Diagnosis: First, our team of experienced arborists identifies the signs of infestation or disease. This could involve looking for visible insects, spotting unusual leaf discoloration or deformation, or noticing bark abnormalities.
Identification: We then work to accurately identify the specific pest or disease affecting the tree. This is crucial as different pests and diseases require unique treatment approaches.
Treatment Planning: Once we’ve identified the issue, we formulate a tailored treatment plan. This might involve specific pesticides for insect infestations or particular fungicides for diseases, always with an emphasis on environmentally friendly options when available.
Application: Our team then applies the treatment in a manner that is safe for the tree, the surrounding plants, and the environment. This might involve soil injections, trunk injections, sprays, or the use of beneficial insects to combat harmful ones.
Monitoring: After treatment, we continue to monitor the tree’s health, ensuring the effectiveness of our intervention and making adjustments as needed.
