Plant Care Services: Keeping Plants Healthy
Plant care is important regardless of where you live, but it can be even more crucial in areas like Southeastern Wisconsin, where seasonal stressors can have a negative impact on the health and wellness of your trees. Wachtel Tree Science provides professional plant health care services for Wisconsin residents and businesses, focused on improving the long-term health and vitality of your trees.
Our methods help to preserve beneficial insects and control common diseases — like Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease. We do this through careful plant management and a series of plant care techniques like injections or spray programs. At Wachtel, we place a high value on the science of tree and shrub care. We identify and treat exactly what is needed based on the life cycles of insects and diseases, using extremely focused and targeted applications.
While many may view plant health as a reactionary field, saving plants after you've noticed something is wrong is just a small part of plant care management. Maintaining your plants before a problem can even arise is a much more beneficial way to enhance their wellness and longevity. If a plant becomes too sick, it can become much more difficult (and expensive) to nurse it back to health. Quick, regular check-ups from the ISA Certified Arborists at Wachtel are the most efficient way to ensure your plants live a long, healthy life, while simultaneously ensuring your Wisconsin home has the best curb appeal possible.
- Systemic Insecticides – soil-applied treatments that provide long-lasting protection against invasive pests by moving naturally through the vascular system.
- Targeted Spray Programs – custom-timed applications designed to disrupt the specific life cycles of Wisconsin tree diseases and seasonal insects.
- Trunk Injections – a direct-injection method used to deliver fast-acting treatments for a variety of tree health concerns, such as nutrient deficiencies or insect control.
- Soil Amendments – specialized root-zone applications that correct nutrient imbalances, promote vigorous growth, and introduce beneficial fungi to the soil.
- Organic Compost Tea – a healthy mix of nutrients added to the area around your tree to promote growth and prevent diseases.
Signs of a Sick Tree
The ISA Certified Arborists at Wachtel Tree Science recommend personally inspecting your trees each season. Look for things like bark loss, discolored or falling leaves, and fungus, as each of these - or even if your tree simply doesn't look the same as it used to - is a sign of a sick tree. If you notice one or more of these signs, reach out to us so we can diagnose the problem as early as possible. There are a number of different treatments based on species and what's affecting them, so it's best to call in the experts and come up with a plant care plan.
Developing Your Custom Plant Care Plan
Whether your trees or shrubs need help keeping away harmful pests, controlling or preventing diseases, or turning around soil deficiencies, the knowledgeable experts at Wachtel Tree Science are prepared to develop a custom treatment plan specific to your property and the trees that call it home. Our ISA Certified Arborists will visit your property to provide a thorough health assessment, identifying and diagnosing any plant health issues affecting your trees, shrubs, or other flora.
