Plant and Soil Health Care

Soil in the urban environment is not at all comparable to soil found in the forest, where trees thrive. Urban soil is almost always much more compact, devoid of nutrients, beneficial micro-organisms, organic matter and nutrients. The main focus of Arbortect’s plant health care program is to improve soil conditions, which consequently improves tree vitality. Just a few of the plant health care services Arbortect provides are: 

  • Soil and root therapy liquid injection to replicate forest soil.  

  • Soil decompaction 

  • Insect and disease control

  • Root Pruning  

Soil health can also improve your local environment, by cleaning air and water, improving water retention and capturing carbon. Biodiversity is essential for a healthy ecosystem.

Tree and Shrub Pruning

Proper pruning of trees and shrubs using industry standards and over two decades of experience to improve aesthetics, plant health and safety.

Tree Inspection

Often a client has trees but is not sure how they should be caring for them or if any present a risk. By having Arbortect visit your property we can provide a free visual assessment and discuss options to help you make an informed decision on how to proceed with your tree’s needs. 

Our inspections can help you in discussions concerning local laws and neighborhood rules that require Arborist recommendations prior to beginning any landscaping project.

Tree Cabling and Structural Support Systems

Just because your tree has a dangerous defect doesn't mean the tree must be removed. In many situations a cable or rod can be installed to reduce the risk of failure to weak unions. This is a more cost effective option and allows you to retain your beautiful tree.

Tree Removal

Removal of trees is sometimes necessary. Especially when the tree is dead or a safety issue. Tree removal is very dangerous and should be left to certified arborists and highly skilled tree workers. It is important that these individuals be properly trained, and also have a passion for what they are doing since just one mistake could result in serious damage or injury.

Selecting a tree care company to remove your tree is a critical decision. It is important to differentiate between companies that invest in safety training and culture vs one that offers a lower price at the cost of safety to their employees and clients. 

Construction, Development, Renovation

Atlanta and many surrounding cities have tree ordinances in place to protect trees. Large fines can be issued just for disturbing soil within the critical root zone of a tree.  

Your Arborist should become part of the development team starting with the planning  process and then remain involved throughout the construction process until completion. Any project with trees should involve a Consulting Arborist experienced in every aspect of construction as early as possible. The right Arborist will save the project money while navigating complex regulations, minimize environmental site impact, improve public relations and most importantly make sure no trees are harmed during the construction process.

 

Arbortect Tree Specialists provides exceptional knowledge and skill. They removed two large trees and some large limbs from over my house without touching my home or harming any property. They also solved the insect problem with one of my largest trees. I highly recommend Arbortect Tree Specialists.”
