Tree Surgeon Services

Trees can suffer from outside influences such as lightening strikes, insect damage, and even damage caused by humans. When this happens, it's not just a matter of "if the root is strong" myth. Tree's need help, and in some cases, a form of surgery to heal properly. Our ISA expert Arborist is experienced with all forms of tree damage and can help our clients understand the options they may or may not have. 
​

Insect and Bug Prevention Services

There are many different types of insects that can kill your trees in a matter of days. Yes, days not months. These tiny insects burrow into the bark and consume it, all while laying eggs in the new formed tunnels will also have a negative effect on the tree's health. These insects brings parasitic fungus that steals resources from the tree. Calling on an ISA arborist is the best thing you can do, catching the signs of insect infestations is key to saving your tree.  
​

Fertilization Services

All living creatures need a boost in nutrition.  This is the same for your plants and trees. Fertilizing your soil is a form of passing on a boost in nutrients to your plants and trees. The conflict between a non-professional fertilizing soil from an arborist's fertilizing soil, is the contents that are within the fertilizer.  ​Our Arborist uses soil sampling to get a proper view of what it has and what it lacks.  Each formula of fertilizer is created based on the results of our arborist findings. 
​

Cataloging & Appraisals Services

Knowing what kind of tree and its value can be very beneficial for homeowners and commercial properties. It teaches our clients about the right environment for the right tree. Healthy and flourishing trees can not only clean the air on the property, but they also can raise the property value by 15%.  Our Cataloging and inventory of the trees and plants on your property, can help our clients know the value of each tree, as well as the type and its health. You will instantly see the landscape with a new perspective, allowing you to properly budget your landscaping.

Pine bark beetle treatment - tree insecticide injection system

Humble Arborist offers our clients the most effective methods for managing Pine Bark Beetles. We have perfected the use of The Drill, Plug, and Injection method which is far more effective than any other method available in the tree care industry. Pine Bark Beetles are aggressive and colonize incredibly fast! In most cases, by the time you notice that you have a Pine Bark Beetle infestation, it could be too late! Keep an eye out for a Pine Bark Beetle attack in your area and call Humble Arborist to prevent a potential Pine Bark Beetle out break before it becomes a serious issue for your trees!

What is a pine bark beetle?

The Pine Bark Beetle is an insect that attacks pine trees. They are attracted to trees in distress or drought stressed trees. The Pine Bark Beetle is typically the size of a grain of rice and bores a hole through the bark and into the Phloem, Cambium and Xylem layers of the pine tree. Much like our veins and arteries, these layers are the vascular layers of the tree. 

​They may be small, but the Pine Bark Beetle attacks the tree in large numbers so that the amount of bore holes in the tree is in the hundreds to the thousands. By the end of it, the vascular layer of the tree is interrupted to the point that nutrients are no longer able to make it to the crown of the tree and the tree dies. This takes as little as 14 days from the time the first beetle enters the tree. It may have already been 10 days or more by the time you notice that your tree is infested with Pine Bark Beetles.

What Does Humble Arborist do? 

A few small holes are drilled around the base of the tree. ​A small plug, known as the Arborplug™, is inserted into one drilled hole in the tree at a time. A needle is inserted into the Arborplug™ and the formula is injected. Formulas are quickly distributed up through the trunk, branches and leaves of the tree. The Arborplug™ keeps the injected formula inside the tree, protects it, and stays inside the tree with no negative reactions. In time the tree grows right over the Arborplug and the tree fights the infestation from the inside-out. 

What are the benefits to this method?

There is no toxic mess left behind. There are no chemicals left behind in the soil or in the air so it is safe for your animals and children. The success rate is high and the results are supported by proven university trials. Long term treatment and prevention will benefit you for about two years! Safe for use near rivers, streams, lakes, and federal/state land.

What methods do not work?

​Spraying the trees does not work! Spraying is only appropriate for parasites that will actually come in contact with the insecticide. Pine Bark Beetles are deep inside the tree where the solution can not reach them. Spraying is generally messy and will kill the beneficial insects such as butterflies, lady bugs, and honey bees. Spraying is illegal near waterways and is toxic for fish. Sprayed on insecticides requires large amounts of solution and will usually wash off in the rain.

What does it cost?

​Application cost is based on trunk diameter, product used, and labor for application. Call Humble Arborist to set up a consultation TODAY and we will send an estimate to you explaining the cost and necessary process of Pine Bark Beetle treatment or Pine Bark Beetle Management!

​TAKE PREVENTatIVE MEASURES 

​“Prevention is the best cure” may sound like a silly catch phrase, but when it comes to pine bark beetles, preventing them from infesting your trees before they get the chance is much more preferable to dealing with it after it is out of control. There are a few preventative measures that you can take to keep the beetles from entering and infesting your trees. 

• They infest pine trees during their peak season, which is from March to October. Act diligently before the active season for the beetle begins. 
• Diligently keep an eye out for needles turning a rusty red color or browning needles.
• A tree under stress will often times produce more fruit (pine cones) as a safety mechanism.
• If fine granular looking sawdust appears at the base of the tree you must call Humble Arborist right away!
• It may be too late to spare the tree when small crawfish mound-like structures start protruding from the bark, no bigger around than your pinky finger, with a hole in the center about the size of a grain of rice.  At this point the tree needs to be removed properly to prevent the beetles from spreading to nearby trees.
• Once the bark begins to fall from the tree it is probably too late, but we have saved them from this point before. Your other trees can be protected if you act instantly by calling us.
