Accurate Diagnosis. Targeted Treatment. Healthier Trees.

Tree & Plant Disease Treatment in Front Range, CO

Is Your Tree Showing Signs of Disease?

Tree diseases can spread quickly — and once symptoms appear, the clock starts ticking. Early detection is the difference between saving a tree and losing it. At Knothead Tree and Lawn Care, our ISA-Certified Arborists diagnose and treat tree diseases using science-based methods tailored to Colorado’s climate.

Whether you’re seeing unusual leaf color, thinning canopies, or fungal growth, our team provides clear answers and effective treatment plans to restore your landscape’s health.

Early Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Early detection makes all the difference in tree recovery. If you notice any of these symptoms, your tree may be fighting a disease:

  • Discolored, spotted, or curling leaves
  • Fungal growth on bark or roots
  • Sudden canopy thinning or premature leaf drop
  • Branch dieback starting at the tips
  • Oozing sap, open wounds, or bark splitting
  • Mushrooms or bracket fungi at the tree’s base

Not sure what you’re seeing? Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Our Tree Disease Diagnosis Process

We don’t guess, we diagnose. Our arborists use a structured, science-driven process to identify the root cause and recommend the right treatment.

One of our ISA-Certified Arborists in Front Range inspects your tree’s leaves, bark, and root system. We also check for signs of insect activity, environmental stress, or secondary infections.

If needed, we go deeper with soil testing. Poor drainage, soil compaction, and nutrient imbalances often make trees more vulnerable to disease. Understanding soil health ensures our treatments are long-lasting.

You’ll receive a written diagnosis outlining the issue, recommended treatments, and an upfront price estimate. No hidden fees. No unnecessary upsells.

Targeted Treatment Options

Every tree is different — and so is every disease. We tailor treatments to species, age, and severity. Depending on what we find, we may recommend:

  • Trunk Injections – Highly effective against internal fungal and bacterial infections like fire blight or Dutch elm disease.

  • Foliar Sprays – Controls surface-borne pathogens and certain insect-related problems.

  • Soil Amendments – Improve root zone health, drainage, and nutrient uptake.

  • Systemic Treatments – Long-lasting internal protection for vulnerable trees.

  • Cultural & Preventive Measures – Pruning for better airflow, watering schedules, and mulching strategies to strengthen natural defenses.

Our goal is always preservation first, we want to save healthy trees whenever possible.

The Knothead crew have helped me with a few tree trimmings this spring as well as tree limb removal from snow damage, even referring me to a stump grinder for a few dead bushes. They were respectful and efficient and actually showed up when they said they would! I would recommend their services ~ 5 stars!

Knothead Tree Care visited The Indian Park Schoolhouse and trimmed our huge old trees with care. They understood the need to trim the dead branches while still caring for the tree. They were fast, efficient, but most of all careful of the trees.

Greg, Garrett, and Alex from Knothead did really great work removing a large 40+ year-old foxtail pine that had succumbed to a faulty watering system and extreme drought conditions. They were remarkably efficient and cleaned up everything when the job was done. We will definitely use their services again--highly recommend.

I just had our trees sprayed for the second time, this company, and these people, Aaron and AJ, have saved my trees. We were told by another arborist that our trees were going to die, and there was nothing we could do about it. This company‘s arborist came out and told us what to do to save our trees, we did what he told us to do, and they did what they said they were going to do. And saved all our trees thanks again. Highly recommended. Also reasonably priced for the work they do.
