Sick Tree Care in Casper, WY

If your tree has odd-colored leaves, spotted needles or thinning branches, our ISA Certified Arborists will find the cause. We recommend treatment when it will help, and we tell you if a tree cannot be saved.

Aspen rust, pine blight and odd leaf color are all familiar problems to us in Casper, Wyoming. Tree disease shows up in yards across town, and dry high-elevation stretches and extreme cold can weaken a tree enough to let it take hold. Our ISA Certified Arborists inspect the sick tree and the ones around it, since disease and pests often show up in more than one.

They look at leaves, bark, branches and soil to tell disease, insects and drought stress apart. Orange or rust-colored spots on aspen leaves point one way, and yellow or brown needles with dieback on a pine point another. Yellow or spotted leaves alone could mean disease, pests, poor soil or water stress, so the cause comes first.

In yards with mature cottonwood, spruce, pine and aspen, we often find that more than one species needs attention. You then get a plain plan with an itemized quote, which might be treatment, pruning, watering or feeding. We prune out dead and diseased wood with clean tools, and we tell you honestly if a tree cannot be saved.

Early diagnosis often decides the outcome, so do not wait for large dead patches. Call (307) 337-8474 or ask for a free inspection online, and our home crew will come look at what your tree is telling you.

Local Conditions in Casper That Shape Sick Tree Care

These are the local conditions our arborists keep in mind when planning sick tree care in Casper.

  • Drought stress

    Dry stretches at high elevation leave trees thirsty, which weakens them and makes them easier targets for pests and disease.

    Sick Tree Care is one way to deal with this in Casper.

  • Extreme cold

    Extreme cold stresses young and newly planted trees, and a tree already weakened by drought has less to fight it with.

    Sick Tree Care is one way to deal with this in Casper.

  • Tree diseases

    Aspen rust, pine blight and leaf discoloration show up in Casper yards, and catching them early gives trees the best chance.

    Sick Tree Care is one way to deal with this in Casper.

  • Strong winds

    Open country and the slope of Casper Mountain let strong, sustained winds sweep across town, loading tree crowns and testing weak limb attachments and shallow roots.

    Mention this when you book and we will keep it in mind during your sick tree care estimate.

  • Heavy wet snow

    Heavy, wet spring snow clings to leaves and branches and snaps limbs, often over roofs, cars and power lines.
