Fully
15% of your property value can be attributed to the overall appearance
of your landscape.
Neglected
Ornamental Trees & Shrubs decline and take away from the value of your
property.
Shrub Doctor provides annual
integr ated
plant healthcare programs that control disease and infestation in your
ornamental trees and shrubs and promote healthy growth. The BASIC
program begins with a full evaluation of your landscape trees and
shrubs. Shrub Doctor will inspect every tree and shrub, individually,
for signs of past or current disease or insect infestation. He'll also
inspect the soil and/or bed area around the plants looking for any
indications of poor soil quality which greatly affects the health of all
landscape plants. Once you become a customer, Shrub Doctor's basic
service program includes bimonthly inspections of all plants under Shrub
Doctor's care followed by selective treatments for the control of
disease and insect infestation. All products used by Shrub Doctor are
environmentally safe and are designed and formulated by Shrub Doctor
with maximum efficiency and healthy results in mind.
Every
other month Shrub Doctor will visit your property as part of his normal
inspection process to make sure any new signs of disease or infestation
are noticed early and can be treated accordingly. This is also a great
opportunity for Shrub Doctor to make sure the trees and shrubs in your
landscape are responding properly to previous treatments
The foundation of all plant health begins with
healthy soil. You won't hear that very often because most
companies in the industry don't understand what constitutes proper soil
structure. Fortunately for you, Shrub Doctor does.
Soil Conditioning is included as a part of the
Basic Service Program. Shrub Doctor understands the nature of
poor soil structure, it's causes and affects on plant growth and has
developed a program that specifically addresses these issues in your
landscape. There are many contributing factors that lead to poor soil
structure. One is overly compacted soil much like you see in the
Southeast with hard, red clay. Clay soil molecules bond together very
tightly and won't allowing moisture to penetrate the area. Compacted
areas aren't conducive to microbial activity. This activity in the soil
is what breathes life into soil and allows plants to fully develop their
root systems. In part, Shrub Doctor's annual soil management program
introduces live microscopic biologicals directly into the soil which
promotes microbial activity. This activity in the soil creates a good
environment for earthworms and other living organisms. The result is
increased organic matter, improved air, water and nutrient exchange
within the soil profile and a healthier root zone. All of these
improvements increase soil fertility which is necessary for healthy root
and plant development. |
