treatment, not a chainsaw. Where pruning is part of the fix, we do it to standard so the tree recovers instead of regressing.

Honest answers, upfront.
In the Salt Lake Valley, yellow leaves with green veins are most often iron chlorosis — our alkaline, high-pH soils locking out iron, not a disease or drought. It's very treatable when diagnosed correctly, but it's frequently misread and healthy trees get removed unnecessarily.
Emerald ash borer is a serious, spreading threat, and ash trees are its target. The key is early detection and a plan — some ash can be protected with treatment, while heavily infested trees may need removal. We assess your specific trees and recommend the realistic option rather than a scare tactic.
Common Utah problems including fire blight, aphids and scale, wood-boring beetles and borers, and the emerald ash borer threat — plus soil and nutrient issues like iron chlorosis. We diagnose what's actually affecting your tree and treat it before it spreads, often with deep-root treatment and integrated pest management.
Often, yes — caught early, most problems don't cost you the tree. The mistake is waiting until the canopy is half gone. A timely diagnosis and targeted treatment can turn a declining tree around, which is why we lead with diagnosis instead of removal.
