Uncover Hidden Threats and Safeguard Your Trees. Proactive Tree Care to Protect Your Landscape
Your trees are a valuable asset, adding beauty, shade, and value to your property. But disease, pests, and structural issues can silently threaten their health and stability. At Brussell’s Lawn & Tree, we offer professional tree inspection and disease diagnosis services in Citrus Springs and surrounding areas to identify problems before they become irreversible, protecting the long-term health and safety of your landscape.
We recognize the distinct challenges trees encounter in Florida’s environment. With years of hands-on experience and a deep knowledge of regional vegetation, our team provides thorough assessments and accurate diagnoses. Our mission is to protect and enhance the natural beauty of your property by providing proactive care that ensures your trees remain strong, healthy, and resilient for years to come.
A beautiful tree can hide silent threats that put your entire landscape, and even your property, at risk. In Citrus Springs, several common diseases and hazards affect both native and ornamental trees. Here are five of the most prevalent dangers to watch for:
Oak wilt is a fast-spreading fungal disease that can destroy entire trees in a matter of weeks. It hinders the flow of water and nutrients, causing leaves to wilt, brown, and drop rapidly. Left unchecked, oak wilt can kill healthy oaks and quickly spread to others nearby, endangering the look and stability of your whole yard.
This disease, also known as HLB, affects citrus trees throughout Florida. It causes leaves to yellow asymmetrically, causes misshapen fruit, and leads to a slow decline and eventual death of the tree. Citrus greening spreads easily via tiny insects, threatening not just individual trees, but entire groves and home landscapes.
Root rot commonly stems from a combination of waterlogged soil and fungal pathogens that attack a tree’s roots beneath the surface. Symptoms often remain invisible until a tree suddenly weakens or collapses, putting people and property in danger. Once root systems decay, a tree can be vulnerable to falling, even in mild winds.
Southern pine beetles and similar pests can invade pine trees, boring tiny holes in the bark and disrupting the tree’s lifeline of nutrients. The damage weakens the tree’s structure and can rapidly lead to death, while also making the tree a hazard for falling limbs or collapse.
Trees that have suffered limb loss, trunk cracks, or hidden splits from storms may seem to “recover,” but internal weakness can persist long after the storm passes. These structural problems often go unnoticed until a future weather event causes large branches or entire trees to fall, posing threats to both property and personal safety.
To deliver accurate diagnoses and effective recommendations, we follow a systematic and thorough inspection process. Our approach ensures that every aspect of your tree’s health is evaluated, providing you with a complete picture and a clear path forward.
Our process begins with a detailed, ground-level visual inspection. An expert from our team will walk your property to examine the tree from top to bottom. We look at the leaves, branches, trunk, and the area around the base, searching for any signs of stress, damage, or disease
If we identify symptoms of concern, we conduct a more focused analysis. This may involve examining bark for signs of insect boring, checking for fungal bodies, or assessing the extent of any visible decay. Our local expertise helps us quickly recognize problems common to the Citrus Springs area.
A tree's health starts at its base. We carefully inspect the root collar, where the trunk meets the soil, for signs of decay, girdling roots, or excess soil buildup. We also assess the surrounding soil conditions to check for compaction or poor drainage that could be impacting root health.
Once our assessment is complete, we provide you with a clear, easy-to-understand report of our findings. We’ll explain what we found, what it means for your tree’s health, and offer a range of potential solutions. Our recommendations are always honest, whether it's a simple treatment, strategic pruning, or, if necessary, removal.
Your satisfaction and understanding are paramount. We will walk you through our report, answer all your questions, and develop a customized action plan that fits your goals and budget. We believe in empowering you to make informed decisions for the care and keeping of your property.
