Owned and operated by an independent, ISA-certified arborist. I believe the health, beauty, and productivity of your landscape can be most cost-effectively sustained using natural and nontoxic methods of pest and disease control first and foremost. I research the least harmful, most effective treatments possible and employ preventative cultural techniques and OMRI-listed organic pesticides, fungic
ides, and bioinsecticides for control. I have a responsibility as a caretaker of plants to recognize that landscapes are not isolated from each other, but are parts of an interconnected ecosystem, and by employing the least-toxic methods possible we can preserve the beauty of our landscapes while protecting the health of our families and neighbors. It is said that the best fertilizer is the gardener's shadow; similarly, the best pest and disease control is achieved by a monitoring, prevention, and treatment program implemented by a certified Arborist and Integrated Pest Management specialist. The core of our plant health care program is personalized monthly monitoring and the application of preventative controls:
Inspection – Entire landscape carefully inspected each month for insect pests, disease problems, noxious w**ds, and deer damage. Identification – Insect pests and diseases identified and populations / extent of disease monitored. Pruning – Diseased or heavily insect-damaged areas of plants pruned out to prevent spread of condition. Spray – Vulnerable plants treated with botanical insecticides / miticides / fungicides to control pest and disease build-up while having minimal impact on beneficial insects. W**d Treatment – Poison ivy and other requested noxious w**ds treated with organic W**d-B-Gone each month. I will keep your property poison-ivy-free all season. Deer Treatment – Deer-damaged or deer-susceptible plants treated with non-toxic deer repellant each month as necessary. Report – Observations, treatments performed reported and any recommendations for further care made. Additional Services:
Fine pruning and removal of trees and shrubs. Tree trunk injections to prevent Emerald Ash Borer, Sycamore Anthracnose, and Dutch Elm Disease, Oak Wilt, etc. Tree trunk sprays to prevent wood-boring insects and bark disease. Systemic treatments of trees and shrubs to cure severe insect infestations and prevent future ones, e.g. Large-scale poison ivy and w**d treatments. Tick and ant treatments.
