Plant Health Care programs from root to crown
A good PHC program takes all of your trees and shrubs into account. The first step of the process is a detailed analysis of your property by one of our ISA Certified Arborists. We will identify all trees and shrubs, determine their ideal growing conditions, and then look at the conditions they are actually growing in and develop a plan to improve those conditions as much as possible. Some of the factors we look for are: nutrient availability, compacted soils, tree structure, and site suitability. We are also on the look out for insects and diseases affecting your trees and shrubs. Insects and diseases often times require a direct treatment in the short term, but can be more effectively controlled in the long term by improving the growing conditions and health of the plant. After we have reviewed the trees and shrubs on your property and determined their needs we will present this information to you in an easy to read report that will assist you in determining the approach you want to take in managing your trees and shrubs.
If you think your tree may have an insect or disease problem give us a call. We can identify the pathogen and give you options for treatment.
When people and trees live together there is going to be some level of risk involved. It takes years of experience and training to accurately determine the extent of that risk. We posses the experience and specialized equipment to asses the risk potential of your tree and provide you with recommendations for managing that risk.
Construction, installation of underground irrigation, or any other activity that disturbs the root system of your tree should be of concern to you and your trees. If contacted before the fact we can determine if the planned activity will be detrimental to your trees and advise you and your contractors what can be done to minimize or avoid the damage.
Heritage and Historic trees can be one of the greatest attributes of a community. Identifying, protecting, and preserving these important members of our community is one of the most rewarding services we are involved in.
The inventories we provide are customized to the needs of each client. If you have a large collection of trees and shrubs that you are responsible for managing an inventory is a valuable tool to assist in the prioritization of work to be done. Even if you are a home owner with a few trees, an inventory is useful to identify what you have and provide you with guidelines on how to care for it.
The presence of trees on a property undoubtedly adds to its value. Determining the value of a particular tree is a complex task that requires experience and specialized training. There are many factors to take into account as well as multiple methods for valuing trees. We take all of the factors for each tree, site, and circumstance into consideration when assessing the value of trees.
Determining the reason a tree failed after the fact can be a very challenging task. We are uniquely qualified with the knowledge and experience to investigate tree failures and present the findings in a comprehensive report. Our company has experience as an expert witness in a court of law.
Our staff is available to speak to garden clubs, schools and other community groups. Dave has made presentations on trees and soils and demonstrations of the supersonic air knife to arborist associations throughout the country.
We have a Lucas sawmill that allows us to turn even the largest tree into boards. Clients can request lumber made from their trees. Our office flooring is made from Lexington pin oaks that died from bacterial leaf scorch, and we have a small store of air dried lumber available for sale.
