Trees are valuable long term investments. Trees are beneficial to our landscapes, communities and environment. The professionals at Archon Tree Services are dedicated to providing services that preserve the safety, health and appearance of trees. Our strategy is proactive with an emphasis on the health of the trees rather than a reactive response to symptoms of problems. We achieve this through a multi-dimensional management strategy and techniques aimed at protecting and enhancing tree health. We have found that most effective results are obtained when treatments are organized into an integrated system with specific treatments for each specific situation.

Most landscape tree and shrub problems are due to environmental factors such as poor growing conditions, temperature extremes, poor water management, soil compaction or mechanical injury. Poor environmental conditions can cause a tree stress, resulting in trees being more susceptible to pests and diseases.

Once a tree or shrub disease is identified, the next step is to develop a management strategy which may involve on or more tactics. Some cultural disease management methods prevent disease problems by keeping plants healthy and growing vigorously while other methods address specific disease problems. We use a combination of methods with the goal being not only to identify and recommend the best treatment option, but also to increase the trees own ability to resist diseases.

Our strategies for management of tree problems include environmental, organic, and when necessary, chemical treatment options. Often we will recommend a combination of these strategies to obtain the most thorough, long lasting results. Threshold levels vary depending on the client, the tree or shrub and the pest. We take these factors into consideration, along with cost,  effectiveness and environmental impact when creating a customized pest management strategy.
