FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions McKinney homeowners ask us most about tree health pruning.

Yes! If caught early, pruning away infected limbs isolates the disease before it travels into the main trunk and root system.

Oak Wilt is a fatal fungal disease spread by sap beetles. We prevent it by avoiding Oak pruning from Feb to June and painting all fresh Oak wounds immediately.

Saw blades can carry microscopic fungal spores and bacteria from an infected branch into healthy limbs. Sanitizing stops pathogen transmission.

Hypoxylon Canker is a fungal disease that attacks drought-stressed trees in North Texas, causing bark to slough off and expose dark crusty spores.

Cost depends on tree size, number of infected limbs, and sanitization requirements. Contact us for a free estimate!
