Protect Your Landscape With Plant Health Care in Smyrna, GA

When plants show visible symptoms like discoloration or decline, underlying issues are often the culprit. Georgia's soil and climate create unique challenges for trees and shrubs throughout the Metro Atlanta area.

• Nutrient deficiencies: Poor soil starves plants of essential minerals, leading to yellowing foliage and stunted growth.
• Pest infestations: Destructive insects like scale and borers quickly damage or kill vulnerable plants when left untreated by professional arborists.
• Fungal and bacterial diseases: Georgia's hot, humid summers encourage pathogens that cause leaf spots, root rot and progressive decline in trees and shrubs.
• Environmental stress: Soil compaction, drought conditions and temperature extremes can weaken your plants' natural defenses, making them susceptible to additional problems.

We don't guess at solutions or apply generic treatments across every property. Each landscape has different soil composition, drainage patterns, sun exposure and plant species. Our arborists assess all these factors during an initial site evaluation, then build a plant health care program around what your trees and shrubs actually need.

This plan includes analyzing soil health and root systems, checking for pest activity or disease symptoms, and identifying environmental stressors affecting growth. Once we understand what's happening, we address problems with targeted treatments.

Our maintenance programs run year-round, with visits timed to provide preventive care before issues develop and curative treatments when problems emerge. Many clients start with our Arbor Care Plan, which includes eight visits per year. Properties with complex needs can upgrade to the Arbor Care Advantage Program, which includes 10 visits, or the Arbor Care Advantage Plus Program, which includes 12 visits, for intensive management.

Our plant health care services include: 

• Targeted tree fertilization and soil care: Custom nutrient blends address specific deficiencies identified through soil testing and assessment.
• Tree disease treatment and insect management: Our preventive and curative treatments protect your plants from destructive pests and diseases common throughout the region. 
• Root system care: We use specialized techniques including root collar excavation, root invigoration and air spade work to improve soil structure and root health.
• Ongoing monitoring: Regular inspections during each visit let us catch developing issues early and adjust treatments throughout the season.
