Trees are the foundation of any stunning landscape, but when disease strikes, they can quickly decline if not properly diagnosed and treated. At Arbor Tree Feeding Experts, we provide professional tree disease diagnosis and treatment services led by Certified Arborists who understand the complexities of Arizona’s unique tree species and the challenges they face. With over 30 years of experience, Rick – The Tree Expert has been safeguarding the valley’s trees, expertly diagnosing issues and applying highly effective treatments to restore their health.

The Importance of a Certified Arborist’s Diagnosis

Not all tree problems are visible to the untrained eye, and incorrect treatment can make matters worse. A Certified Arborist has the knowledge and expertise to:

  • Identify early signs of disease before significant damage occurs

  • Distinguish between environmental stress, pest issues, and actual infections

  • Prescribe the right course of treatment tailored to the specific disease and tree species

  • Prevent unnecessary tree removal by using science-based treatment strategies

At Arbor Tree Feeding Experts, we believe in a proactive approach to tree health. Early diagnosis means the difference between saving a tree and losing it entirely.

Common Tree Diseases in Arizona

Arizona’s hot, arid climate presents unique challenges for tree health. Some of the most common tree diseases in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the surrounding areas include:

1. Texas Root Rot

  • A deadly fungal disease that thrives in alkaline soils

  • Causes sudden wilting and rapid decline

  • Treatment: Soil aeration, proper watering adjustments, and targeted fungicide applications

2. Sooty Canker

  • A fungal disease that affects weak or stressed trees

  • Identified by blackened, sunken lesions on branches

  • Treatment: Pruning infected areas and boosting tree immunity with deep root fertilization

3. Anthracnose

  • Causes leaf blight, defoliation, and weakened branches

  • Thrives in humid conditions and spreads rapidly

  • Treatment: Removing infected foliage and applying specialized fungicide treatments

4. Fire Blight

  • A bacterial infection that targets fruit trees and ornamental species

  • Leads to blackened, shriveled branches resembling fire damage

  • Treatment: Selective pruning, copper-based bactericides, and micro-injections

5. Ganoderma Root Rot

  • A fatal disease caused by fungal spores attacking the root system

  • Often identified by the presence of mushroom-like conks at the tree base

  • Treatment: Removing infected trees and improving soil conditions to prevent future cases

The Problem with At-the-Base Watering

Many trees in Arizona suffer from root rot and fungal infections due to improper watering practices. Landscapers frequently install at-the-base watering systems, which lead to:

  • Excess moisture accumulation around the trunk

  • Increased risk of fungal growth and root rot

  • Weak root systems that fail to anchor the tree properly

Our Certified Arborists assess watering issues and recommend deep root watering methods that allow moisture to reach the roots without suffocating them. This approach promotes strong, disease-resistant trees.

What Our Amazing Customers Have To Say!

We aren’t happy unless you’re happy

I have a beautiful but old orange tree in my back yard, not only does it produce excellent oranges but lots of shade. A couple of years ago, I thought it was a gone. I got Rick’s name from a flyer in my mailbox. My tree now thrives thanks to the deep fertilizer he does twice a year. And he’s a really nice man

I am extremely happy with the quick response and professional service provided by Arbor Tree Feeding Experts. Rick responded to my inquiry quickly and scheduled work to fit my needs. 2 of my trees were in bad shape and needed pruning to correct past bad cutting jobs. His tree fertilizing ability was essential and overdue for all 4 of my trees. I highly recommend Arbor Tree Feeding Experts for Arborist professional tree pruning and nutritional fertilizing.

While it may seem that some companies offer lower prices, not all services are the same. At Arbor Tree Feeding Experts, we take a thorough, holistic approach to evaluating your trees. Our Certified Arborists assess every aspect, including tree health, proper pruning, aesthetics, and long-term vitality. Often, we hear from customers who weren’t informed of potential issues by other providers, which can lead to costly surprises down the road.

Our goal is to ensure that your trees thrive and remain healthy for many years to come, not just offer a quick fix. While we may not be the cheapest option, our comprehensive care and expertise make us the absolute best choice for protecting the investment you've made in your landscape.

Arbor Tree Feeding Experts proudly services several areas in Arizona, including Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, North Phoenix, Glendale, Carefree, Cave Creek, and Peoria. If you're located in or around these regions, we're ready to help you with all of your tree care needs!

Absolutely! Arbor Tree Feeding Experts is fully insured with $1 million in liability insurance. In Arizona, any tree work done above 8 feet requires liability insurance, or else the homeowner could be held responsible for any damages or injuries that occur on their property. We also carry worker’s compensation to protect our employees. With Arbor Tree Feeding Experts, you can have peace of mind knowing that we are fully covered, ensuring the safety of your property and protection from any potential risks.

While it may seem easy to take care of your trees on your own, tree care is far more complex than just trimming branches. Improper pruning, unsafe climbing, or incorrect treatments can lead to damage, personal injury, or even tree death. Our Certified Arborists have the knowledge and experience to assess the health of your trees, provide proper care, and ensure long-term health and safety.

Additionally, tree work can be dangerous without the right equipment and training. Arbor Tree Feeding Experts uses specialized tools and techniques to handle any job safely and efficiently, protecting both your trees and your property. Hiring a professional means you get expert care, safety, and peace of mind—without the risk.

While landscapers can handle general yard maintenance, tree care requires specialized knowledge and training. Trees are living organisms with specific needs, and improper pruning or care can lead to long-term damage, poor health, or even death. Certified Arborists, like those at Arbor Tree Feeding Experts, are trained to understand the biology of trees and provide the right care at the right time.

Additionally, many landscapers do not sterilize their equipment between jobs, which can easily spread diseases from one tree to another. This poses a significant risk to the health of your trees. Moreover, most landscapers do not carry the necessary insurance for tree work, meaning if they are injured while working on your property, you could be held liable.

By choosing Arbor Tree Feeding Experts, you’re investing in the health, safety, and longevity of your trees, with the peace of mind that our experts use proper sterilization techniques and are fully insured for any tree-related work.
