Bear Creek Tree Service diagnoses and treats trees under stress across Western North Carolina, including treatment for hemlock woolly adelgid and emerald ash borer through our Hemlock and Ash Preservation Program.
Plant health care is about keeping a tree before you have to remove it. A certified arborist examines the tree for stress, pests, disease, and soil or root problems, then recommends what will actually help. Caught early, many problems are treatable. Caught late, the same tree is a removal.
Two pests do real damage to trees in our mountains, and we treat for both. Hemlock woolly adelgid is killing hemlocks across the region, and a hemlock caught in time is one of the more reliable trees to save. Emerald ash borer attacks ash trees, and ash is more of a wild card. We will treat an ash and we will be honest about the odds, because we would never want a treatment to leave you thinking a tree is safe when it may not be.
For owners who want their trees watched over time, the Preservation Program is a scheduled visit to check on the trees that matter to the property and treat what needs it. It is a way to stay ahead of trouble rather than react to it.
Mark is a certified arborist who examines the tree for pests, disease, and stress and identifies what is actually wrong.
You receive a free written assessment and honest options, including whether treatment is worth it.
We treat what can be helped and, for ongoing care, can schedule the tree into the Preservation Program.
Hemlock woolly adelgid and emerald ash borer are both established in Western North Carolina, which is why these are the two treatments most worth having here. Other pests are rare enough that treatment is seldom needed.
Timing matters with treatment, and the right window depends on the pest and the season, so an early call gives the best options.

Often, yes, if it is caught early. That is the whole point of plant health care. A thinning canopy or fungus at the base tells a trained eye a great deal, and acting early can be the difference between a treatment and a removal.
Yes. Hemlock woolly adelgid is killing hemlocks across the region, and a hemlock treated in time is one of the more dependable trees to save.
We treat ash trees, but ash is a wild card and we will be straight with you about the odds. We will never let a treatment leave you believing a tree is safe when it may not be.
A scheduled visit to check on the trees that matter to your property and treat what needs it, so problems are caught early. It is especially useful for owners who are not on the property year round.
