While there
are commonalities between properties, we also find wide
variations in plant material, soil types, irrigation, etc. It is
because of these variations that each site requires a degree of
special attention. This is why we don’t use generic round-based
programs that many of our competitors use. By targeting
specific plants vs. blanket spraying entire properties, we are
able to reduce pesticide usage and provide accurately timed
control of pests and disease before damage occurs.
Expanded services include:
 Insect
Control:
Targets
potential problem plants and historical problem areas
Disease
Control:
Largely dependant on site history, weather, and local conditions
Cultural
Control:
Plant stress leads to insect and disease problems. A problem can
often be solved by sound cultural practices like removing excess
mulch, adding or removing moisture, modifying soil deficiencies,
and relocating a shade loving plant from a sunny location. Our
goal is to solve your problems by removing the causes rather
than treating the symptoms.
