Complete Tree Health Care

The urban environment is a hard place to live for trees. Soils are often compacted and lacking nutrients. Roots are severed during construction or landscaping, and hydrology gets changed when grades are altered. There is nothing natural about trees growing in the urban landscape, which is stressful for these long-lived organisms. When trees are stressed, they are more susceptible to insects and disease. Often, insects may indicate a deeper problem. However, some pests are virulent and will attack healthy trees. Depending on the situation, it may be best to treat only the insect, but sometimes the whole tree needs to be assessed, and a multi-pronged approach is warranted. Wellnitz Tree Care utilizes integrated pest management solutions to address more than just the symptoms and get to the root of the problem (see what I did there?) Blanket treatments and cover sprays are not a good solution and can decrease the landscape’s health over time by killing beneficial insects. Our approach is to develop specific plans for your trees to address all issues, not just the symptoms.

Trees are unique organisms within the landscape. They require specific care to stay healthy and look their best. Much like pristine lawns need care, so do trees. The difference between trees and lawns is that trees take decades and sometimes centuries to grow. Because of the time investment into having mature trees, their maintenance is essential.
