Plant Health Care

Cumberland Valley Tree Service – Landscaping strives to prevent the costly disease and insect problems of tomorrow through careful monitoring today. A PHC specialist recognizes that every property is different and that every plant offers its own unique challenges and opportunities. By exploring the landscape with you and understanding your goals, the PHC specialist develops an individualized program that meets the specific needs of your plants. PHC allows for one, some, or all of your valued plants to be monitored through frequent inspections throughout the growing season. These inspections enable us to address small plant health issues before they become unmanageable.

Enrollment in our “Green Solutions Plant Health Care Program” ensures that a PHC specialist is visiting your property during the growing season. A minimum of 7 site visits are scheduled for your property from April to October. Generally, visits will occur monthly; however, more frequent visits may be required in the Spring. 50 gallons of fertilizer are included in the program to be applied around the trees and shrubs as needed. Each site visit will include the scheduled treatments and a written report. “Key” plant inspections will occur as a part of each site visit. All plant material will not be inspected as a part of every visit. Included in the program are the first 2 insect/disease samples sent away to the diagnostic lab. Participants in the program will be contacted to request approval for any additionally recommended services. The “Green Solutions Plant Health Care Program” is plant focused, client oriented, and environmentally sensitive.
