For all their apparent simplicity, trees are remarkably complex. Determining what may be ailing a struggling sycamore or a weary ash is rarely straightforward. Tree health is shaped by local environmental conditions in many ways, and urban settings often lack resources trees need to thrive. When a tree never receives enough water, it remains under constant stress, making it more susceptible to pests and disease. Addressing the deeper causes of decline leads to better, longer-lasting results — and this is where Legacy Tree stands apart in both diagnostic depth and capability.
Your first visit from Legacy Tree will be conducted by one of our ISA Certified Arborists on the sales team. Each brings extensive experience in recognizing the subtle landscape cues that point to underlying problems. Supporting them — and taking the lead on more complex cases — is our ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, a regionally recognized expert in reading the clues that tell the full story of a tree’s condition.
We always begin by identifying opportunities to improve the overall resource profile of the landscape, because well-resourced trees are healthy trees. In addition to these improvements, accurately identifying pest insects and serious diseases is the foundation of any treatment we recommend. Our staff includes two former Horticulture Extension Agents from NMSU’s Bernalillo County Cooperative Extension Service, who together hold master’s degrees in Entomology and Botany. Their deep grounding in the natural sciences — combined with an Extension-based focus on practical solutions — gives Legacy Tree a distinct advantage when it comes to diagnosis.
While we are willing to use certain pesticides when appropriate, we do not apply chemistry to lost causes. Our commitment to sound Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices is strong, and we take time to educate clients about what is reasonable — and where boundaries should be drawn — when it comes to introducing toxins into the environment. For example, we do not treat insect-pollinated plants with systemic insecticides, even when such treatments might reduce a scale infestation. Instead, we recommend approaches that strengthen overall tree health, allowing pest pressure to decline without harming valuable insect allies
