| The majority of tree health problems
are not directly caused by insects,
mites, fungi or bacteria. Rather,
70 to 90% of all problems result
from adverse cultural and
environmental conditions
like soil compaction,
drought, mechanical injuries,
or poor species selection.
These factors work together,
making a tree susceptible to
attack by insects, mites, fungi or bacteria.
Injection Treatments Before and After

| The presence of insects and disease on your trees and shrubs is more often a result of some other problem affecting your plants which is making them vulnerable to attack. In most situations, healthy, vigorous, well maintained plants are resistant to outbreaks of insects and disease.
Although some pests, (many non-native) attack healthy plants, it is more the exception to the rule. Many factors influence the presence of disease and pests in your landscape:
- Site Conditions
- Environmental Stress (Drought etc.)
- Past Pruning Practices
- Current Plant Health
- History of Pesticide Use
- Soil Conditions
- Watering Conditions
- Proximity of Other Species
Our Tree Health Management program includes a variety of management techniques to keep your plants healthy and vigorous and thus more resistant to pests and diseases.
We use organic treatments most of the time which means more safety for you, your family and your pets.
We incorporate safe, alternative chemical control methods into our Tree Health Management program.
We incorporate tree injection systems which eliminates exposure to your family and non target wildlife, unlike sprays and soil drenches that drift and kill non-target species, or seep into the soil and affect water supplies.
Insect and Disease Diagnosis
Suspect a problem but don't know what it is? Call us or send an email. We will come out for an assessment. If we can't diagnose it on the spot, we will send samples for a positive ID and report back to you with a positive identification and recommendations for control.
