Arborsmith Optimal Tree Health Solution™
The increasing stresses caused by our global economy and urban and suburban living create real challenges for our trees. Most tree and shrub disease or insect attacks can be prevented by maintaining good plant health. This is our top priority with our Healthy Tree BuilderTM. When controls for attacking insects or diseases become necessary, we research and utilize the least toxic or non-toxic alternatives for pest and disease control or prevention.
Shrub Maintenance
Proper shrub maintenance is an art that is being lost to hedge shears. We shine in the art of horticulturally correct shrub rejuvenation and renewal. We regularly conduct classes on proper shrub maintenance for professionals and homeowners alike. Before you replace an overgrown hedge or bush, call us for a review and insight as to how to correctly rejuvenate your hedges or shrubs.
Wisdom From the Trees™
Wisdom From the Trees™ is our monthly e-newsletter sometimes featuring a tree of the month and other timely topics of a practical nature for our busy clients.
Tree Trimming and Pruning
Certified arborists prune to develop the long term strength, health and beauty of a tree. “Proper trimming is one of the best things we can do for our trees” says the late Dr. Al Shigo, the US Forest Service’s father of modern arboriculture, but “improper trimming is one of the worst things you can do for your trees. Be certain that you are not paying money to harm your trees.” Let us teach you how to identify proper tree and shrub trimming techniques, so you can protect your beautiful legacy of trees.
Tree Preservation and Design Phase Tree Selection
Are you planning a new addition or landscape for your home? We excel in collaborative work with landscape architects, architects, contractors and building managers. Allow us to help you and your design professionals preserve your existing trees and select new varieties for maximum effect.
Mulching Magic
Mulching is the single most effective preventative care that you can provide for your trees. It is more effective than fertilizing, trimming or spraying for the long term health of most trees. This is because the stresses on trees in urban or suburban environments can be mitigated by replacing lawn with mulch. This one thing has been proven to increase tree root volume by as much as 195%. Fertilizing helps a tree compensate for being removed from its native woodland environment and its normal nutrient cycle.
Arborsmith Abstracts™
Our Arborsmith Abstracts™ are the accumulated wisdom of over 60 years of experience and education in the practical care of trees. They are information sheets giving brief, easy to read solutions to common tree problems.
