Professional Tree and Palm Health Care Services

Hardwood Tree Care

While hardwoods are common throughout the United States, few people understand their unique care needs. We provide diverse tree health care services for hardwoods, tailored to support long-term vitality, even in challenging soil or environmental conditions.

Soil Testing and Analysis

Establishing healthy trees starts with understanding the soil’s condition. We use professional soil testing to understand key metrics like pH, nutrient levels and overall soil health. These baseline measurements inform our process at every step, allowing us to tailor treatments to your needs. In some cases, ongoing analysis is needed to ensure your soil is performing as expected and to address any soil problems.

Growth Management Treatments

Managing growth is as essential to tree health as managing pests and fungi. We use a proven growth regulator, Cambistat, to moderate canopy growth and promote root growth. Having stronger roots instead of an oversized canopy makes trees more stable and gives them greater resistance to drought, pests and disease. This treatment is ideal for stressed trees or those growing in tight spaces.

Mectinite^® Tree Injections

Hardwoods suffer from a variety of pests and insects. A Budget Tree Service offers Mectinite^® tree injections that provide up to two years of protection against wood-boring and leaf-feeding pests. These treatments are especially effective for trees recovering from injury or under extensive pest pressure.

Reliant^® Fungicide Treatments

Our professional team members apply a systemic fungicide from Reliant^®, allowing us to manage serious diseases such as root rot and collar rot caused by Phytophthora and Pythium fungi. This product may be applied to the bark or leaves, or injected, depending on the tree’s needs.

Tree Fertilization Services

Keeping your trees well-fed is essential to their health and consistent growth. We use a slow-release fertilizer recommended by the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. Specifically developed for Florida’s soils, this fertilizer is applied from November to March to support healthy foliage, strong root development, and improved resilience.

Root Invigoration Services

When compacted soil impacts root growth and health, root invigoration is the key. Our team removes targeted sections of compact soil to improve aeration and water flow. Then, we backfill the space created with a custom soil blend. It includes native soil, BioRush^® root growth stimulant, and organic materials that work together to foster healthy microbial activity and consistent root development.
