There’s more to maintaining trees than simply pruning

By Adam Cook

Spring signals vibrant returns, and as your yard awakens from its dormancy, it’s essential to ensure trees and plants thrive. While some people have a natural green thumb, others entrust the knowledge and skill of a professional tree care provider like Titan Arbor Care to ensure their greenery flourishes to the fullest.

Certified arborists Jay Dalton, Jeremy Rolf, and Tyler Honsaker, co-owners of Titan Arbor Care, are experts in plant health care (PHC) to promote the vitality and longevity of green spaces and specialize in managing tree and stump removals and implementing strategic pruning plans to foster lush landscapes.

“As the soil warms and tree roots become more active, it’s an optimal time for planting,” explains Jay. “But beyond planting, ensuring the ongoing health of your yard’s trees is vital.”

Adhering to PHC principles, Jay advocates for a proactive approach to pruning, disease treatment, and pest management.

Putting your yard on a path to peak condition starts with early spring pruning. Eliminating dead and overlapping branches enhances airflow and gives trees room to soak up sunlight.

On the flip side, fertilizing supplies nutrients that may be deficient in the soil. To achieve the best results, it’s imperative you follow guidelines based on soil tests and the specific requirements of different tree species.

Consider seeking out certified arborists who will also use their expertise to inspect trees for signs of diseases and pests sooner rather than later. Early intervention is critical before diseases and infestations become severe.

“Our fertilization services and insecticide treatments protect against disease and pests, and our ground injections and foliar sprays target specific issues, promoting robust growth and resilience,” Jay says. “The sooner you catch abnormal leaf discoloration, wilting or thinning leaves, or unusual growths or bark patterns, the better.”

Returning to the beginning, Titan Arbor Care’s annual or biannual pruning plans, backed by certified arborists, streamline tree and plant maintenance while guaranteeing regular checkups, ensuring the year-round care necessary to reach your yard’s peak condition.
