What's a tree care program?
The life of a tree isn't easy. In heavily trafficked or commercial environments, roots get constricted by buildings, parking lots and equipment and soil can be heavily compacted or low in organic matter and nutrients.
With ArborBoost Plus, your trees are nourished and maintained with regular site visits from a team of 2 certified arborists.
This is a proactive all-around approach to tree care and can include a wide range of services, depending on the unique needs of your property. Any larger issues or concerns will be actively reported alongside recommendations and estimated costs to address.

Deep root fertilizer
A synthetic formula delivered directly to a tree's root system with all the necessary nutrient ingredients to promote good tree health, colour and strength.
Deep root myco bio
These beneficial fungi greatly increase the effective rooting area of trees, thereby enhancing plant growth, vigor, and tolerance of environmental extremes.
Deep root humate
An organic compound that helps root growth through enhanced nutrient uptake, improved water retention and loosening compacted soil.
Insecticidal soap
A natural mixture of water and potassium salts from fatty acids that can help prevent insect infestations but does not harm plants.
Dormant oil
Specialized horticultural oil applied during a tree's dormant season (typically winter) that helps control the spread insects and certain diseases.
Natural insect control with BTK
BTK is a great choice because it has no known toxic effects on humans, mammals, plants, birds fish, or honeybees. However it can be quite effective in controlling caterpillar infestations.
Targeted trunk injections
Trunk injections deliver pesticides and fertilizers directly into a tree's vascular system to address specific issues such as pests or nutrient deficiencies.
Tree-A-Zin
Tree-A-Zin applied directly to trees as a systemic insecticide. It is effecitve against a variety of insects including: Emerald Ash Borer, Spongy Moth, Tent Caterpillars, Spruce Budworm, Jack Pine Budworm, Arborvitae Leafminers, Sawflies, European Elm Scale, and Red Elm Bark Weevil.
Regular site inspections
Our regular inspections will identify trees and branches encroaching on buildings or structures, sidewalks and parking areas. We'll also identify overgrown trees, which can obscure lines of sight and lead to security concerns.
Tree pruning
On every site visit, our arborists will perform pruning as needed. We wil include selective pruning, clearance pruning and elevation pruning.
Pheromone traps
Pheromone traps are a non-toxic intervention that can be used to control populations of LDD moths, which are a common cause of pest infestation in Southern Ontario.
