Figuring out what is actually wrong with your Kent tree
Kent trees show stress for a dozen different reasons — soil compaction, borer pressure, drought, root damage from old sidewalk work. We diagnose the cause, not just the symptom.

Plant health diagnosis for Kent properties
If your Kent oak is thinning at the top or your maple has bark falling off, the answer is not a generic treatment package. Tyler walks the tree, checks the root flare, looks at the canopy and the surrounding soil, and tells you what he sees. Sometimes the answer is treatment, sometimes the answer is correcting a mulch volcano someone built ten years ago, and sometimes the honest answer is that the tree is not going to recover.
“In Kent the same symptoms can mean five different things depending on the tree and the site. I do not treat without diagnosing — that is how money gets wasted.”
— Tyler Griffith, ISA Certified Arborist
