🌳 Why Summer Tree Inspections Matter

1. Heat and Drought Stress
Utah summers are hot and dry. Without enough moisture, trees can show signs of stress like wilting, leaf scorch, or early leaf drop. Some of these symptoms aren’t visible from the ground until they become a bigger problem. Regular inspections help spot issues before it’s too late.

2. Hidden Damage from Spring Growth
Spring growth often hides structural problems—like weak limb attachments, cracks, or unbalanced canopies. A summer inspection gives us a clear view of how your tree handled the season and whether it’s developing problems that could worsen with summer storms.

3. Pest and Disease Activity Peaks in Summer
Warmer weather brings more activity from borers, aphids, scale, and fungal diseases. Many infestations start in early summer and go unnoticed until serious damage is done. We know what to look for and when to act.

4. Monsoon Winds Are Coming
Utah’s monsoon season can bring surprise windstorms, especially in July and August. Overgrown limbs, dead wood, or hidden decay can become dangerous projectiles. A pre-storm inspection helps prevent costly damage to your home, vehicles, or power lines.
