Your tree is struggling and you need answers today. Not a callback next week. Not a form to fill out with no response. At Trees Hurt Too, Inc., we come to your property, we evaluate your tree in person, and we tell you exactly what is wrong and what can be done about it. No guesswork. No generic advice. A real diagnosis from a tree doctor who has spent more than 20 years treating sick trees across Tarrant County and the DFW area.
"People search for a tree doctor the same way they search for a specialist when something is wrong with their health. They want someone who knows exactly what they are looking at, not someone guessing from a distance. That is how we approach every evaluation. We do not recommend treatments before we understand the problem."

Does Your Tree Need a Doctor Right Now?
Trees do not get sick overnight. The conditions that cause visible decline develop over months, sometimes underground or inside the vascular system where you cannot see them. By the time your tree looks wrong, the problem has usually been building for a full season. That is why the right time to call a tree doctor is the moment you notice something is off, not after you have watched it get worse for six months.
Call Us Immediately If Your Tree Is Showing Any of These Signs
- Leaves dropping in summer when they should not be, especially with green and brown coloring at the same time
- Brown veins on otherwise green or yellow leaves, which is the signature symptom of oak wilt
- Canopy thinning at the top and progressing downward over days or weeks
- Bark falling away in large sections to reveal dark powdery material underneath
- Small round holes in the bark with sawdust-like material nearby indicating borers
- Mushrooms or fungal growth at the base of the trunk
- Branches that were healthy last season dying this season with no clear cause
- Sticky, black, or discolored residue on leaves indicating insect damage
- A tree that simply looks worse than it did this time last year
"My rule of thumb is simple: if something looks off, call us. The cost of a free evaluation is nothing. The cost of losing a mature tree because the call came six months too late is something you cannot undo. I have never told a homeowner they called too early. I have told them they called too late more times than I would like."

Why Acting Fast Matters in North Texas
- Oak wilt can kill a red oak within two to six weeks of showing first visible symptoms
- A single infected live oak spreads oak wilt underground through root grafts to every connected tree on the property, silently, with no above-ground warning
- Borer infestations are typically well established beneath the bark for one to two years before exit holes become visible at the surface
- Hypoxylon canker has no cure once advanced. The only defense is addressing drought and soil stress before the fungus colonizes
- Emergency removal of a mature oak in DFW costs three to ten times more than proactive treatment of that same tree
What a Tree Doctor Does That Other Companies Cannot
A tree doctor is not a lawn service crew with a chainsaw. A tree doctor evaluates the biological health of a tree from the root zone to the canopy, identifies the specific condition causing decline, and applies targeted treatments designed for that exact condition. The distinction matters because the wrong treatment for the wrong diagnosis does not just fail to help. It can make the problem significantly worse.
In North Texas specifically, common conditions that look identical on the surface require completely different treatment approaches:
- Oak wilt treated as heat stress results in no treatment while the disease spreads underground to every connected oak on your property
- Hypoxylon canker treated aggressively with fungicide wastes money because stress reduction is the actual solution, not chemical application
- Borer infestation treated with surface sprays misses the larvae tunneling inside the bark entirely
- Root rot treated with fertilization compounds the anaerobic root zone conditions that caused the problem in the first place
- Drought stress treated the same as a fungal disease delays the actual treatment while the tree continues to decline
What Our Tree Doctor Evaluates on Your Property
- Full canopy inspection for density, color, dieback patterns, and seasonal appropriateness
- Bark and trunk assessment for cracking, fungal mats, boring holes, and structural integrity
- Root zone and soil evaluation for compaction, drainage, oxygen levels, and moisture retention
- Foliage inspection for disease lesions, insect evidence, and specific symptom patterns
- Environmental stressor assessment including heat exposure, irrigation patterns, and proximity to impervious surfaces
- Neighboring tree risk assessment for potential disease spread through root grafts or insect vectors

Sick Tree Treatments Available From Our Tree Doctor
Once our tree doctor identifies the specific condition affecting your tree, we have a full range of professional treatments available. Every treatment is performed by our licensed applicators and documented for your records.
Tree Injections and Microinjection Technology
For active disease or insect infestation, our microinjection technology delivers treatment directly into the tree's vascular system where the condition is active. This is the most effective delivery method available for oak wilt management, borer control, vascular fungal diseases, and micronutrient deficiencies. Treatment lasts up to two years and is far more precise than surface applications. Learn more at our tree injections page.
Deep Root Feeding and Soil Recovery
For trees declining from nutrient deficiency or compacted clay soil stress, deep root feeding delivers carbon-based nutrients and beneficial microbes directly into the root zone under pressure. This is one of the most effective interventions available for trees in Tarrant County where the clay soil actively blocks surface fertilization from reaching roots. Learn more at our deep root feeding page.
Oak Wilt Evaluation and Treatment
If your oaks are showing any concerning symptoms, an immediate evaluation is critical. Our tree doctor assesses the stage of infection, the risk to neighboring trees, and the available treatment options including propiconazole fungicide injections and root barrier installation. Learn more at our oak wilt treatment page.
Fungal Disease Treatment
Fungal conditions require targeted fungicide programs calibrated to the specific pathogen involved. Our tree doctor selects the right treatment chemistry and timing for the diagnosed condition rather than applying generic fungicide to everything that looks diseased. Learn more at our tree fungus treatment page.
Moisture Management and Soil Correction
For trees declining from root zone stress caused by Tarrant County's clay soils, our Hydretain Root Zone Moisture Management program addresses the drainage and hydration imbalance that causes chronic tree stress throughout the region. Learn more at our moisture management page.

Frequently Asked Questions About Finding a Tree Doctor Near You in Tarrant County
What does a tree doctor do?
A tree doctor evaluates the biological health of a tree, diagnoses the specific disease, pest, or stress condition causing decline, and applies targeted treatments to restore it. This includes tree injections, deep root feeding, fungicide programs, insect control, soil health correction, and oak wilt management. The focus is always on what is happening inside the tree and root zone, not just what is visible on the surface.
How do I find a tree doctor near me in Tarrant County?
Trees Hurt Too provides tree doctor services throughout Tarrant County including Arlington, Fort Worth, Mansfield, Keller, Southlake, Bedford, Colleyville, Euless, Grapevine, Irving, and surrounding communities.

How quickly can a tree doctor come out?
We schedule free on-site evaluations at your earliest convenience throughout Tarrant County. Call (972) 521-1552 to arrange a visit. For situations involving trees showing rapid decline we prioritize scheduling whenever possible.
Can a tree doctor save my dying tree?
In many cases yes, particularly when the condition is caught before it becomes irreversible. Trees showing stress, early disease, or pest damage can often be treated and restored with targeted intervention. Our tree doctor evaluates every tree honestly and tells you directly what the realistic options are before recommending any treatment or investment.
My tree is losing leaves in summer. Do I need a tree doctor?
Yes, call a tree doctor immediately. Summer leaf drop in North Texas is a serious warning sign. It can indicate oak wilt, which can kill a red oak within two to six weeks of first symptoms. It can also indicate hypoxylon canker, severe drought stress, or root rot. Waiting to see if it improves on its own dramatically reduces the odds of saving the tree.
How much does a tree doctor visit cost in Tarrant County?
Trees Hurt Too provides completely free on-site tree doctor evaluations with no obligation throughout Tarrant County. There is no charge for the visit, no minimum commitment, and no pressure to proceed with any treatment. Call (972) 521-1552 to schedule your free evaluation today.
What is the difference between a tree doctor and a regular tree service?
A regular tree service handles mechanical work. A tree doctor focuses on the biological health of the tree, diagnosing the internal condition causing decline and treating it at the source. Trees Hurt Too is led by ISA Certified Arborist Ken, license Tx-3265-A, who brings tested professional diagnostic credentials to every evaluation rather than relying on field experience alone.
Is a tree doctor the same as an arborist?
Yes. Tree doctor is the term homeowners use when searching for help with a sick or struggling tree. ISA Certified Arborist is the professional credentialing term for that specialist. Our owner Ken is an ISA Certified Arborist, license Tx-3265-A. For our full credentials and arborist services overview visit our Tree Health Care and Arborist Services page.
What tree problems are most common in Tarrant County?
The most common conditions our tree doctor diagnoses in Tarrant County include oak wilt, hypoxylon canker, borer infestations, root rot from clay soil drainage issues, leaf spot, anthracnose, aphid and scale damage, and drought stress compounded by North Texas heat cycles. For a detailed guide to identifying these conditions visit our North Texas tree disease identification page.
Do you treat commercial properties?
Yes. We provide tree doctor services for residential homes, commercial properties, HOA communities, schools, hospitals, retail centers, and municipal landscapes. Learn more about our commercial tree care and arborist services.
