Storms can cause damage to tree limbs or entire trees. Damaged trees need to be removed or even pruned by a qualified professional to reduce the long term damage.
Take the time to find a qualified tree service - this is a very important protection for the homeowner. Often less credible tree services or individuals with saws follow storms for a quick dollar. Educating yourself on how to hire a reputable arborist can help prevent becoming a victim.
Certified Arborists can also help to determine if the tree can be saved or if it must be removed. Trees are most dangerous when they are on structures or at aggressive angles and injuries are most likely to occur.
A reputable tree company will not have you pay in advance for tree work nor will they go door knocking for work. They are just too busy!
The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) offers these suggestions to look for when hiring an arborist:
Good tree work by qualified professionals is worth the additional expense. Poor work, no matter the price paid, can cost you a great deal in the long run. Professional prices should include insurance and may also include the use of specialized equipment. If you feel an estimate is high, do not hesitate to ask what the price includes. You may realize you are getting much more bang for your buck than what a less expensive tree service is offering.
Take the time to be an informed consumer and prevent yourself from becoming victimized. For more tree care information, or to find an ISA Certified Arborist, visit www.treesaregood.org.

Throughout the Shreveport/Bossier area and even into East Texas we have lots of squirrels. Squirrel damage to your trees can be misdiagnosed. Call in a professional if you are unsure of what is attacking your trees.
Most trees can live through this damage but it's always good to keep them fertilized and watered appropriately to reduce the stresses on the tree. If you are unsure what is attacking your trees or want professional assistance in fertilizing, call Tree Health Lady.
Earlier in the year we received a call about a pair of sick peach trees in Shreveport in the Broadmoor area. The couple loved the trees but the trees were in failing health with sparse leaves. They called us in to evaluate and come up with a treatment plan for their peach trees. We treated the trees in the Spring. They called us back last week for an update.
Look how wonderful they are doing! Full of life and vigor. Another happy customer.
There are different ways to apply fertilizer to trees. We evaluate each tree and determine the best method for that individual tree. For this tree in Shreveport, Louisiana it was determined to inject straight into the cambial layer ensuring that this tree received the proper dose of fertilizer. We use the Arborsystems Wedgle Direct-Inject system. This method of application is pet friendly since there isn't any spraying and it's less invasive for the tree as there isn't drilling involved.
