Our Soil Management Services:
Soil Testing - a process most arborists will use that help identify what elements and nutrients are in the soil. This can paint a clear picture as to why you may be having problems growing plants. With this new data, our arborists can build a treatment plan that can alter the soil to be more hospitable for sustaining plant life.
|
Soil Alteration - is needed when soil becomes unable to sustain life. There are many ways soil can become barren; one way is construction - this can cause soil to become like clay and stop absorbing water known as "Hard Soil". Other alterations we make are altering the contents in some soils to help enrich the nutrients for macro life and for floral life. In some areas of the city, you may be surprised to know that there are different types of soil 2 feet under the soil you plant on. This is due to the original contractors who built the neighborhood. These contractors will use either clay or sand to lay the foundation on each lot, this can change the nutrients and how root of plants will take hold. What’s under your soil? If you like to know more about our Soil Alterations services please contact us @ 281-803-8005

Soil Conditioning - is the process of applying nutrients into the soil. Unlike fertilizing, Soil Conditioning changes the density of the soil to hold more air and allow the soil to hold more water and nutrients. Soil conditioning can also change the PH levels of the soil. If you would like to keep your soil nice and fertile contact us at 281-803-8005.

Sick Tree Diagnosis - Trees do get sick, but not in the way we do. There are many different ways a tree can show signs that it is sick or dying. When a tree has a problem, it goes through a process to try and eliminate it. It reduces resources in areas to help offset the issue that is causing it harm. These stages may not be something a common person may notice until too late. Our Tomball Arborist will explain why a tree is in stress, and what could be the issues to be concerned with areas that are minor and can wait. Contact us here and schedule a consultation and have your trees examined.

Sick Tree Treatment - is a process of repairing tree damage caused by outside sources. From lightening strikes to insect and fungal infestation, our Tomball arborists have the resources and education to safely help heal a tree and its ailments. There are some trees that cannot be saved, and if that happens, our arborist will let you know and why.
Tree Fertilization - top soil and deep soil fertilization puts new nutrients into the soil to help boost the macro bacteria and macro life in the soil that produce resources that plants and trees need. These nutrients are nitrate and potassium based, the building blocks for promoting life in the soil. This service is not the same as soil conditioning, but together they can maximize the growth for best results throughout the year.
The Right Arborist Choice!

Deep Root Fertilization - is a type of fertilization service that injects needed nutrients and beneficial nitrate fixing bacteria to help stimulate root growth and root health.

Greener Pastures
|
Do you know that dark green is a sign of a healthy and strong plant. The deep green pigment in the leave or lawn blade can process light more efficiently as well as absorb more liquids. The benefit of having lawn and trees with these qualities are cooler areas and fresher air. The leaves will filter out pollution and carbon from the air, leaving a clean refreshing air to enjoy.
It takes more than fertilizer to get results! Picture this scenario; A "sickly person" goes to the doctor for a check up, while the doctor checks him over and ask him questions on his symptoms, the doctor says I can't tell for sure until I see the results of the test come back, but you may be suffering from a lack of vitamins or deficit in nutrition. So the patient goes and buys a bunch of vitamins and high nutrition drinks. A week later this sickly person was now feeling worse and back at the doctors office. The doctor looks at the sickly person and says his test results came back and show he had a low iron and also fighting a parasite. Unfortunately, all the vitamins and nutrients boost he took made the parasite enormous and now require surgery to remove it. Much like the story above, over fertilizing or putting unknown chemicals into the soil, could cause more problems than fix. There could be underlying issues, much like the parasite, where there is an invading force, like parasitic fungi, or insects, that could be causing all the problems. Much like the Doctor, our Expert Tomball Arborist will examine the soil and vegetation on a client's property, then take samples for testing. Once they have a proper idea of what the health of the soil is, to bacterial infection, they can develop a proper nutrient content for the fertilizing of the soil. This ensures maximum results, and ensure the greenest lawn in the neighborhood. |

Pine Bark Beetle Treatment Tomball, TX
|
Tomball Arborist offers our clients methods that have proven to be effective for managing Pine Bark Beetles. The Drill, Plug, Injection method is more effective than any other technique available. Pine Bark Beetles are aggressive and fast colonizers. By the time you notice that your Pine tree has beetle activity, it could very well be too late! Stay on guard for signs of beetle activity and call a certified arborist if any activity is present. Even though Pine Bark Beetles are the size of a grain of rice, from the moment of infestation, it can take as little as 14 days for a Pine tree to die.

What is a Pine Bark Beetle?
The Pine Bark Beetle is a small beetle that attacks pine trees. They are attracted to trees that are experiencing high amounts of stress due to drought, flooding, neglect etc.. The Pine Bark Beetle is approximately the size of a grain of rice and bores a small hole through the bark and into the vascular layers of the Pine tree. These layers allow flow of nutrients from the roots to the canopy of the tree (like our veins and arteries). Although small, the Pine Bark Beetle attacks the tree in large numbers so that the number of bore holes in the Pine can reach up to the thousands. Ultimately, the vascular layer of the tree is so devastated, that essential nutrients are no longer able to reach the tree's foliage and the tree dies. This can take as little as 14 days from the time the Pine Bark Beetle enters the tree. By the time you notice the infestation, it may have already been 10 days or more.
How does Tomball Arborist Manage these Pests?
A small plug called ,an ArborPlug, is directly inserted into a drill hole around the base of the tree. A specialized needle is then inserted into the Arborplug and formula is injected into the vascular system of the tree. The formula is then dispersed throughout the trunk, branches and leaf tissue. The ArborPlus keeps the injected formula inside the tree, protects the drill hole, and remains inside the tree without adverse effects. In time, the tree grows right over the plug.
Why is this Method Beneficial?
Once applied, there is no mess left behind! There are no chemicals that are left in the grass or air, so it is safe for your children and your pets. The treatment is highly effective and supported by proven university studies and trials. The product used lasts for 2 years and it has long lasting effects will ensure the safety of your trees from pests for the following years.
What are NOT Suitable Methods?
Spraying the Trees: Spraying a tree is only effective for pest that actually come in contact with the insecticide. Pine Bark Beetles are embedded deep inside the tree so spraying would not be beneficial. Spraying will also kill desirable insects such as butterflies, honey bees, lady bugs and others. Spraying insecticides in not legal near waterways and is toxic to native fish. It can also be extremely messy and will wash off during periods of rain.
What does it Cost?
Application cost is dependent on amount of product used, trunk diameter and labor for application. Contact Tomball Arborist today to schedule your consultation by calling 281-803-8005 or you can fill out our online contact form.
