Spring is the best time to take preventive measures that could ultimately cost you the health of your trees. An Arader Tree expert will perform a thorough evaluation of your property to determine your tree care needs and determine what course of action needs to be taken.

You can take advantage of our Plant Health Care program at any time although spring is the ideal time to begin a treatment program.

What can you do about it?
By scheduling an annual Plant Healthcare check-up, you'll be providing the regular, on-going care your trees require. Our Plant Healthcare trucks are designed with state-of-the-art equipment and very efficient tank systems to allow for exceptionally clean and versatile rigs.

• Insects – Arader Tree Service can diagnose the problem and apply the latest EPA approved products that can eliminate insects that cause damage. However, these products are not toxic to insects that are beneficial to your flowering plants and shrubs.
• Mulching – Laying down a bed of wood chips helps to conserve moisture year-round, keeps the soil cool, keeps weeds down and protects your trees and plantings from mechanical injury.
• Fertilizing – feeding your trees the right "food" gives them a nutrient boost that prepares them for the growing season. Fertilization also helps to maintain the beauty and vitality of trees.
• Pruning – By removing unhealthy, diseased or damaged limbs, tree pruning allows trees to move with the wind and reduces the chance of limbs breaking off and causing damage. More importantly, proper pruning enables tree roots to sustain the rest of the tree more efficiently.
• Soil Testing – Healthy soil yields healthy trees and shrubs. Arader Tree Service can test soil samples to determine if your soil has the proper levels of micro and macronutrients. pH balance and the ability to hold moisture and transport nutrients are also addressed.
• Watering – Trees with shallow roots, newly planted trees, or those in poor health need watering during dry periods. Watering needs vary depending on the type of tree, soil type, site drainage and rainfall. An Arader pro can assess the hydration needs of your trees and create a watering plan that will help them to thrive.
