If you have a tree that needs additional support, cabling and bracing can prevent the tree from splitting apart. This procedure is essential for older trees that may have limbs in danger of breaking off. Limb loss can destroy the tree as well as anything around it—the people and structures around the tree are referred to as targets.

Joe, Mike, and Brian are all certified by the state of Connecticut to apply pesticides (DEEP# B-1978). Insect and disease control products can be applied in several different ways, so we will examine the tree and determine which treatment and method will be most effective. Types of insects that can infest your tree include the Hemlock wooly adelgid, spider mites, scale, bronze birch borer, weevils, caterpillars, and more. Connecticut’s ash trees are currently at risk of damage from the emerald ash borer—we can help protect your ash trees from this insect.

Trees in forests receive their nutrients from organic debris on the forest floor. However, in non-forest environments, this compost is usually cleared away. Fertilizer is important for helping deliver the nutrients trees are missing. We offer a deep root feeding system that helps improve the health and vigor of the tree, which helps prevent diseases. We use PHC brand fertilizer, utilizing the most efficient delivery system possible to help the roots receive the nutrients they need while minimizing runoff.

Root excavation requires using high-pressure air to displace soil. We use a tool called an air spade, which prevents damage to fine-root hairs. This technique allows us to lessen soil compaction, which allows for increased oxygen to reach the roots and allows us to access the root system for inspection.

Our spray technicians protect your plants from deer damage. The deer population is growing, and that means that more hungry deer are around looking for plants to eat. Installing a fence is effective, but it can be expensive. We offer a safe, long-lasting, and eco-friendly deer repellant that keeps deer away from your property. Our spring-through-fall repellent deters deer due to its taste and smell, which is undetectable to humans. Our late-fall/winter application is the longest lasting repellent available and leaves a visible film on the plant that repels deer through taste alone. These applications are effective for white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, mule deer, sika deer, elk, and even moose.

To safely and effectively eliminate ticks, we target the white-footed mouse, which is the most popular animal for ticks to feed on. Our licensed team implements Damminix in mouse habitats to protect your property, family, and pets from Lyme-disease-carrying deer ticks. Damminix is a system in which we spray cotton balls with a safe, biodegradable ingredient that kills ticks but doesn’t hurt the mice or other wildlife. These cotton balls are then placed in cardboard tubes that we place in strategic areas on your property and any surrounding woods. The mice then bring these cotton balls to their burrows to line their nests. The ticks on the mice are eliminated when they come into contact with the treated cotton balls.

Frequent hedge trimming gives your hedge a fuller, more aesthetically pleasing look that adds visual appeal to your property, while keeping it at a manageable size.
