How we work
How We Assess Tree Health in Western New York
Tree health is complex. What looks like a dying tree may be treatable. What looks healthy may be silently failing from below grade. Our assessment process covers the whole tree — canopy, bark, root zone, soil, and structure.
What a Tree Health Assessment Covers
Western New York's tree population is diverse — and under increasing pressure from invasive pests and decades of urban growth. The region's mature canopy includes large populations of ash, oak, maple, elm, and cherry across Buffalo, Amherst, Cheektowaga, and surrounding communities. Emerald Ash Borer has already devastated ash trees throughout the Buffalo metro area, and the threat to remaining trees continues. Our assessments take local species, soil conditions, and regional pest pressures into account — not just what's visible from a curbside glance.
A complete assessment reviews the tree from crown to root collar. We evaluate canopy density and dieback, bark condition (cracks, cankers, fungal growth), trunk lean and structural integrity, root flare and visible root damage, and soil conditions including compaction and drainage. We also consider the tree's history — construction activity, recent storms, or past pruning that might explain its current condition.
Common Tree Health Issues in Buffalo, NY
Western New York trees face a range of common threats. Emerald Ash Borer has decimated ash trees across the Buffalo region. Dutch elm disease, oak wilt, verticillium wilt, and various canker diseases affect other species regularly. Soil compaction from construction and foot traffic stresses roots. Late spring frosts damage new growth. Our assessments identify which problems are present and which are manageable.
- Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) assessment for ash trees
- Fungal and canker disease identification
- Root damage from construction or soil compaction
- Frost damage and late-season dieback
- Structural failures from co-dominant stems
- Girdling roots — a common but overlooked cause of decline
When to Remove vs. When to Save
Not every sick tree needs to come down — and not every sick tree can be saved. We give you an honest assessment with real options. Some trees are good candidates for treatment, corrective pruning, or cabling. Others have progressed too far or pose too much risk to justify keeping. We'll tell you which is which, and we won't push removal if there's a reasonable path to recovery.
Common situations
When to Call for a Tree Health Assessment
These are the signs Buffalo homeowners see before calling us for an assessment. Don't wait — early identification usually means more options.
- Leaves browning, yellowing, or wilting out of season
- Significant dieback in the crown
- Unusual growths, fungal bodies, or weeping sap
- Cracks in the trunk or main scaffold branches
- Visible root damage after construction or excavation
- Tree leaning more than it used to
- Bark peeling or falling away in large sections
- Buying a new home and want to know your trees' condition

I had two small dead trees in my backyard, one of which had snapped at the base and was leaning against a healthy tree and my neighbor’s fence. It was a situation I didn’t feel comfortable handling myself, so I reached out to Buffalo Tree Soldiers. Roy responded quickly and came out the very same morning to assess the job. After inspecting the trees, he offered to take care of everything that same day. I was extremely happy to have the issue resolved so quickly and professionally.

The crew handled the entire removal with incredible precision, keeping my property and my neighbor's property completely damage-free.
