Property Inspections for Oak Wilt
Oak Wilt Pros offers pre-purchase property inspections for oak wilt, which can help identify any oak wilt-related threats to the property. Additionally, these inspections provide valuable information to the buyer. Furthermore, our detailed inspection reports outline any findings and include estimates for recommended services. Moreover, oak wilt inspections benefit property owners by thoroughly assessing tree health to address potential issues early.
Macro-Injection Treatment for Oak Wilt
Oak Wilt Pros is a leader in oak wilt macro-injection treatments. We utilize the best equipment and techniques, while following Texas Forest Service guidelines, to increase the success rates of oak wilt treatment. We recommend preventative applications to minimize losses in affected areas. To help prevent further decline, you can also use therapeutic treatments on high-value trees already showing symptoms.
Suppression Trenching for Oak Wilt
We recommend oak wilt trenching to stop disease movement and reduce the footprint of an oak wilt center. At Oak Wilt Pros, we trench to a depth of 52″, exceeding the Texas Forest Service’s minimum requirement to improve trench success rates. We cut trenches at least 100 feet from the infected area to avoid disease movement in the root systems. Further excavation may be necessary in deep root zones depending on the topography and soil composition.
