Plants Need Health Care, Too

Master-level support for a thriving, beautiful greenspace

YOU see a doctor for problems or check ups, but what about your plants? Plant problems can become property-value problems if left unaddressed. Delegating prevention and treatment to an expert is a strategic and wise investment.

Just like a cough nudges you to visit your doctor, your plants give warning signs indicating they need special attention. If your plants are showing signs of ill health, hiring a trained arborist is the best way to avoid a larger, more expensive problem.

Whether it’s a single problem that can be fixed with a short term plan, or a larger, diverse plant population that needs maintaining over the long run, we’ve got the tools and the knowledge to bring health and vibrancy to your property.

Your plants and trees serve to add beauty and value to your property. But they need some support to be able to do this for the long haul. Some of the ways we keep your plants thriving:

Why do plants and trees even need support? Isn’t water, light and ocassional pruning enough?

A plant in its natural environment has a completely different life than a plant in a landscaped, manicured yard. In nature, plants and trees have space for expansive root development, nutrients from composting leaves, soft soil, and less competition for resources. In your yard, plants and trees don’t have these elements, meaning they have to do more with less, creating a need for preventative care as well as treatments when a problem like pests or fungus manifests.

If left unchecked, small pests or a bit of fungus can do a lot of damage

Defoliation from insects or fungal infections disrupts the tree’s ability to both produce and access nutrients. Piercing and sucking insects such as Hemlock Wolly Adelgid, Aphids, and scale insects are capable of severely damaging your valuable trees and shrubs.

Jolly Green Tree has the tools, knowledge, and technology to tackle any of these problems with the least toxic, most effective approach.
