When oaks get messy it’s a sign of decline. There are symptoms that let you know when one needs to go. Conch fungi at the base should not be ignored.

The tree near the water had been showing signs by growing fungi at its base and a hole forming underneath.

The tree near the ramp had its roots in the septic lines and grew extremely fast. The death at its core was sort of a surprise.

The oak at the road was planted thirty years ago. This one was trimmed on one side due to power lines. That meant the side toward the house and downhill was fuller and thus heavier.

We hired a company we have used several times before, Watt Tree Service. They do excellent work and clean up as they work.

This experienced crew provided several hours of entertainment today. The climber is sixty-one years old and is a third-generation climber. His brother also climbs and was doing a different job today right across the river.

If you have trees, you need to keep an eye out for decline, disease and bad form. It is important to hire experts, so that your trees will not be trimmed like lollipops that will medusa out later and cause even more problems.

It is worth paying for experienced, skilled crews with the proper equipment. Tree problems just get worse if not addressed.
