Tree Health Evaluation by an ISA Certified Arborist

Find out what's wrong with your tree before it gets worse, or before you spend money on the wrong fix.

When you need it

Leaves turning early or spotting, dead branches, thin canopy, mushrooms at the base, cracks, peeling bark, holes or sawdust from insects, or a tree that changed after a storm or construction. Also when you're deciding whether to save a tree or take it down.

What happens

An ISA Certified Arborist (Ryan or Becky) visits, walks the property with you, and checks each tree you're worried about: leaves, branches, trunk, roots and the soil around it. You get a plain answer and a written report with what we found and what we recommend. That might be pruning, treatment, cabling, fertilizing, watching it, or removal.

Questions people ask

Can you tell what's wrong from a photo?

Sometimes we can narrow it down, but many problems look alike. Seeing the tree in person is much more reliable.

Will you just tell me to cut it down?

No. We'd rather save a good tree, and we'll tell you honestly when that makes sense.

Is my ash tree worth treating for emerald ash borer?

Often yes, if it still has most of its canopy. An evaluation tells you.

What our customers say

Neighbors who trust us with their trees

“Buds removed a massive maple tree in our back yard a couple of years ago. Last week we had them come back to remove a damaged maple from our front yard. They also ground the stump. On both occasions the work and cleanup was done efficiently and safely. One of our neighbors commented on the courtesy of the crew. We are pleased with the quality of the services provided and would recommend Buds.”

“The 4 workers who showed up did a phenomenal job in cutting a couple of trees down and trimming up an older one. By the time they were done you couldn't tell the trees cut down were ever there and the trimming got branches away from our house. They cleaned up all the debris and left the yard very clean.”
