TREES MANAGEMENT

San Diego County tree trimming is more than just a labor and physically intensive task;  it's a form of art.  Trees are trimmed for  many reasons.  They may be causing problems, or they could be infected, dying, overgrown, interfering with power lines, encroaching on a neighboring property or undermining aspects of your home or business.  Trees are trimmed, pruned and laced in accordance with the natural geno-structure of the tree.  Healthy growth is promoted by sharply severing portions of branches which gives the rest of the tree an opportunity to thrive.  But the real goal is to beautify the tree to enhance the property surrounding it.

​

Disease and insects often make homes of vulnerable trees.  Insect abatement and disease control are mission critical to the continued health and well-being of trees in San Diego.  Diseases that attack trees are usually looking for the perfect storm, i.e., a bacteria, a host and the right environment.  Typically, that means, fungi, virus or bacteria attack a weak tree in an environment of temperature extremes.  San Diego tree disease and insect management is the process of diagnosing the pathogen (the attacker) and mitigating its progression with therapeutic  remedies for the tree - given that the environmental factors are not likely to change.  Insects can be much more aggressive in their attack upon trees.  99% of the time the culprit is one type or another of tree beetle.  We use eco-friendly methods to discourage the presence of insects and pests in the trees of San Diego.

Do these elements look familiar?  They should.  These are among the core elements of a healthy human body.  "If you want to live a healthy life, eat your vegetables".  The same is true with trees.  The fundamentals of a thriving tree begin at the dinner table - the soil.  In the right proportions these elements make up the basics of a healthy tree.  San Diego soil management is the ongoing process of assuring that a given tree has a soil component that matches its optimum nutrition needs for both the specific tree and the tree's specific geographic location.  Properly balanced, nutrient rich soil is the source of a healthy, thriving tree.
