The result of a tree risk assessment can provide tree owners and risk managers with the information to make informed decisions to enhance tree benefits, health and longevity. EMERALD ASH BORER MANAGEMENT All species of ash trees are highly susceptible to infestation by the Emerald Ash Borer and require either a soil applied or trunk-injected insecticide treatment to prevent death from EAB. By the time an ash tree shows obvious symptoms of damage, it is usually too late to save the tree from EAB. However, preventive treatment can protect and save your ash tree. Treatment strategies are dependent on your tree, landscape and EAB infestation levels. We will develop a custom treatment strategy to manage EAB effectively. TREE INVENTORIES/ MANAGEMENT PLANS The first step to managing your trees is knowing what trees you have, and then developing a custom maintenance schedule for your tress with regard to individual growth patterns, age and current structure. • Tree Care Recommendations/Plant Health Care • Tree Preservation/Protecting Trees During Construction • Young Tree Structural Pruning • Forestry Services DIAGNOSIS OF TREE PROBLEMS AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS There are many insects, diseases and abiotic (nonliving) conditions that affect tree health. The first step to managing these tree problems is a correct diagnosis of the causal agent or condition. After the problem has been identified, we will write a detailed management plan to treat the present condition, increase the health of your tree and mitigate the effect that insects or disease have on your trees. TREE PROTECTION PLANS FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Often trees are damaged during construction, causing mortality within the next 5-15 years. A tree protection plan outlines the steps to take to ensure the trees you are building around remain a safe and healthy part of your landscape long after the construction is completed. SMALL TREE STRUCTURAL PRUNING Designed for newly planted shade trees, annual pruning allows us to keep on top of your trees structural development in those formative years. Through very specific structural pruning for the first five to seven years we can reduce future maintenance cost and increase the life span of your trees.
