ARBORICULTURE AND WOODLOT MANAGEMENT

Plant health care assessments and prescriptions for treatment:
The best way to ensure optimum health, sound structure, and longevity is to adopt a total plant health care approach. Our treatment recommendations are based on analysis of the site and individual tree conditions.

Pest management:
Treatments to manage harmful insects, diseases, and non-infectious disorders. Our preference is to use a holistic approach to manage tree pests. Spraying is recommended only when essential.

Standard Pruning:
Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance pruning for optimum tree health and strong structure. This includes:

  • removal of dead, broken, weak, crowded, or rubbing branches;
  • stubs;
  • clearance from adjacent features like buildings and light fixtures;
  • light thinning where necessary for sunlight, fresh air, and rain penetration to the inside of the crown.

Specialty Pruning:

•  crown (size) reduction
•  young tree training
•  training for special effect (espalier)
