Tree Care.
Although we don’t trim or remove trees, we do offer
an array of unique tree care services that help them
to recover from the stresses of drought,
construction injury, or other environmental problems
if diagnosed early on. We recommend having your
trees inspected annually to evaluate any changes in
their health. Trees that die this year were in some
way damaged or became stressed in past years and
never recovered from that stress. Most of our
services have a direct relationship with the root
system to insure a strong healthy tree and help
trees recover from any man made or environmental
stresses.
Fertilization of trees is important, especially in
urban settings, to insure a strong healthy tree.
However, improper fertilizing may not help at all and
even effect the tree in a negative manner. Soil
conditions should be evaluated before any
fertilizing is done.

Deep root feeding trees with organic products and
“Bio- fertilizing” with Mycorrhizae fungi. We
believe this to be the most effective way to feed
and maintain trees as well as part of a program to
help them recover from damage done due to drought or
any type of construction within the root zone of
your trees. |

For damaged or stressed trees we also offer Vertical
Mulching. This process is used on compacted soils
and involves drilling vertical holes on a grid,
adding wet organic products with allowing that to soak in, adding more organic
materials and Mycorrhizae fungi in a dry form, and
again filling with wet organics before covering over
the holes. On a large tree this process can involve
drilling over 400 holes from 4" to 12" deep.

Micro- Injection is a process of direct injecting
insecticides, fungicides, fertilizer, or
combinations of them into trees without the danger
of chemical drift from spraying high into a large
tree. The tree is treated as needed without
releasing any chemicals into the open environment as
they never leave the interior of the tree. By
injecting instead of spraying, the treated tree is
protected for at least a full season
of control for disease and insect problems. More
effective, lower cost, and environmentally friendly
make injection the smart move. |

The tree on the left was but one of six hit by a
dozer or backhoe while this lot was being cleared.
The life of this tree has been substantially
shortened and my client will need to have it removed
in only a few years and at substantial cost. The
tree on the right, was one of several also damaged
by a careless equipment operator. It will eventually
heal over with care. Mistakes will happen but there
is no other reason other
than carelessness for the amount of damage we see
done to landscape trees. |

The tree on the left was “topped” and will
eventually have to be removed - along with four
others that were topped on this property. Utility
lines were not a factor when these trees were
topped. The tree on the right had it’s root zone
covered with piles of soil for several months and
was also parked under for the shade by construction
workers that resulted in severe soil compaction in
the root zone. We were able to save this and another
tree by moving the piles away from the root zones
and vertical mulch them. |

Ken and Jo,
Thank you very much for the top quality work you did
when you prepared and hydroseeded our yard. We now
understand why our neighbor so enthusiastically
recommended you. Our lawn has gone from crabgrass
and weeds to a really nice looking lawn in record
time. - Ron and Carol |
