Tree Health Care
While trees are dominant features in your home landscape, they share this area with grasses, shrubs, and other plants. These plants are bedded in a common resource: soil. The roots of trees, shrubs, turf grass, and bedding plants comingle and compete for water and nutrients. The roots of a single mature tree may extend well into your lawn or flower beds. Every treatment applied to the lawn (fertilizer and herbicide, for example) can impact the appearance and vitality of a tree. Conversely, treatments applied to a tree, such as pruning and fertilizing, can influence the appearance and vitality of the underlying turf grass. The care of each plant in a landscape can affect the health of every plant in that landscape.

Why Contact Us?
We have the experience and training to detect many potential tree and shrub problems before they become life-threatening or hazardous. Arborists can also make tree and shrub recommendations, such as species selection and placement, to prevent problems from occurring in the first place. In addition, we can consult with other landscape and lawn care services you may use to ensure that the treatments are coordinated and will not be harmful to your trees and shrubs. Remember, the potential size and longevity of trees and shrubs warrants special attention in your landscape. Bedding plants can be replaced in a few short weeks and a lawn in a single growing season, but it can take a lifetime or more to replace a mature tree.

Explains what plant health care means, what its implementation involves, and how trees and shrubs benefit from it. Symptoms, such as discolored leaves, dead branches, or early leaf drop, can prompt a call to a us.

Sometimes the cause of concern is a minor problem that is easily explained and corrected. Other times, the problem is more complex, with several underlying causes and a remedy that requires treatments extending over several years. Unfortunately, if the problem has gone undetected for so long that the tree cannot be helped, removal may be the only option.

The Solution: Plant Health Care
To better address situations such as these, we can create regular maintenance programs. The objective of a program is to maintain or improve the landscape’s appearance, vitality, and in the case of trees, safety, using the most cost-effective and environmentally sensitive practices and treatments available. A maintenance plan involves routine monitoring, preventive treatment, and a strong working relationship between us and you the property owner.

Here is the continuation of the series on Trees Damaged During Construction.

Aeration of the root area could improve root health, along with water and mineral uptake. One effective method employs a high-pressure, which breaks up soil with little impact to roots. This process can be beneficial, or it can be combined with soil additives and top dressing with organic mulch.

What About Fertilizing?
Fertilization should be limited following construction damage. Salts associated with quick acting fertilizers can draw water out of the roots and into the soil. Extra nitrogen can stimulate top growth at the expense of root growth. Once recovered, fertilization should be based on the nutritional needs of trees on a particular site.

Monitoring for Decline and Risk
Despite your best efforts, you may lose some trees from construction damage. Symptoms of decline include smaller and fewer leaves, die back in the crown of the tree, and premature fall color. Stressed trees are more prone to attack by certain diseases and pests, which further a tree’s downward spiral. Severe damage and decline may also lead to defects and decay. Consult with an arborist for a professional assessment if you are concerned with your tree’s health or structural integrity.

This is the final of a four series part in avoiding tree damage caused by construction. We hope you find the remaining articles informative.
