Preventative Treatments
Protect your trees from invasive species with preventative treatments.
These pests have caused the death of millions of trees. As the owner, you’re left with the hefty cost to remove and dispose of your dead or dying trees. We can help you prevent:
- Emerald Ash Borer (Ash Trees)
- Two-Lined Chestnut Borer (Oaks)
- Bronze Birch Borer (Birch)
- Pine Bark Beetle (Pines)
Fungal Treatments
Fungal Foliar Diseases affect a wide variety of tree species. Fungal pathogens are unique to each species, so a proper diagnosis is vital. We’re trained at identifying tree diseases and recommending an effective treatment. Fungal diseases must be treated annually to ensure the long-term health of your trees. We can help with:
- Apple Scab (Crabapples)
- Rhizosphaera Needle Cast (Spruce)
- Diplodia Shoot Blight (Pines)
Vascular Wilt Diseases
Vascular Wilt Diseases for Oaks and Elms are an ongoing issue for our most prized canopy trees. We are dedicated to positively identifying each case, and providing the highest level of care. Treatments must be performed bi-annually to ensure ongoing health.
- Oak Wilt (Oaks)
- Dutch Elm Disease (Elms)
Japanese Beetle Treatments
Japanese Beetles are a destructive mid-summer pest with a metallic green head and brown wings. They feed on the leaves of Elms, Lindens, Crabapples, Birch and Mountain Ash trees.
It is important to treat for Japanese Beetles BEFORE you see them! Give us a call in May or June to get your treatment scheduled.
Our mission is to be as environmentally conscious as possible, while providing excellent control. The product we use has no known risks to other beneficial organisms like pollinators and birds.
Fertilization
We offer a liquid soil-applied fertilizer with a unique blend of minerals, seaweed extract, humates, surfactants and humectants. This formula helps with root development, water stress management, transplant success, nutrient deficiencies, and summer stress.
We also include a soil amendment treatment of activated BioChar. This combination improves the soil by providing more space for food, water, and air. It also helps the fertilizer bond to the soil to prevent leaching.
Plant Growth Regulators
There is growing scientific evidence about the benefits of Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) treatments. PGR reduces canopy growth, and redirects some of the tree’s energy into better natural defense chemicals and fibrous root development. This results in a healthier and heartier tree.

I was looking for someone to treat my Ash trees. They responded in a timely manner to come over to give me an estimate and then do the treatment for my trees. I was really happy that they were so prompt and they did a great job. I really appreciated that. I’m very happy the trees have been treated.

They didn’t try to sell me services I didn’t need.
They had two employees come out; it was roughly three hours to complete. They did the job at a fair price. They didn’t try to sell me services I didn’t need. You will get a good price and they are good to work with.
