Keeping the Trees That Make Your Property
A mature oak can take decades to replace. Tree preservation is about keeping those trees healthy through the things that threaten them most: construction, grade changes, root damage and stress.
McCullough Tree Service's ISA-certified arborists help homeowners, builders and property managers plan around valuable trees and care for trees that are struggling.
Protecting Trees During Construction
Most construction damage happens below ground: trenching through roots, driving equipment over the root zone, or piling soil against the trunk. Before work starts, our arborist can mark a protection zone around trees you want to keep and advise on pruning that may be needed to make room.

Helping Stressed Trees Recover
- A health assessment to find the cause of decline
- Removal of dead and damaged wood
- Advice on mulching and watering through dry spells
- Cabling or weight reduction for structurally weak trees worth saving
