Who They're For and What They Solve
Tree health and disease treatment is the diagnosis and correction of what is harming a living tree. It combines physical inspection, soil and tissue sampling, and targeted intervention through trunk injection, foliar application, soil treatment, or selective pruning. The goal is preservation. A trained arborist identifies the specific cause before any product touches the tree.
This service is for property owners with mature or valuable trees showing decline they cannot explain. Canopy thinning, off-season leaf drop, fungal growth at the root flare, sawdust at the base, or dieback in the upper branches all point to a treatable condition. One tree failing while neighbors thrive is a strong diagnostic signal worth investigating quickly.
Treatment addresses pests, pathogens, and root or soil failures that kill trees from the inside out. Left alone, borers girdle the vascular system, fungal cankers spread through the canopy, and root rot quietly destroys structural support. A tree that could have been saved for a few hundred dollars becomes a removal, a stump, and a replacement.
Is It Time?
These are the symptoms customers describe when they call us.
Our Services
Our tree health and disease treatment spans diagnosis, insect control, pathogen management, and root system correction.
A certified arborist inspects the canopy, trunk, root flare, and surrounding soil, sounds the wood for internal decay, and pulls tissue or soil samples for lab confirmation when the cause is unclear. You receive written findings with photographs and ranked treatment options.
We inject treatment directly into the vascular system to reach borers, bark beetles, scale, and aphids feeding inside the tree. Injection keeps material contained within the trunk, avoids drift, and delivers protection that lasts one to three growing seasons depending on the pest.
Cankers, anthracnose, blight, powdery mildew, and root rot each require a different protocol. We combine targeted fungicide application, removal of infected wood, and moisture and airflow correction to stop the pathogen spreading through the canopy or into neighboring trees.
Compacted soil starves roots of oxygen and is a leading cause of unexplained decline. We use air spading to relieve compaction, correct girdling roots, and inject balanced nutrients and mycorrhizal inoculant at the root zone to rebuild uptake capacity.

Why Homeowners Choose Mr. Local Services
Every diagnosis is performed by an ISA Certified Arborist. No estimator guesses at your tree. Licensed applicators handle every treatment, and we carry $2M general liability plus full workers' compensation.
Removal pays more than treatment. We still tell you in writing when decay or infestation has gone too far, because our reputation depends on being right, not on volume.
Findings, photographs, the identified pathogen or pest, ranked treatment options, expected outcomes, and a monitoring schedule. Documented in writing so you can decide without pressure.
Your assessment cost is quoted before we arrive and credited toward the treatment plan when you proceed. No hourly surprises and no vague estimates.
How It Works
Call 951-458-6466 and tell us the symptoms. We quote the flat assessment fee on that call and schedule within 48 hours.
A certified arborist inspects canopy, trunk, root flare, and soil, samples where needed, and identifies the cause. Most assessments take 45 to 90 minutes.
You receive documented findings with photos and priced options within two business days. We explain what each treatment does and what it will not fix.
Licensed applicators carry out the plan, then we return on schedule to verify response and adjust. Most protocols run across one to two growing seasons.
Pricing
We publish real numbers because vague pricing wastes your time and ours.
A diagnostic assessment with written report runs $150 to $325, credited toward treatment when you proceed. Systemic trunk injection typically falls between $150 and $500 per tree, scaled to trunk diameter. Fungal disease programs run $250 to $900 depending on protocol and visits. Deep root fertilization and air spading range $300 to $1,200.
Cost is driven by four factors: trunk diameter and canopy size, the pathogen or pest identified, the number of treatment visits required, and site access for equipment. Every plan is priced in writing before work begins.
Often, yes, when the cause is identified before decay compromises structure. Early-stage infestations and most fungal infections respond well to treatment.
You usually cannot from the ground, and the treatments differ completely. Sampling and inspection separate boring insects from vascular or root pathogens.
Yes, a flat fee of $150 to $325 quoted upfront. It is credited toward your treatment plan when you move forward.
Assessments are scheduled within 48 hours. Call 951-458-6466 and we will confirm the earliest slot.
Every technician holds a state pesticide and herbicide applicator license, and our arborists carry ISA certification. We are insured at $2M general liability.
We tell you in writing and explain why. When decay has compromised more than half the trunk, treatment will not restore stability, and our tree removal service how we take the tree down without damaging what is left standing.
Insect activity stops within weeks of injection. Visible canopy recovery generally takes one to two full growing seasons.
Every week of decline narrows your options. Book an assessment and get a certified arborist’s written verdict within two business days.
