Tree Care, Fertilization, & Removal Services in Troy, IL!

Keep your trees, bushes, and soil healthy with fertilizer and water. It’s essential that you use fertilizer that is rich in nutrients that your landscaping needs. This holds true for all landscaping needs, including when you are using pesticides. The pesticides you use need to be compensated with proper mulching, fertilization, watering, and other landscaping up-keeping. Our team is more than happy to assist you in all your tree care and fertilization needs! Our team is staffed with ISA-certified arborists skilled to handle all your tree care needs. See below for additional landscaping and fertilization up-keeping.

The Importance of Mulch

Mulch oversees insulating tree roots near the surface. This helps to provide a layer of protection from harsh hot and cold temperatures. Your tree’s roots are the course of nutrient and water intake. Mulch will help the soil retain its water, keeping the roots damp and healthy. When mulching, it’s crucial that you remain 2-4” deep around your tree and avoid touching the tree’s trunk.

Using Pesticides

If you are using pesticides to treat insect infestations, make sure you spray the tree, the ground, and sometimes injected into the bark of your tree(s). Pesticides are used to control insect infestations, protect against fungus, and more. When you use a pesticide treatment, it’s typically used to rid of the following insects/pests:

  • Adelgids
  • Borers
  • Aphids
  • Japanese Beetles
  • Pine Bark Beetles
  • Psyllids
