Protect your investment.

Our holistic approach to Plant Health Care ensures that we are providing our clients with healthy, vibrant landscapes. Our program starts from the ground up with soil testing and analysis which determines the pH level, nutrient content and other factors that affect plant growth. From there, our team can recommend organic amendments like biochar or mycorrhizae, organic fertilizers such as UpCycle, and micronutrient supplements to improve the quality and health of your soil.

 

What we do

Our holistic approach.

  • Tree Care

    Our program takes a proactive approach to managing tree health and addresses potential issues before they become major problems. We promote regenerative, environmentally responsible practices that prioritize the health and vitality of the trees while minimizing the use of chemicals. Our services include: deep root fertilization and watering, compost tea application, & fruit tree reduction.
  • Fireblight Protection

    Fireblight is a highly contagious bacterial disease that affects certain species of fruit trees, particularly apple & pear. We use protection measures to mitigate and prevent the spread of the disease to other trees. Our expert team takes into account the severity of the disease, local regulations, and the specific tree species affected to ensure the issue is handled properly.
  • Pre & Post Emergent weed control

    We use two different methods to manage weeds. Our expert team chooses the appropriate weed control method based on the specific weed species, the type of vegetation being managed, environmental considerations, safety and cost-effectiveness.
  • Gopher & Mole Control

    These little creatures can cause damage to lawns, gardens and other landscaped areas. Our Integrated Pest Management program takes a holistic approach that combines different control methods to manage pests effectively while minimizing risks to human health and the environment.
  • Tussock Moth Prevention & Treatment

    These moths can cause defoliation and damage to trees & shrubs on your property, particularly in their caterpillar stage. We use a variety of methods for prevention and treatment: pruning and maintenance, biological/chemical/mechanical controls, monitoring, and tree banding. Monitoring and early intervention can keep the infestation from spreading.
  • Organic Soil Amendments

    These are often used in combination with each other to provide a balanced and diverse source of nutrients and organic matter to the soil. We use a variety of organic fertilizers, composts, and mulches. Our team of experts will recommend application rates and guidelines to ensure they are used effectively and sustainably.
  • Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

    Our team identifies and treats pests and diseases using an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests through biological controls, habitat manipulation, beneficial insects and the use of resistant plant varieties. Chemicals are only used after monitoring indicates that they are needed. Materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks for human health, pets and the environment.
