Fertilization & Soil Management

Healthy soil is the foundation of a thriving landscape. We offer fertilization and soil management services to ensure your trees and shrubs receive the nutrients they need. Our customized fertilization plans promote robust growth and resilience. Our Port City arborist will pick out the right soil management program that is needed for your trees and shrubs on the initial visit. Over time this program will evolve based on the health performance of your trees and shrubs in tandem with our ever-evolving climate.

Insect, Mites & Disease Control

Pathogens can damage trees and shrubs. Our pest management includes monitoring, early detection, boosting plant immune systems, and targeted treatments to control infections. We aim to minimize pesticide use and improve plant health by enhancing soil structure.

Tree Health Assessment

Our arborists conduct thorough health assessments to identify any issues affecting your trees. We diagnose problems such as pest infestations, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies and provide appropriate treatments. In addition to assessing the overall health we offer qualitative tree risk assessments.

Root Zone Excavation

Different root zone excavations can be done based on the site history and planting needs. The main aim is to remove excess soil and reduce compaction for better root growth and soil aeration. If roots are not visible, the tree may be planted too deeply, needing immediate soil removal to prevent girdling roots, which can kill trees prematurely. Root pruning may be necessary for girdling roots depending on their size. Excavations can be performed before construction to avoid tearing roots and after construction to relieve compaction. Speak with our arborist to see if a root zone excavation is right for your tree.

Pre-Construction Consultation

Consult an arborist to plan for tree protection or removal before construction. Home additions can meet your family's needs. Discuss with a local arborist about trees near your construction site. Remove those too close to the project, and take measures to protect trees that can be saved.
