Sick Tree question

We have a tree in our front lawn........a HUGE tree (I believe it's some type of maple), and I believe it is diseased......the leaves all look like they have little holes in them, the bark is constantly peeling off and it begins shedding HORRIBLY in June. Just last week, we raked 5 bags of leaves just from this one tree, and it's not even autumn yet.

Anyone know who I could call to find out information about whether or not the tree is diseased and how to cure it? Any idea of the cost of this? And how about pruning this tree......do you know how much something like that goes for?

Thanks!

Hey Marni ... I'm not really sure about where to go on this one ... maybe a local landscaper can come and take a look.

We had a dying tree in our backyard ... there were holes on the whole bark. Rob and my dad cut it down and pulled the roots out ... I don't know how they did it, but I was pretty impressed!

Good Luck!

Marni, I replied to this on NWR board - did you see my response? If not, I can re-post it here!
