Soil Management
​

Picture
​Soil Testing - is a process most arborist 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 arborist can build a treatment plan that can alter the soil to be more hospitable for sustaining plant life.
Picture
Soil Alteration - is needed when soil becomes unable to sustain life. There are many ways soil can become barren; one way is construction - can cause soil to become like clay, and stop absorbing water known as "Hard Soil".  Other alterations we make is 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 build the neighborhood. These contractors will use either clay or sand to lay the foundation of 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 @ 832-543-8933
Picture
​Soil Conditioning - is the process of applying nutrients into the soil, unlike fertilizing, 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 832-543-8933.

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 thru 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 to late.  Having an arborist who can identify markers trees leave that show they are in a state of "stress". Our Arborist will explain why a tree is in stress, and what could be the issues to be concerned with to areas that are minor and can wait. Contact us here and schedule a consultation and have your trees examined.
Picture
​Sick Tree Treatment - is a process of repairing tree damage caused by outside sources. From lightening strikes to insect & fungal infestation, our 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. 
Picture
​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.
Picture
​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.
Picture
​Insect & Bug Prevention - the best way to get rid of insect infestation is to prevent it from happening. We do this by applying horticultural oils that are environmentally safe designed to repeal these particular insects. These services are inexpensive and affordable for year round maintenance.

​Insect & Bug Eradication - We can save most trees that are recently infested with insects or beetles. Our Services are environmentally safe and also help the tree's own immune system to rid itself of the insects and the fungi they leave behind.

To the average buyer noticing signs of a sick or stress tree, can easily be missed.

Picture
Tree Cataloging & Appraisal - What is tree cataloging, it is the process of recording the type of tree in the property, how many of these species, where on the lot its located, and its health and value. Yes, that's right, the value of the tree, your trees have huge economic value. This value is based in size, health, water absorption, and energy cost savings. Tree's provide shade that can reduce the temperature in the area up to 10 to 15%. That's a reduction from 100 degrees to 85 degrees. How much value do you have on your property?

Picture
Tree Disposition Plans - Many municipalities require that a tree disposition plan be submitted as a part of the permitting process. A disposition plan usually consist of a tree survey that shows the trees plotted on a survey, an inventory which shows the trees numbered on a spread sheet with condition ratings and species and sizes, and description of the mitigation efforts to take place. This can be a very confusing process for builders, architects, and homeowners. You will likely be required to hire an ISA Certified Arborist or Forester to have the plan created. The owners of ArborTrue helped author the tree protection legislation for Texas so our ISA Certified Arborists will be able to help you navigate the process with ease and confidence.

What is a Pine Bark Beetle?

The Southern Pine Bark Beetle is a small insect that only attacks pine trees. They are attracted to trees that are experiencing high amounts of stress due to drought, malnutrition, herbicide burn etc. The Southern Pine Bark Beetle is approximately the size of a grain of rice and bores a tiny hole through the bark and into the vascular tissue of the Pine tree. These vascular layers allow for flow of nutrients from the root system of the tree to the canopy (like our veins and arteries). Although small, the Southern Pine Bark Beetle attacks the tree in great numbers so that the quantity of bore holes in the Pine can reach up to the thousands. Subsequently the vascular layer of the tree is so damaged that vital nutrients are no longer able to reach the trees foliage and the tree dies. This can take as little as 14 days from the moment the Pine Bark Beetle enters the tree. By the time you notice the infestation it may have already been 10 days or more.

Pine Bark beetle treatment Montgomery TX

How does Montgomery Arborist Manage these Pest?

A small plug, called an ArborPlug, is installed directly into a drill hole around the trunk of the tree. A specialized needle is then inserted into the Arborplug and the formula is injected into the vascular tissue of the tree. The formula is then dispersed throughout the trunk, branches and leaf tissue. The ArborPlugs 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 yard or air so it is safe for your children and your pets. The treatment is extremely effective and is backed by proven university trials. The product that we use lasts for 2 years and its long lasting effects will ensure the safety of your trees from pest for the following years. 

What are NOT Suitable Methods?

Spraying the Trees: Spraying a tree is only effective for insects that come in contact with the insecticide. Pine Bark Beetles are embedded deep inside the tree so spraying would not be a beneficial method for treated beetles. Spraying will also kill desirable insects such as butterflies, honey bees, lady bugs, assassin 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 Montgomery Arborist today to schedule your consultation by calling 832-543-8933 or you can fill out our online contact form.

We advise homeowners to adopt preventative measures by identifying the leading causes for a Pine Bark Beetle attack. 

Prevention is key when it comes to Pine Bark beetles. There are a few precautionary measures that you can take to prevent beetle entry and infestation. They are:
  • ​Act diligently before active season for Pine Bark beetles begins! Peak season for beetle activity is from March to October, however, they can remain active throughout winter. ​
  • ​Homeowners that have Pine trees need to keep a close eye out for browning needles. When a tree becomes stressed, it will produce a higher quantity of Pine cones. This is a symptom that you must not overlook.
  • ​If a fine granular or fuzzy like sawdust appears at the base of your tree you MUST call us immediately! When pitch tubes appear, they resemble small crawfish mounds, protruding from the trunk of your tree, it may be too late to save your tree at this point so call us immediately.
