PESTS & DISEASES

EXPERIENCED, INTEGRATED, AND SAFE

We deeply value a safe and clean landscape environment.

When and how to treat a prized landscape plant that is under stress from a pest or disease is a decision that requires thoughtfulness, transparency, and pragmatism. We believe in building a decision making environment with our clients rooted in honesty and free of aggressive sales motives. If intervention is required, effective use of Organic, non-toxic, and least toxic plant medications demands professional expertise with precise application techniques.

Achieving vibrant health for the plants of your landscape requires awareness of all the factors that affect them: soil health, installation history, construction damage, drought, pest or disease damage. Proper diagnosis is key.

Deer Grazing

Leaf-eaters

Death by defoliation can take several years to complete, when a tree is annually deprived of its Spring leaf flush it begins to struggle and degrade. There are a number of ways to control leaf-eating caterpillars and insects that can defoliate a tree in a matter of days. Managing defoliators can often be accomplished without spraying.
