Pest Control and Landscape Services
Posted on 25. Jun, 2009 by admin in Bay Area Tree Care, Landscape Service, Pest Control Blog, Pest Control Service, Uncategorized
Today in Atherton I finished a job on a large property that involved tree spraying (for insect and fungus control and fertilization as well), a garden spray (for the same reasons, exterminator services are very much part of what we do when required), an orchard spray (horticultural oil), pest management around the home, and weed abatement as well.
A number of our clients make use of the fact that unlike most pest control firms, we provide a wide variety of landscaping services. (With our partners, we even provide full service arboriculture and landscape design and installation services.)
Orchard spraying is an area of our special expertise. Orchards contain “domesticated” trees, which have been developed over the centuries specifically for bearing fruit. Hence, they have developed in a context that presumes some kind of spray maintenance. The most environmentally friendly products can be used, to eliminate risk of toxicity and the trees receive the protection from insects and fungus they need to bear the most fruit possible.
Also, we spray very large trees. When found in ornamental landscapes (such as around homes and office buildings), and often out of their native habitats, trees often develop a variety of problems. Although the possibilities are myriad, the most common problems generally fall into three main areas:
1. Insect Infestations
2. Fungus Problems (in the soil as well as in the tree)
3. Undernourishment
Hence, we recommend annual, biannual, or quarterly spray maintenance for most ornamental trees. Naturally, we always include protection against insects, fungus and we also apply fertilizer to the foliage.
Lastly, we offer this same kind of protection to all your ornamental plants when we do garden sprays. This is truly one of my favorite services to provide as it improves the visual appeal, health and beauty of any garden tremendously. The foliage stays green and healthy and free of the many diseases and insect problems that can diminish a garden’s beauty.
Also, bear in mind that we offer various kinds of weed abatement and removal. Whether you have poison oak that you need destroyed and removed, have weed growing in your lawn, or simply have a patch of dirt that would be bare were it not infested with weeds, we can help you.
