Tree Fertilization &Disease Control Services
Yellowing leaves, dying branches, or poor growth? Your trees may be fighting disease or nutrient deficiency. AT’s Tree Service diagnoses the cause and treats it — saving trees that would otherwise need removal.
Your Trees Are Fighting Harder Than You Think
Landscape trees face challenges their forest counterparts don’t — compacted roots, soil replaced during construction, competition from turf, and stress from salt, drought, and pollution. These stressors weaken trees’ natural defenses, opening the door to disease and pest attack.
AT’s Tree Service offers deep-root fertilization and targeted disease treatments to diagnose problems early and correct them before they require removal. We treat the cause, not just the symptom.

Catch disease and nutrient deficiency early — treatment is far cheaper than removal.
