Why is it better to inject some treatments into the soil (or the tree) rather than to spray them?

While spray treatments are helpful for a variety of tree issues, others are more helpful when they are injected. Some fertilizations, for instance, are injected into the soil, reaching the roots where the nutrients are most needed and can help the tree the most. There is also a high volume of water accompanying the products, this increases soil moisture and uptake by the tree.Other treatments are sometimes injected into the tree itself, often arming the tree with the protection it needs against a particular pest or disease. Sprays are helpful when there are pests, fungi, or other issues that impact the foliage or bark of a tree or shrub.

How will I know if my trees need to be treated with a spray or injection?

Many tree issues have similar symptoms and can be hard to differentiate. This is why scheduling an inspection is important. We can diagnose the issue(s) and determine the proper treatments to prevent chronic damage and disfigurement to your trees. Based on our analysis of the situation, we will provide you with a written estimate on the best treatment for your tree or shrub.

Bryan KaylorCourteous & Efficient

“The Garpiel crew did my spring clean up and I want to say how amazing the crew was and what an awesome job they did! They went far above and beyond my expectations and in spite of having to battle the fierce wind we had that day, they managed to get every leaf out of my bushes, lawn and under my deck (a very difficult task as it’s impossible to stand up in the egress under the deck and it was FULL of leaves!). My yard has never looked so good! Also, the crew that did the power raking the day before did a wonderful job also! I can’t say enough about your company and the work you all do! Many thanks!”
Carol LockwoodAbove & Beyond

“I would like to give 10 stars. My job is in the customer service side and work with several companies like Garpiel so service is important to me. For several years I've had Garpiel take care of my yard as well as my neighbors. Yesterday I had a question just a question about some grass concerns, the next day there was someone at my house checking my concern out. Never did I speak to someone just sent a message. If this isn't customer service then I don't know what is. Thanks for our outstanding service you should be proud of your team.”
