Wait! Why Plant Health Care not Tree Health Care?

YES, that’s right! Its not all about the trees. Even though they are the dominant ornamental feature on your property, they share this habitat with shrubs, and other plants. The soil is the common life force to both plants and trees. The roots of a mature tree can extend far and wide into your flower beds. Therefore any treatment must address the environment as a whole. Understanding this key factor, it is clear that every treatment applied to the trees, such as pruning and fertilizing can impact the vitality and appearance of your underlying plants and shrubs. This also works conversely. Applied treatments must take this into consideration in any plan. Our goal is simple: A cohesive plan for your entire property!
