or broken branches |

shoot growth |

| Fertilizing |
| We
use an environmentally friendly organic fertilizer in accordance with national
standards. The fertilizer is injected directly into the root zone for maximum
benefit. Our feeder is a low-pressure injection that protects the delicate
root system of the plants and trees. Fertilization should be done periodically.
Call one of our consulting arborists to survey your property as to the
types of trees and plants you have, and their individual needs. We can
arrange a maintenance program for your property to keep it looking beautiful.
Some of the benefits of deep root fertilizing your trees and plants are: |
|
| -Nutrients and water go
directly to the roots |
| -Aeration of the soil |
| -Improved tree health |
| -Luxuriant foliage |
| -Improved tree vigor |
| -Encourages new growth |
|
| Remember, trees
in stress caused by cold, heat, wind, and drought promote disease and insect
infestation. A happy tree is a healthy tree. Make sure your trees and plants
are well fertilized and properly watered. |
| Disease
and Insect Control |
| One
of the more common pests in our region is the HEMLOCK WOOLLY ADELGID.
The hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae, has been in the United
States since 1924. This introduced insect, believed to be native of Asia,
is a serious pest of eastern hemlock and Carolina hemlock. White cottony
sacs at the base of the needles are good evidence of a hemlock woolly adelgid
infestation. These sacs resemble the tips of cotton swabs. They are present
throughout the year, but are most prominent in early spring. By sucking
sap from the young twigs, the insect retards or prevents tree growth causing
needles to discolor from deep green to grayish green and to drop prematurely.
The loss of new shoots and needles seriously impairs tree health. Defoliation
and tree death can occur within several years if left untreated. |
|
| There are many insect and
diseases that are our trees are exposed to. Our consulting arbosists
are able to diagnose any insect or disease. We have several treatments
available and we are able to set you up on a treatment plan of your choice. |
| Cabling
and Bracing |
| Cabling and bracing is a
great way to preserve a tree or reduce liability. Cabling involves installing
steel cables or rods between major limbs to reduce strain and help support
the tree. Cabling also helps reduce stress damage from snow, ice, and high
winds. Cabling and bracing a tree reduces the risk of tree failure. |
| Storm
Damage |
| No
one can prevent the kind of tree damage caused by severe weather events
such as high winds, snow storms, ice storms, or hurricanes. Don't wait
until Mother Nature sends a tree crashing down on that new car, or even
worse - your home. Take care of safety and liability concerts before it
is too late. Anything that looks suspicious deserves attention. Call
one of our trained expert arborists to evaluate your property. If damage
is done to your home or property, be assured that an emergency team is
always on call at D&B Tree Service. We are only a phone call
away! |
