This year has been a bad year for Pine Beetles. Since Hurricane Ike blew through the Houston area, I have noticed many pine trees affected by this relentless bug. The bad thing is that Pine Beetles quickly migrate from tree to tree. So when you start to notice wholes in your Pine tree, action must be taken. If spotted early enough, the tree can be treated, if not…the tree must be removed. Otherwise you will see a epidemic of sick or dying pine trees near you. See the photos below.

Sick or dying trees will attract Termites. The tree should be removed immediately.
Call Leyendecker Landscape if you need help with this matter. We will diagnose, treat and remove small or large trees, if necessary. Or we can thin out and just trim your existing healthy trees. We will also grind out and remove the stump for you.
Here we are trimming and removing dead branches.
