Plant Health Care Keeps Trees Vigorous, Pest-free and Safe
Plant health care (PHC) practices are important for the preservation, longevity, safety and aesthetics of your trees and shrubs.
PHC includes both the diagnosis of specific insect infestations and diseases, and development of treatment programs to either maintain acceptable pest levels or eliminate damaging infections and infestations.
- Fertilization programs provide the macro- and micro-nutrients trees and shrubs need to thrive in stressful urban and suburban settings. Healthy, vigorous trees are better able to withstand storm damage and naturally fight off insect infestations and fungal infections.
- Soil testing and nutrient deficiency diagnosis guide the customized application of organic soil enhancements, nutrients, and soil pH-balancing compounds.
- Integrated insect pest management programs treat and control insect infestations such as bag worms, Emerald Ash Borer, mites, scale, aphids, and certain beetles and borers before they reach levels that adversely affect tree health.
- Disease and infection diagnosis and treatment programs customized to your trees’ specific needs. We take time to spot-spray only where needed to minimize the impact on beneficial insects, organisms, and the environment. We broadcast spray only when necessary.
