Consulting & Diagnosis
Our ISA Certified Arborists can identify, assess, diagnose, and provide treatment options for any landscape tree or shrub. Not sure what's wrong? We'll find out.
What Is an ISA Certified Arborist?
The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) is the gold standard credentialing body in professional tree care. An ISA Certified Arborist has accumulated a minimum of three years of full-time hands-on experience in professional tree care, passed a comprehensive examination covering tree biology, diagnosis, pruning, soil science, and safety, and commits to ongoing continuing education to maintain the credential.
Not all tree service companies employ ISA Certified Arborists. The difference between a certified arborist and an uncertified crew matters enormously when the diagnosis is wrong — misidentified pests, incorrect fungicide applications, and improper pruning cuts can accelerate a tree's decline rather than reverse it.
Common Diagnoses in the Lehigh Valley
Our arborists regularly diagnose and treat these conditions across properties throughout the region.
Insect Pest
Emerald Ash Borer
Invasive beetle that has devastated ash tree populations across Pennsylvania. Signs include S-shaped galleries, D-shaped exit holes, and crown dieback.
Fungal Disease
Anthracnose
Affects sycamore, oak, maple, and ash. Causes defoliation, twig dieback, and canker formation. Favored by cool, wet spring weather.
Fungal Disease
Oak Wilt
Highly aggressive vascular disease that can kill red oaks within weeks. Treatment requires immediate fungicide injection and severing root grafts.
Soilborne Disease
Verticillium Wilt
Affects maples, elms, and other hardwoods. Causes wilting branches and internal vascular discoloration. No cure — management focuses on extension.
Insect Pest
Bronze Birch Borer
Secondary pest that attacks stressed birch trees. Preventive trunk injections are available for high-value specimens in at-risk conditions.
Water Mold
Phytophthora Root Rot
Causes crown decline in poorly drained sites. Diagnosis requires soil testing and root examination by a certified arborist.
