Why contact an arborist for plant health care?
While trees are the dominant feature in your home landscape, they share this area with turf grass, shrubs, and flowers. All these plants have one resource in common: the soil. The roots of trees, shrubs, turf grass and flowers intermingle and compete for nutrients and water in the soil. Fertilizers applied to your lawn can impact the appearance and vitality of your trees and shrubs. A Plant Health Care (PHC) program is a holistic approach to managing the health of all plants in the landscape. Trees and shrubs are the focus of the program because they represent a long-term investment in your landscape. Bedding plants can be replaced in a few shorts weeks and a lawn in a single growing season, but it can take a lifetime or more to replace a mature tree. A PHC program involves monitoring tree and shrub health. It allows problems to be detected and managed before they become serious.
