What Arborist Services Include
Arborist services go beyond basic tree cutting. They involve evaluating tree health, structure, and site conditions to guide correct care decisions. An arborist looks at the whole picture, including species characteristics, age, soil conditions, exposure, and surrounding features.
Our arborist services include tree health assessments, structural evaluations, risk assessments, pruning recommendations, cabling and bracing guidance, and management planning. We also provide consultation related to tree disease, insect activity, and environmental stress.
These services help property owners understand what their trees need now and what they are likely to need in the future. With that information, decisions can be made confidently rather than reactively.


Arborist Guidance for Pruning and Structural Support
Proper pruning supports tree health, structure, and safety. Improper pruning can weaken trees, create entry points for disease, and increase risk over time.
Our arborist services guide pruning decisions based on species, age, and growth patterns. We focus on maintaining natural structure, improving clearance, and reducing stress rather than over thinning or shaping for appearance alone.
In cases where structural weaknesses exist, arborist guidance may include cabling or bracing. These systems provide supplemental support for limbs or unions that need reinforcement. When designed and installed correctly, they can significantly reduce failure risk.




Tree Disease and Insect Evaluation
Disease and insect activity are common concerns for property owners, but not every symptom requires aggressive treatment. Arborist evaluation helps determine what is actually affecting the tree and how serious the issue is.
We assess symptoms, identify likely causes, and recommend appropriate responses. This may include monitoring, targeted management, or coordination with pruning and irrigation adjustments.
By understanding the cause rather than just the symptom, arborist services help avoid unnecessary treatments and focus resources where they will be most effective.

ISA Certified Arborist Led Decision Making
Having an ISA Certified Arborist involved means recommendations are based on established standards and current best practices. Certification requires ongoing education and testing, which helps ensure that tree care decisions are informed and responsible.
At Wethington Landscape Management, arborist led decision making influences every tree related service. Instead of defaulting to removal or excessive pruning, we look for ways to preserve tree health and safety whenever possible.
This approach protects valuable trees and often reduces long term costs. When removal is necessary, it is recommended for clear, documented reasons related to risk or decline.


Residential Arborist Services
Homeowners often seek arborist services when they are unsure about a tree’s condition or safety. Whether a tree looks unhealthy, leans after a storm, or drops large limbs, professional evaluation provides clarity.
Residential arborist services offer peace of mind. Instead of guessing, homeowners receive clear explanations and practical recommendations tailored to their property and goals.
Tree Health Assessments
Tree health assessments are a core arborist service. Many tree problems develop slowly and are easy to miss without trained evaluation. Changes in leaf size, color, density, or growth patterns can indicate underlying stress.
During a health assessment, we examine canopy condition, trunk integrity, root zone health, and environmental factors. We also look for signs of disease, pest activity, or mechanical damage.
The goal is early detection. Addressing issues early improves outcomes and helps prevent irreversible decline. Health assessments are especially valuable for mature trees that represent a significant investment.




Tree Risk Assessment and Safety
Trees can pose a safety risk when structural defects or environmental pressures increase the likelihood of failure. In Amarillo, high winds make risk assessment particularly important.
Our arborist services include tree risk assessment to identify hazards such as weak branch unions, internal decay, root instability, or excessive lean. We evaluate how likely a failure is and what the potential impact could be.
Based on this assessment, we provide clear recommendations. These may include targeted pruning, cabling or bracing, monitoring, or removal when necessary. The goal is to reduce risk while preserving tree value whenever possible.
