How Tree Services Help Protect Your Yard
Healthy and strong trees and shrubs can prevent hazards, such as accidents caused by falling branches around your yard; they also provide vegetative cover that helps increase the aesthetic appeal of your yard. To effectively protect your yard from these and other hazards, the trees and shrubs require regular maintenance, including pruning, disease control, and root fertilization. Here are a few interventions that tree services use to maintain plants and protect your yard:
Insect and Disease Control
Insects can damage the roots, fruits, trunk, and leaves of plants, causing discoloration of the foliage or preventing trees from growing. A professional tree management service helps protect your yard against these damages, using the appropriate insecticide. Arborists start by identifying the cause of insect manifestation, and then they prescribe a customized solution to eradicate them.
Tree maintenance services may use injections to eradicate insects from your yard. Before administering the injections, the arborists study the type of plants in your yard to determine the appropriate solution to use. They may use dormant oil treatment to eradicate insect eggs before they hatch and destroy plants; dormant oils kill the eggs without damaging your plants’ foliage since they are nontoxic.
Fungal and bacterial diseases can cause plants to wither and have branch weakness; if left untreated, these diseases may spread and eventually cause the death of all the plants in your yard. Professional tree services help diagnose the diseases promptly before administering the appropriate treatment regimen, including fungicides, bactericides, and antibiotics. They may also advise you to reduce excessive irrigation, since the damp environment can harbor fungi and molds.
Deer and Rodent Control
Deer and rodents, such as mice and rabbits, sometimes eat the foliage of plants in yards, damaging the trees. They may also step on seedlings, causing stunted growth or long-term damage. If you notice these destructions of your plants, contact professional arborists. The tree doctor starts by determining if the destructions were caused by deer and rodents before suggesting the appropriate interventions; this may include fencing your yard or using repellents to keep the deer and rodents away.
Tree Growth Regulation
When trees grow to the size you desire, it is advisable to regulate their growth in order to keep your yard tidy. Falling debris, such as loose branches from overgrown trees, can damage your house or other structures. Professional arborists use growth regulators to slow down the growth of your trees; this prolongs the life of the trees and reduces the need for regular pruning and yard cleaning.
Excessive fruit and seed production can cause them to accumulate on your lawn, requiring regular cleaning. Growth regulators help reduce the excessive fruit and seed production, leaving your yard clean and tidy. This reduces the need for regular pruning.
Root and Soil Fertilization
Professional arborists help evaluate the type of soil in your yard to determine if there are any missing nutrients; the nutrients may be missing due to environmental factors, such as extremely high or low temperatures. Their absence sometimes affects the growth of trees and shrubs in your yard. An arborist addresses this absence using fertilizers that contain nutrients, such as nitrates, potassium, and calcium. The nutrients boost the immunity of the trees and shrubs, promoting their healthy growth; they are usually injected directly into the root zones to speed up their absorption.
Schedule Regular Tree Services
Trees and shrubs in your yard may suffer from diseases, a lack of nutrients, and pest infestation, affecting their healthy growth. Professional arborists help address these setbacks by providing prompt solutions, including pest eradication and growth regulation. Schedule a regular tree service to maintain a healthy vegetation cover and protect your yard.
