Nurturing Nature – Expert Care for Plant Wellness.
Plant Health Care
It’s called Plant Health Care because it goes beyond the care of trees. Trees, shrubs, ornamental plants and even turfgrass share the same environment. What affects one plant may also have an impact on the rest of the living area. Garpiel’s ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, Don Churchill, has the experience and training to detect potential problems and sick trees before they become life-threatening.

FAQ
Who will be on my property spraying?
Don Churchill is a ISA Certified Board Certified Master Arborist. He performs all treatments for our Plant Health Care Division to ensure safe, effective treatments.
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.
Will just one tree and shrub treatment fix my problem?
Not usually. It will help, but it’s important to get on a regular program to make sure the disease or pest is controlled. Depending on the diagnosis some trees must be treated for the rest of their lifetime.
