Oak and Elm Tree Care Services

Expert Oak and Elm Tree Preservation, Pruning & Disease Prevention by Spears Tree Experts Inc.

Specialized care for Oak and Elm trees is centered on protecting these iconic species from aggressive pathogens—specifically Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease (DED). Professional services prioritize dormant pruning during the winter months, as the sap-feeding beetles that transmit these fungal infections are inactive in the cold, allowing the trees to heal without attracting pests.

Expert arborists use a combination of strategic crown thinning to improve airflow, structural training to maintain a strong central leader, and precision cuts to avoid damaging the branch collar, which is vital for natural wound sealing. Beyond trimming, comprehensive care often includes fungicidal injections for high-value specimens, soil amendments to boost root health, and regular inspections to identify early signs of wilting or browning. By utilizing these science-based maintenance techniques, tree care services ensure the longevity and structural integrity of these "monumental" trees within the urban landscape.

At Spears Tree Experts Inc., we bring over 30 years of hands-on experience to every Oak and Elm  tree we service. Homeowners and property managers throughout Plymouth, Canton, Northville, and surrounding communities rely on us to keep their oak trees strong, safe, and thriving in every season.

We’re more than a tree service company — we’re your long-term partner in protecting your landscape and investment.

Why Oak and Elm Tree Care Matters

Oak and Elm  trees are hardy, but they’re not invincible. Their size and longevity make them both an asset and a responsibility. Without professional care, oaks can develop structural issues, become vulnerable to pests, or fall victim to serious diseases like oak wilt — a fast-spreading fungal disease that can kill a tree in a single season.

Proper maintenance ensures:

• Strong branch structure
• Improved safety during storms
• Longer lifespan
• Increased resistance to disease
• Better seasonal performance
• Enhanced beauty and canopy density

Our certified and highly trained experts use industry-leading methods to ensure every oak receives the precise care it needs.
