Why an Expert Arborist Matters in Matthews

Matthews sits in Mecklenburg County and carries some of the more established tree canopy in the metro, a mix of decades old willow oaks and water oaks that ring the town’s older neighborhoods. Age is an asset for shade and property value, but it also means more of these trees are carrying the kind of interior decay that never shows on the outside until a storm finds the weak point. An experienced arborist checks for that decay directly, not just for obvious dead wood.

Matthews sits on the same slow draining Piedmont clay as the rest of the county, and mature trees here have often spent years with roots sitting in compacted, saturated ground after heavy rain. That slow stress is part of why we recommend a real risk assessment rather than a quick visual before removing or heavily pruning an older tree. We produce written tree risk assessments using TRAQ methodology, accepted by HOAs, insurance carriers, and legal counsel, and carry the insurance that matters.

Matthews’s Tree Challenges

The town’s mature willow and water oaks are where we most often find oak decline and hypoxylon canker, a fungal problem that can hollow a trunk or major limb well before any external symptom appears. Older pines scattered through Matthews’s wooded lots are also vulnerable to southern pine beetle, especially in dry stretches when trees have less sap pressure to push the beetle out.

Dogwood anthracnose shows up in the shaded understory dogwoods common under Matthews’s bigger canopy trees, thinning branches from the bottom of the tree upward. Summer thunderstorms and the occasional remnant hurricane are the main storm risks here, and on a mature tree with any existing decay, that wind load is what finally brings a limb down. An expert arborist reads the cause, not just the symptom, before any saw fires up.

Don't see your question? Call us. Every call is answered by a human arborist, day or night.

Do you serve Matthews, NC?

How fast can an arborist get to my property?
Most estimate visits happen within 24 hours, and storm emergencies get a crew on site the same day. We answer the phone around the clock, not a call center.
Why does Matthews seem to have more large, old trees than newer parts of Charlotte?
Matthews grew up around an established town center well before much of the surrounding metro, so many lots still carry decades old oaks and maples that newer subdivisions never had time to grow.
What tree problems are most common here?
In Matthews the ones we see most are oak decline and hypoxylon canker in mature oaks, southern pine beetle in stressed pines, and dogwood anthracnose. An arborist can tell you which apply to your specific trees.
Do you provide documentation for my HOA or insurer?
Yes. We provide written, signed tree risk assessments using TRAQ methodology, accepted by HOAs, insurance carriers, and legal counsel.
