Tree Health Care

We practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This simply means that we incorporate various treatment or care practices to resolve existing problems, and prevent new ones. An integrated approach begins with maintaining plant health using sound cultural practices including pruning and creating optimal soil conditions for plant growth.

Periodic inspections are essential to detect pest infestations before they reach damaging levels. Mr. Amoto’s certified arborists are trained to recognize beneficial insects that will help naturally suppress pest populations. Indiscriminate use of broad spectrum insecticides can harm these beneficial insects and actually worsen the problem at hand. When treatments are necessary, we can apply treatments that provide effective pest suppression while protecting people and the environment.
