Plant Care
Trees require certain nutrients to maintain growth and to stay healthy. These nutrients are normally found on the forest floor through the decay of leaves, animals and water. In landscape environments, however, fertilizer is needed to take the place of this natural food source.
Fertilization
Quality Care for Your Trees Well-nourished trees and shrubs have better resistance to disease, insect attack and drought. Our certified applicators give your trees and shrubs the nutrients they need for optimum health and plant development. We use various applications of spray, injections fertilizations or other treatments to reduce insect populations or prevent various diseases and promote better plant health and tree health through selective pruning, site preparation or other methods.
Pesticides / Fungicides / Antibiotics
Trees that become weak and stressed will become victims of tree diseases and insect infestations, and ultimately death. The combination of all three usually kills trees. Insects can cause considerable damage leaving the plants looking unsightly and can even kill them. Many insects defoliate trees, reducing the ability of trees to produce food, sucking out tree sap, retarding growth, carrying pathogens and paving the way for disease. Our goal is to save your trees and to heal them without hurting other living plants and animals and people around the tree.
