Tree Health Care
Plant Health Care and Pest Management Services are essential to home owners associations and homeowners with many young trees. In addition to proper pruning, fertilization or growth regulators may be needed to affect the growth or resilience of young trees.
Trees develop strength in their limbs and branches as a response to movement and stress from wind and gravity. Dynamic cabling systems allow movement in limbs while limiting excessive movement that may lead to failure of the limb. This type of cabling system is ideal if you have trees where growth habit or large limbs that create an unacceptable level of risk to your home or property.
Weight reduction pruning is always a part of our cabling services to you.

When trees exhibit severe structural defects or wounds, dynamic cabling systems may not be adequate. In the situations where constant support is needed, Steel Cables are recommended.
Compost teas and mycorizea may give a helpful boost to the health of your old mature trees when combined with air spade treatment for soil compaction relief.

Occationally, nutrient deficiencies do occur in soils where major grading has been done before planting. We can do soil and plant tissue nutrient analysis to check for specific mineral dificiencies. A majority of the time, problem soils lack biological activity. Here is Western North Carolina, we have rich native soil, however, construction often removes the humus and top soil to stabilize new home foundations. These soils benefit greatly from addition of organic compost fertilizers and compost teas.
