Tree Health & Disease Treatment in Moline IL
Protecting Your Trees from EAB and Other Threats
The Quad Cities faces significant tree health challenges, with Emerald Ash Borer devastation topping the list of concerns for Moline property owners. Our comprehensive tree health program includes pest and disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing monitoring to protect your valuable trees. Emerald Ash Borer has killed millions of ash trees across Illinois, and without treatment, infested trees typically die within 2-4 years.
We provide trunk injection treatments that protect ash trees for up to two years per application, a proven method that's far more effective than soil drenches or sprays. Beyond EAB, we address oak wilt, Dutch elm disease, fire blight, and other common diseases affecting Quad Cities trees. Our diagnostic process starts with visual assessment by certified arborists who understand regional pest and disease patterns.
What's Included in our Health & Disease Treatment service?
Emerald Ash Borer Treatment
We protect ash trees from Emerald Ash Borer using trunk injection treatments with proven systemic insecticides. This method delivers protection directly into the tree's vascular system. Treatment is most effective on healthy or lightly-infested trees, so early intervention is critical. We follow research-based protocols with treatment timing based on tree size and infestation pressure.
Disease Diagnosis & Management
Our ISA-certified arborists diagnose tree diseases common to Moline including oak wilt, anthracnose, apple scab, and various fungal infections. Accurate diagnosis is essential as symptoms can indicate multiple conditions. We use visual assessment combined with laboratory testing when needed. Treatment may include fungicide applications, pruning of infected tissue, or soil improvements.
Soil Health & Tree Nutrition
Many tree health problems trace back to poor soil conditions - compacted clay soils, nutrient deficiencies, or pH imbalances. We provide soil testing and amendment programs that create optimal growing conditions. This includes deep root fertilization, mycorrhizal inoculation, and organic matter addition that improves soil structure and supports strong root systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about tree service
Frequently Asked Questions about Health & Disease Treatment
How quickly can you provide an estimate for tree work?
We typically provide same-day or next-day estimates for most tree work requests in Moline. One of our ISA-certified arborists will visit your property to assess the trees, discuss your needs and concerns, and provide a detailed written estimate with no obligation. For emergency situations, we can often provide phone estimates and begin work immediately with your approval.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we carry comprehensive commercial general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage for all crew members. We're fully licensed for tree work in Illinois, and we provide certificates of insurance naming your property as additional insured upon request. This protects you from any liability if accidents occur during tree work on your property.
Do you offer emergency tree services?
We provide 24/7 emergency tree removal and storm damage response across the Quad Cities with typical response times under 2 hours. Our emergency line is answered around the clock, every day of the year. We maintain on-call crews with equipment staged for rapid deployment when trees fall or create immediate hazards to property and safety.
Do you need permits to remove trees in Moline?
Moline may require permits for tree removal in certain situations, particularly for trees in public rights-of-way or protected parkway trees. We're familiar with local ordinances and can advise whether permits are needed for your project. In most cases for trees on private property away from streets and easements, permits aren't required, but we verify requirements for each job.
How much does tree removal cost in Moline?
Tree removal costs vary widely based on size, location, accessibility, and complexity - typically ranging from $400 for small trees to $3,000 or more for large specimens requiring crane work. We provide free estimates after evaluating your specific trees and site conditions. Factors affecting cost include tree height and diameter, proximity to structures, access for equipment, and whether stump grinding is included.
How long does tree work typically take?
Most residential tree removal jobs are completed in 3-8 hours depending on tree size and complexity. Pruning visits for multiple trees may take a full day. Stump grinding is usually 30-60 minutes per stump. Large projects like land clearing or extensive storm cleanup may take several days. We provide time estimates with your quote and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your property and schedule.
How do I know if my ash tree has Emerald Ash Borer?
EAB symptoms include canopy thinning starting at the top, D-shaped exit holes in the bark about 1/8 inch across, S-shaped larval galleries under the bark, and woodpecker damage as birds feed on larvae. By the time symptoms are obvious, infestation is usually advanced. We recommend professional inspection of all ash trees in Moline, as early treatment is most effective before trees show severe decline.
Can you save ash trees from Emerald Ash Borer?
Healthy ash trees and those with early-stage infestation can be protected with systemic insecticide trunk injections that provide 2 years of protection per treatment. Treatment is most successful on trees with less than 50% canopy decline. Severely infested trees with extensive dieback are usually past the point where treatment is cost-effective. We assess each tree individually and recommend treatment only when we believe it will be successful.
What other tree diseases are common in the Quad Cities?
Oak wilt affects red and white oaks and spreads through root grafts and insect vectors. Anthracnose creates leaf spots and can defoliate trees during wet springs. Dutch elm disease continues to threaten American elms. Apple scab affects crabapples and creates leaf spotting. Fire blight strikes ornamental pears and apples. We diagnose and treat all common tree diseases affecting Moline area trees using appropriate fungicides, pruning, and management strategies.
How can I improve my tree's health?
Tree health starts with proper site conditions - adequate water, good soil, and appropriate light. We provide deep root fertilization to address nutrient deficiencies, soil amendments to improve structure in heavy clay soils, proper mulching to conserve moisture, and pruning to improve structure. Many tree health problems stem from construction damage, soil compaction, or improper planting, all of which we can address with corrective treatments.
