WHY HIRE A CERTIFIED ARBORIST?
_________________________________________________________________________________

    


    
A certified arborist is an individual who is experienced and knowledgeable in the art
and science of planting, caring, and maintaining trees and shrubs.  They are also
required to pass a comprehensive exam developed by some of the leading experts
of tree and plant health care. Certified arborists must continue their education to
maintain certification.  This keeps them  up-to-date on the latest techniques in tree
and plant health care.

DIAGNOSIS:
• Visual Inspection 
• Vitality and Stored Starch Testing 
• Soil Analysis and Compaction Testing 
• PH and Plant Tissue Testing 
• Disease and Pest Evaluation 
• Hazardous and Tree Survivability Identification 

TREATMENT:
• Corrective Pruning 
• Integrated Plant Managment 
• Soil and Trunk Injections 
• Fruit and Seed Reduction 
• Tree Growth Regulators 
• Vertical Mulching and Soil Aeration 
• Custom-blended Bio-stimulants, Humates, 
  Soil Conditioners and Fertilizers
    

    
MONITORING:
• Continued Vitality and Stored
   Starch Testing
• Core Sampling to Determine Reaction
   (vitality) to the Treatment
• Recording of Branch, Root and
   Mycorrhizal Growth Increase
