Trees in urban areas have different needs than trees in a forest.  When trees mature they require more care and attention. Trees in urban areas are growing in an unnatural state, they must compete with structures, concrete, other landscape materials, and many suffer from soil compaction.

 

When trees are not planted properly from their beginning; wires, burlap, plastic containers eventually affect their growth and health. They struggle to grow and require care to help them thrive. Oftentimes when trees are planted their surrounding areas may not have been taken into consideration (swimming pool, decks, sidewalks), because of their extensive root systems they expend a lot energy competing to survive.

Trees do not require "over loving", most often they thrive best in solitude. However some circumstances may require that they get care due to root issues, insect and disease infestation, or poor soil conditions.


The most common cause of tree death is root issues or failures, there are many common diseases that affect the tree's root system that may not be visible. With proper fertilization and treatments, the soil can emulate the forest floor giving them more energy and food to increase their health and vitality.
