ArborPro Tree Service is proud to serve communities across Western North Carolina, including:
Western North Carolina provides excellent growing conditions for many tree species, but they also present a variety of challenges that can affect long-term tree health. Insects, diseases, environmental stress, and changing site conditions can all take a toll on even mature, well-established trees.
A few factors that commonly influence tree health in our area include:
Western North Carolina is home to a variety of damaging pests and pathogens, including emerald ash borer, anthracnose, canker diseases, and other common tree-health threats.
Drought, excessive rainfall, soil compaction, construction impacts, and other stressors can weaken trees and make them more susceptible to secondary problems.
Prompt pest and disease diagnosis and proactive care can often help preserve your beloved trees, support their continued health, and protect them from threats for years to come.
Whether you’re concerned about a specific tree-health problem or simply want to help your trees thrive, ArborPro Tree Service can develop a plant health care strategy tailored to your property’s unique needs.
Many tree health problems begin with subtle symptoms that are easy to overlook. If you notice any of the following, it may be time to contact the ArborPro Tree Service team:
Just remember, the earlier tree-health problems are identified, the more treatment options are typically available. That’s why it’s important to seek professional guidance when you first notice signs of decline.
Plant health care projects typically cost between $500 to $2,000 in Western North Carolina, though they can climb higher in some cases. And while some issues can be addressed with relatively simple interventions, others may require ongoing monitoring and treatment over multiple years.
A few of the factors that commonly influence plant health care costs include:
The best way to determine exactly what your trees need—and what it will cost—is to schedule an evaluation with ArborPro Tree Service. We’ll identify the underlying problem, explain your options, and provide a clear recommendation tailored to your property.
Whether you’re concerned about insects, disease, declining tree health, or preventive care, it’s natural to have questions. We’ve answered some of the most common ones below.
Plant health care is a proactive approach to tree care that focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and managing problems affecting tree health. PHC services may include inspections, insect and disease management, soil improvements, fertilization, and other treatments designed to support long-term tree vitality.
Common signs of tree-health problems include discolored or undersized leaves, canopy thinning, dead branches, premature leaf drop, unusual insect activity, fungal growth, and declining vigor. An ISA-certified arborist can help determine whether these symptoms indicate a significant problem.
In many cases, yes. The earlier a problem is identified, the more treatment options are typically available. While not every tree can be saved, many issues can be managed successfully when addressed promptly.
Common concerns in our area include hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA), emerald ash borer (EAB), scale insects, anthracnose, canker diseases, and a variety of other insect and disease problems. ArborPro Tree Service can help identify the issue and recommend an appropriate treatment strategy.
No. Many tree-health problems can be addressed through improved growing conditions, soil management, proper mulching, irrigation adjustments, root-zone improvements, or other non-chemical approaches. The appropriate treatment depends on the specific problem affecting the tree.
No. Trees should only be fertilized when there is a demonstrated need. In some situations, fertilization provides significant benefits, while in others it may offer little value.
It depends on the issue. Some problems can be addressed with a single treatment, while others require ongoing monitoring and management. Our PHC technicians can recommend an approach based on your trees’ specific needs.
Watch for warning signs by species. Ash trees hit by emerald ash borer show canopy thinning from the top down, D-shaped exit holes, and woodpecker activity, while pines under southern pine beetle attack fade to yellow-brown and ooze pitch tubes. Caught early, some trees can still be treated, so ArborPro Tree Service recommends having an arborist look at the first signs.
It depends on the tree and the soil. For many established trees, proper mulching and fixing the site do more good than routine feeding, while a genuinely nutrient-starved or stressed tree benefits from targeted root-zone treatment. ArborPro Tree Service assesses the soil and the tree first rather than fertilizing by default.
Yes. Beyond broad spraying, options like trunk injections and soil-applied treatments deliver what a tree needs with far less drift and exposure. ArborPro Tree Service matches the method to the specific pest or disease, which is both more effective and easier on the surrounding yard, pets, and pollinators.
It can. The heavy red clay common across the foothills compacts easily and drains slowly, which stresses roots and leaves trees more vulnerable to decline and disease. ArborPro Tree Service factors soil into its plant health care, since fixing the root environment often does more than treating symptoms above ground.
Sometimes the healthiest-looking trees are the ones most worth protecting. Many problems — decay, root issues, early infestations — take hold long before the canopy shows it, and by then the options narrow. A periodic check by an ISA Certified Arborist from ArborPro Tree Service catches these early, while care is still simple and inexpensive.
Whether you’re concerned about a specific tree-health problem or simply want to help your trees thrive, ArborPro Tree Service can identify potential issues, recommend appropriate treatments, and develop a plan for long-term success.

Great and efficient service. Had an old large maple very close to the house and within a small, backyard fence that needed removing as it had become too large and dangerous to leave looming over my home. Justin was polite and professional throughout the entire project and most importantly the tree was removed without any injuries or incidents. Very happy and would highly recommend of you need any tree removal done.Posted on Google![]()

Get service, fast and the best quote for the work. Had them clear a tangled area on the lot and grind out the stumps. The whole process from a site visit to get a quote to the final day of work took maybe 10 days. Already have the next project planned and will be giving them another call when ready.Posted on Google![]()
