Diagnosing plant problems requires a combination of knowledge, experience, and keen observation. Most often it is not simply a case of identifying an insect or disease. Trees that dire or decline usually are suffering from a combination of stress factors, and insects or diseases are often secondary, attacking the weakened tree.
Unlike the estimate, a diagnosis is the actual diagnostic of the problem that your tree(s) are having. All of our estimates for actual work to be performed are free; the diagnosis, however, is not. The charge for diagnosis is $75+, depending on how many trees we are diagnosing. As with estimates, you can either call us to set up an appointment, or fill out the form below with all of your information and we will contact you as soon as possible.
