Tree Health, Fertilization & Cabling in Great Falls: What to Know
- Hemlocks: Fairfax County says its hemlocks grow mostly along the Potomac and Occoquan rivers. Hemlocks infested with hemlock woolly adelgid can die within 4 to 10 years.
- Beech: beech leaf disease shows as dark green stripes between leaf veins. Beech roots are shallow, so mulch, drought watering and no soil compaction help.
- Ash: emerald ash borer is in Fairfax County, and infested ash typically die in about 3 years. Dead ash can turn hazardous, so have them checked early.
- Spotted lanternfly became established over most of the county in 2023.

Yes, and the sooner the better. Fairfax County says its hemlocks grow mostly along the Potomac and Occoquan rivers, and infested trees can die within 4 to 10 years. Start with a complimentary visual health assessment. We offer integrated pest management with safe, targeted, science-based treatments, including organic options.
Dark green stripes between the leaf veins, often seen first on young trees and low branches. Fairfax County says there is no proven treatment in forests. Yard beech do better with mulch, water during droughts, and roots kept safe from mowers and soil compaction.
Yes. Tree fertilization and deep-root feeding are part of our plant health care, with organic soil care options. We test first: we work with the most advanced local labs for soil sampling and foliar (leaf) analysis, then write a custom treatment plan. Fairfax County’s plan says Great Falls has many large and old trees, and feeding them right helps them handle drought, pests and storms.
Often, yes, when a large tree has weak branch unions, multiple trunks, storm damage or heavy limbs over your home. Those trees may benefit from tree cabling and bracing, which helps you keep a valuable Heritage Tree instead of losing it. Our ISA Certified Arborists can inspect your trees and recommend the right solution.
When installed correctly, tree cabling systems do not harm the tree. They provide structural support while letting the tree grow naturally. We recommend annual inspections of all crown support systems to ensure safety, performance, and proper adjustment as the tree grows.
Yes. Our team uses specialized equipment and follows ANSI A300 standards to safely install cabling in large trees, even in tight spaces. We serve homeowners, HOAs, commercial properties, and government sites in Great Falls and throughout Fairfax, McLean, Ashburn, and surrounding areas.
