Expert Tree Services in Salt Lake City | Summit Arborists

In Salt Lake City, water damage from sprinkler leaks or hidden pipe leaks can stress trees by saturating the root zone, leading to root rot or fungal disease. Our ISA-certified arborists assess the soil moisture and tree health, using air-spading to aerate compacted soil and improve drainage. We also apply deep root fertilization to support recovery and monitor for signs of decay. If a tree is structurally compromised, we may recommend cabling or bracing for stability or, in severe cases, safe removal. We serve neighborhoods like Sugar House and near Liberty Park, where older trees are common, and respond quickly to prevent further damage.

Tree cabling and bracing involves installing flexible steel cables or rigid rods to provide extra support for weak branches or split trunks. This is often used for trees with structural defects, such as those damaged by storms or with heavy, unbalanced canopies. Our arborists evaluate the tree's condition and install the system to reduce the risk of limb failure, prolonging the tree's life. It's a common service for mature trees in areas like The Avenues or Park City, where preserving large shade trees is important.

Yes, we specialize in managing tree insects like aphids, scale, and borers that are common in the Salt Lake Valley. Our approach begins with a thorough inspection to identify the pest and assess the level of infestation. We then use targeted, environmentally responsible treatments, such as horticultural oils or systemic insecticides, applied by our certified arborists. We also provide preventive care through deep root fertilization and proper pruning to keep trees healthy and resilient. This service is available for properties near landmarks like the University of Utah and throughout the city.
