Full Tree and Shrub Care Programs
At Barr Tree Care we will create a Plant Health Management Program specific to your site. We will discuss the issues your site faces and prescribe a solution.
Mulching
Good plant health starts with properly mulched plants. Unfortunately most of our trees are improperly mulched and may actually be causing more harm than good. Our landscapes have fallen victims to "mulch volcanoes". This is a terrible epidemic that needs to be addressed.
Fertilization
Fertilization is one of the most important and fundamental parts of a healthy program. Studies have proven that combined with mulch and proper watering practices fertilized trees will grow twice as fast as trees just thrown in the ground with no proper care. We liquid inject our fertilizer into your soil using high pressure equipment. These methods allow the liquid products to be immediately available for root uptake unlike a solid spike. We may also include other beneficial products such as beneficial root fungi known as Mycorrhizal Fungi. These Fungi are natural and found in high numbers in organic material such as a forest floor. These fungi are an important part of a plants root system.
Insect and Disease Control
If you have a problem with insects and or diseases we can help. We can provide the diagnosis and services needed to keep your trees and shrubs healthy and looking good.
Construction Management
Proper tree health management prior to and after construction is a vital part of a trees survival rate. Did you know that it may take up to 10 years for a mature Oak to die after construction injury. So even if your tree looks healthy it in fact may be suffering. For this reason it is important to consult a Certified Arborist, like myself, before construction begins.
