Phytophthora Root Rot: The Tree Disease That Sometimes Looks Like Drought
It’s only natural to grab a garden hose when you see one of your trees looking parched. But if your tree is suffering from Phytophthora
We sincerely value every tree we encounter, and while removal is always our last resort, it’s occasionally unavoidable. Some trees develop structural or health issues that pose a hazard to people and property, while others may conflict with development projects or land-use goals.
But no matter the reason removal is necessary, homeowners and property managers in the greater DC Metropolitan area can rely on the experts at RTEC Treecare.
When removal is necessary, we approach the job with the rigor and care this kind of work requires. One of our ISA-certified arborists will evaluate the tree, identify potential safety concerns, and develop a custom strategy for removing it in the safest, least disruptive manner possible.
Our team will then carry out the removal, using time-tested practices to avoid damaging your landscape, nearby trees, or structures. Once finished, they’ll meticulously clean the area, remove any debris produced, and leave your property in pristine condition.
Tree removal is a high-stakes project, with safety implications for you, your family, and your property. That’s why it is important to avoid volume-focused outfits and instead choose a team of skilled professionals who prioritize safety and precision.
That’s exactly what you get when you rely on RTEC Treecare. Our TCIA-accredited team and ISA-certified arborists will use industry-leading equipment and employ a safety-first approach to remove hazardous or undesirable trees on your property while providing the kind of service you deserve.
