Tree Treatments in Andrews, TX

Andrews trees grow in sandy, alkaline soil, often over caliche, with long hot summers, steady wind and watering that is easy to shortchange on a working town lot. Shade trees that go into summer already thin are the ones borers, bark beetles, mites and disease go after. Tejas Pest & Weed Control treats trees for Andrews homes and commercial properties, alongside our pest control, weed control and lawn care. We're licensed through the Texas Department of Agriculture (TPCL 0791384) and have been working West Texas since 2018.

Our Andrews yard is at 2184 SE 2460, Andrews, TX 79714. It's a working yard, not a storefront, so call or text before you stop by: 432-934-5248 · office@tejaspwc.com.

What Andrews Soil, Heat and Wind Do to Trees

Most tree trouble here starts with stress, not with a pest:

• Sandy soil and caliche: sand drains fast, and caliche can keep roots in a shallow band that dries out quickly.

• Heat and wind: wind pulls moisture out of leaves, so scorched edges and a thin upper canopy are common by late summer.

• Alkaline soil and iron chlorosis: high-pH soil can lock up iron and other micronutrients. Leaves turn yellow while the veins stay green.

Common Tree Problems in Andrews

• Borers on elms, oaks and ash: look for sawdust, small holes or oozing sap on stressed trunks and limbs.

• Bark beetles on pines: drought-stressed Afghan (Eldarica) and other landscape pines can draw pine engraver beetles. Watch for pitch tubes, boring dust and needles fading at the top.

• Mites and scale: dusty or stippled leaves, fine webbing, sticky honeydew or bumps on twigs.

• Pecans: heavy feeders that often show nutrient problems in alkaline soil.

• Mesquite: tough in drought, but stressed mesquite can still get borers and branch dieback.

Tree Treatments We Offer in Andrews

We look at the trunk, limbs, leaves and root zone first and explain what we see. Depending on the tree, treatment can include:

• Trunk injections: small capsules at the base of the trunk feed treatment into the tree's water flow, with no spray drift.

• Soil injections: deep-root treatment placed where roots can reach it, even in compacted soil.

• Wood borer treatment for stressed shade trees and pines.

• Mite treatments for speckled, dusty or bronzed leaves.

• Disease and fungus treatments for leaf spots, cankers and dieback.

• Malnutrition support for yellowing leaves.

• Foliar and systemic treatments, including canopy spray when leaf pests are active.

Not every declining tree can be saved; treatments work best while a tree is still alive and defending itself, so earlier is better. More on our Tree Services page.

Fall and Spring Timing

Injected and soil treatments move through a tree with water. In late fall, while leaves are still on and before a hard freeze, the tree can still take treatment up; once it's dormant, uptake slows way down. Spring, after leaf-out, is the other main window.

Watering Trees in Andrews

Roots spread past the branch tips, and short lawn watering rarely reaches them. On allowed days, slow, deep watering at the drip line works best. Please check current watering rules from the City of Andrews or your water provider. Keep mulch a few inches off the trunk.
