🌸Magnolia scale is active right now, making late summer the ideal time to inspect your tree. Catching it early can help prevent branch dieback, declining tree health, and the sticky honeydew that attracts ants, wasps, and black sooty mold.

Watch for:
🍃White or tan, waxy bumps on branches
🍃Black, soot-like mold on the foliage
🍃Sticky residue on leaves or nearby surfaces

If something doesn't look right, give us a call or request a visit with one of our Certified Arborists to determine the best treatment plan.

🌳The tree count keeps growing...

This season, we've planted 700+ trees & shrubs across southeastern Wisconsin!

That's over 700 new trees that will one day provide shade, cleaner air, wildlife habitat, and help strengthen our urban canopy for future generations.

Curious about the impact trees have in Wisconsin? The Wisconsin DNR's Community Tree Map lets you explore community trees across the state and discover the benefits they provide. From stormwater reduction to energy savings and improved air quality.

🐻🪵 One bear-sized log delivery..coming right up!

One of our crews recently traded in neighborhood backyards for a day at the Milwaukee County Zoo, where we helped remove several fallen trees after storm damage.

But not every log ended up in the chipper! One log got a VIP destination: the brown bear habitat. Instead of becoming firewood or mulch, it'll now serve as enrichment for the bears to climb on, explore, and enjoy.

Just another day of taking care of people, their trees...and occasionally a few bears.

☀The heat wave may be behind us, but your trees can still feel the effects.

Extreme heat and dry conditions can cause stress that lingers well beyond the hottest days of summer. Giving your trees a little extra care now can help them stay healthy through the rest of the season.

A few simple ways to help:
💧Water newly planted trees and moisture-loving species like birches during dry spells.
🌱Add or refresh mulch to help retain soil moisture and protect roots.
🌳Keep an eye out for sudden limb drop, especially on trees with long, arching branches.

If you're noticing signs of stress or just want peace of mind, our Certified Arborists are here to help. Schedule a visit today!

🐛Tiny insects. Big damage.

Boring insects can cause serious stress to trees and shrubs by tunnelling beneath the bark and disrupting the flow of water and nutrients.

Keep an eye on:
Oak trees
Birch trees
Ash trees
Certain shrubs and ornamentals

Warning signs may include:
⚠️Distinctive winding patterns under the bark
⚠️Sawdust-like material around the trunk
⚠️Tiny holes in the bark
⚠️Thinning leaves or dieback
⚠️Branches that suddenly decline

The good news? Early detection and treatment can make all the difference.

Our Certified Arborists can identify pest problems, monitor tree health, and recommend targeted treatments to help protect your landscape before damage becomes severe.
