Professional-grade treatment delivered to the root zone, trunk, or canopy as the diagnosis requires, with follow-up monitoring and adjustments.
Is Your Tree Telling You Something's Wrong?
Plant healthcare is never optional for a tree showing decline — waiting too long is often the difference between saving a mature tree and losing it. Call us if you see:
- Yellowing, browning, or premature leaf drop
- A thinning canopy or stunted growth
- Bark splitting, oozing sap, or visible fungal growth
- Construction damage, soil compaction, or grade changes at the root zone
- Trees struggling in Chattanooga's heavy clay soils
Think it's too far gone? Many of the trees we save were ones their owners assumed were already beyond help. Get it assessed before you write it off.
Every Treatment Includes
- Comprehensive tree health assessment by a professional arborist
- Soil testing and analysis when indicated

- Professional-grade products and application methods
- Follow-up monitoring and treatment adjustments
Treatment methods include deep root fertilization, soil amendment injections, trunk injections for pest and disease control, mycorrhizal inoculants, and targeted foliar applications — chosen by diagnosis, not by default. We've treated and saved hundreds of mature Chattanooga trees that other companies recommended removing.

“Would absolutely recommend Urban Tree to anyone looking for quality work! This is our second time using their service and they show up to impress. Not a trace to be found after they finished the job.”
Plant Healthcare Questions, Answered
Why is my tree declining?
Common causes in the Chattanooga area include nutrient deficiency in clay-heavy soil, soil compaction, construction damage to the root zone, pest infestations, and fungal disease. The visible symptom rarely tells the whole story — that's why every treatment starts with a diagnostic assessment rather than a guess.
Can fertilization harm a tree?
Yes — over-fertilization causes root burn, weak water-dependent growth, and increased pest vulnerability. We never fertilize without first assessing what the tree actually needs, and we use slow-release deep root formulations that feed the tree over months. If your tree doesn't need fertilizer, we'll tell you.
How long does a treatment take?
Most individual treatments take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on tree size and treatment type. Trunk injections are typically under an hour; deep root fertilization for a large oak can take up to 2 hours.
When will I see results?
Nutrient deficiencies often show visible improvement within 4 to 8 weeks. Disease and pest treatments may take a full growing season for complete recovery. We set clear expectations during the assessment and follow up to monitor progress.
Do you treat insect and disease problems?
Yes. Trunk injections and targeted applications control most common pest and disease issues when caught in time. The key is accurate identification of the culprit — treatment for the wrong pest wastes money and loses time the tree may not have.
What if my tree can't be saved?
We tell you honestly. If a tree is beyond treatment, we explain why, and can provide a written removal estimate. But removal is never our first recommendation — preserving the tree is always the goal when it's realistic.
