Plant Health Care Services

At Chapman’s Tree Service, we do more than just remove and trim trees. Plant health care is one of our primary focuses. The health of your plants and trees is important. Our certified arborist is experienced in diagnosing and treating plant diseases common in the Atlanta area. Once we have identified any problems your trees and plants may have, we can formulate an effective treatment program to bring them back to health and keep them healthy in the future.

Two of the most common health issues in the Atlanta and Marietta area are Amillaria Root Rot, Anthropogenic and/or Leaf Spot Diseases. These two diseases are common on the East coast. Amillaria Root Rot is a fungus that attacks both softwood and hardwood trees and shrubs. Amillaria Root Rot attacks trees that are weak from competition, pests or climatic factors. It can also attack healthy trees and kill them or make them more susceptible to other insects or fungi.

If your hardwood trees are showing signs of dead areas or blotches on the leaves, they may be infected with Anthroacnose or Leaf Spot Disease. These kind of diseases are very common on the East coast and in the Atlanta area. American sycamore, white oak, black walnut and dogwoods are particularly prone to these diseases. Not only will these diseases kill your trees and shrubs, but a loss of shade trees can have a negative impact on your property values.

Another common problem in the Atlanta area is Southern Pine Beetle infestation. These pests attack pines in the South and can cause serious damage. The beetles bore under the pine tree bark and destroy the cambium layer of the tree. Southern White Beetles can be present and do damage to your tree before you know they are there. These pests have been known to devastate whole forests because of their voracious appetites. Regular inspection by one of our certified arborists can help to prevent unnecessary damage and removal of your trees.
