Protect and Preserve Your Ash Trees With Northern Utah’s Trusted & Certified Consulting Arborists
EAB is spreading fast through surrounding states and approaching Utah. Your ash trees have a narrow window for protection. TreeMendus Arbor Care has been preparing for this threat for years while others are just learning about it.
We follow the best management practices we've studied for years - and when you start prevention before EAB gets in your tree, it works. Period.
While others are learning about this threat, we’ve been developing EAB prevention strategies for years, studying protocols from affected states to protect Utah’s ash trees.
Get comprehensive ash tree assessment and prioritized treatment plans for large residential and commercial properties with extensive ash populations.
The emerald ash borer (EAB) is an invasive wood-boring insect that is considered to be one of the most destructive forest insects ever to invade the U.S. Native to parts of Asia, EAB was first discovered in North America in June 2002 near Detroit, Michigan.
The larvae of the Agrilus planipennis are the damaging life stage, because they feed on the vascular tissues of ash trees and eventually cause tree death, typically killing small trees within 1-2 years and large trees within 3-4 years of infestation.
By the time we can find EAB in your tree’s trunk, it’s already been feeding for 2-4 years. The tree is too far gone for treatment. That’s why prevention isn’t just recommended—it’s the ONLY option that works.
According to research from Utah State University’s Plant Health Extension, EAB has been identified in nearly 40 states and five Canadian provinces, killing tens of millions of ash trees. and five ash tree species being classified as critically endangered.
EAB attacks all true ash species and spreads primarily through human transport of infested wood materials, making early detection and prevention critical for protecting Utah’s ash trees.
As EAB approaches Utah from surrounding states, TreeMendus Arbor Care is the state’s most prepared consulting arborist team for this unprecedented threat. Utah’s urban canopy is 60-75% ash trees. When EAB reaches Utah, we’re not just losing individual trees—we’re watching an entire species go extinct in our lifetime. This makes Utah’s EAB threat unlike anything we’ve faced before.
TreeMendus Arbor Care works directly with the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food as part of the EAB task force, preparing for this pest’s arrival while others remain unaware of the threat. For years we’ve studied EAB management in affected states, developed Utah-specific prevention protocols, and established treatment supply chains while other tree services were unaware of the coming crisis.

Utah property owners have an immediate decision to make: start prevention treatment now or lose their ash trees in 2-4 years. EAB has killed over 50 million trees across North America with devastating consistency and no ash tree survives without treatment. The difference between communities that preserved their ash trees and those that lost them entirely came down to one factor: how quickly they started prevention programs after detection.
Our ash borer treatment protocol is proactive protection. We provide comprehensive ash tree assessment, risk-based treatment prioritization and proven systemic insecticide protocols that offer near perfect protection when applied before infestation. This “prevention over reaction” approach has allowed us to prepare Utah’s most valuable properties for EAB’s arrival while building relationships with discerning owners who value expertise over emergency responses.
We’re craftsmen, not just tree services. This isn’t about making money—it’s about preserving Utah’s canopy with the same passion you’d protect your family. We don’t just apply chemicals; we become stewards of your trees. Our specialized EAB knowledge and education-first consulting make us the clear choice for Utah’s most valuable ash tree populations.

Professional evaluation of potential ash tree failures as EAB spreads, providing liability documentation and safety recommendations for property protection.
Our assessments are performed exclusively by ISA-certified arborists who have studied this pest for years. We never delegate your tree’s safety to sales reps. You receive a professional protection plan with the documentation needed for long-term estate management and insurance standards.
We respond to all inquiries within 24 hours and complete on-site risk evaluations within one week. If you suspect an active infestation, we provide immediate priority to save your trees before they reach the point of no return.
We believe in total transparency. Our EAB prevention fees are presented upfront with no hidden surcharges. Every proposal includes detailed pricing per inch of trunk diameter, helping you compare the affordable cost of prevention against the high price of tree removal.
If our treatment protocols don’t meet the high standards we promised, we’ll take immediate action to address it. We aren't here for a one-time spray; we are committed to being your long-term partner in saving Utah’s ash canopy through results and trust.
Our ISA certified arborist will conduct a thorough evaluation of all ash trees on your property, documenting species, health status, size and location to develop a protection strategy. We’ll perform basic diagnostic techniques on as many trees as we can – not just the ones you’re worried about, because a green tree doesn’t tell us everything about its health.
You’ll spend a full hour learning about EAB biology, Utah’s timeline, and tree physiology specific to your property. Bring a notebook—this isn’t a sales pitch, it’s a masterclass in tree care. We’ll explain why your maintenance practices matter more than any treatment we provide, plus give you cost analysis comparing prevention to removal and replacement expenses.
You’ll receive a detailed management strategy with treatment schedules prioritized by tree value and budget. For large estates, we help you focus resources on your most important specimens while planning long-term canopy management.

EAB larvae bore through ash trees’ vascular system completely disrupting water and nutrient flow. Unlike other pests that may weaken trees over years EAB kills healthy ash trees in 2-4 years with near perfect consistency. EAB not only kills trees quick but they also compromise the structural integrity of the wood creating extremely hazardous situations for homeowners and the general public. No North American ash species has natural resistance.
Prevention treatment with emamectin benzoate is near perfect when applied before EAB infestation. Treatment should start immediately when EAB is detected in surrounding areas—waiting for local detection means it’s already too late.
Our full assessment includes ash tree identification and mapping, individual tree health evaluation, treatment priority ranking based on tree value and location, cost analysis comparing prevention to removal/replacement and customized protection scheduling for your property.
Prevention treatment is $15-25 per inch of trunk diameter every 2-3 years. A 20 inch ash tree costs $400-500 for prevention versus $5,000+ for removal and replacement making prevention 90% less expensive than losing the tree.
Treatment success depends on infestation severity. Early stage infestations may respond to intensive treatment but success rates drop dramatically once symptoms appear. Prevention before infestation is far more effective and cost efficient than treating infected trees.
We help prioritize treatment based on tree value, health and strategic importance to your property. Not every ash tree needs immediate treatment—we develop phased protection plans that focus resources on your most valuable specimens while planning long term canopy management strategies.
We service properties across Northern Utah, including Salt Lake City, Davis County, Weber County, Summit County, Ogden, Morgan County and the Ogden Valley.
