White, red and post oaks are the backbone of Middle Tennessee yards. They live for centuries with the right care and the right timing.
Oaks are long-lived, valuable and slow to replace. A big white oak can be hundreds of years old and shade a whole yard. They are also sensitive to soil changes, root damage and the diseases that move through wounds.
Oak care starts with protection. Keep construction and soil changes away from the roots, prune only when necessary and at the right time, and watch for signs of oak wilt and borers. A Certified Arborist can advise on timing, structure and long-term care.
