5 Tips for Keeping Your Trees in Strong Health

by Elevated Tree Care • 28 March 2025
Healthy trees enhance the beauty of your property. However, trees require proper care to thrive and remain strong against pests, diseases, and environmental stressors. At Elevated Tree Care, we provide tree services in Pittsburgh that will help to keep your trees in great health. Here are five tips for keeping your trees in excellent condition. Regular Pruning Pruning is essential for maintaining a tree’s structure, promoting growth, and preventing the spread of disease. Removing dead, damaged, or diseased branches helps improve air circulation and sunlight exposure, which encourages healthy development. Also, strategic pruning prevents overgrown limbs from becoming hazardous, reducing the risk of storm damage. Hiring a professional arborist ensures that pruning is done correctly and at the right time of year. Proper Watering Consistent and adequate watering is crucial for tree health, especially for young or newly planted trees. While mature trees often require less frequent watering, they still benefit from deep, slow watering during dry spells. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering can cause stress and weaken the tree. Healthy Soil Management Nutrient-rich soil is vital for tree health. Conducting soil tests can help determine if your trees are receiving the necessary nutrients. If deficiencies are found, applying organic mulch or slow-release fertilizers can help replenish essential elements. Because fertilizing is situation-dependent and over-fertilizing can be harmful, it’s best to consult an arborist about whether your trees need this to be done. Pest and Disease Prevention Regularly inspecting your trees for signs of pests or disease can help catch problems before they escalate. Symptoms like discolored leaves, unusual growths, or visible insects may indicate an issue. If you see signs of pests or disease, schedule a professional inspection. Protect Tree Roots from Damage Tree roots are the foundation of a tree’s health, so protecting them from damage is crucial. If possible, avoid using heavy machinery near the base of your trees, as soil compaction can lead to root issues. A strong and healthy root system helps ensure tree stability and longevity.

4 Signs That a Tree Is Creating a Safety Risk & You Should Call the Arborist

by Elevated Tree Care • 27 February 2025
When large trees become compromised, they can pose a serious safety hazard. Whether due to disease or external damage, a hazardous tree can threaten your home, vehicles, and even personal safety. Identifying the warning signs early can help prevent accidents and costly damage. At Elevated Tree Care, we provide expert tree removal in the greater Pittsburgh, PA area. Here are four signs that a tree on your property may be a safety risk. Leaning or Sudden Shift in Position While some trees naturally lean, a sudden or worsening tilt can indicate structural instability. A tree that was once upright but is now noticeably leaning might have a weakened root system or shifting soil beneath it. Strong winds, heavy rain, or soil erosion can further increase the likelihood of the tree falling, making it important to address the issue promptly. Large Dead or Falling Branches A tree that is shedding large branches is a major red flag. Dead or dying limbs can break off unexpectedly, especially during storms or high winds, posing a serious danger to people and property below. If a tree has multiple dead limbs that appear brittle, it may be suffering from internal decay. Regular pruning and tree assessments can help mitigate this risk and keep your property safer. Cracks/Cavities in the Trunk A tree’s trunk serves as its main structural support, so any cracks, holes, or cavities should not be ignored. Deep cracks can weaken the tree, making it more susceptible to breaking apart. Large cavities may indicate internal decay, meaning the tree is no longer structurally sound. If you see peeling bark, hollow sections, or fungal growth on the trunk, these could be signs of significant internal damage that may require professional attention. Fungal Growth at the Base Mushrooms or other fungi growing at the base of a tree often signal root rot or internal decay. Since roots anchor the tree and provide stability, their deterioration can make the entire tree more prone to falling. Decayed roots can become very weak and unable to hold the tree upright in adverse weather conditions. If you notice an abundance of fungi, it’s best to have an arborist inspect the tree to determine its overall health.
