Our primary business is keeping trees alive and healthy, not cutting them down. From fruit tree spray programs to oak wilt treatment to emerald ash borer injections, we use professional-grade products and techniques to protect your trees.
Most of these problems are preventable or treatable when caught early. We diagnose accurately and treat effectively, using products and techniques that aren't available at hardware stores.
Iowa's humid springs are perfect for fire blight. We offer commercial spray programs for apple, pear, crabapple, cherry, and other fruiting trees, spring pre-bloom through fall. Stops infection before it spreads.
Full details →Oak wilt can kill a red oak in weeks. We offer detection, fungicide treatment, proper pruning (outside peak beetle season), and root barrier coordination to stop the spread through your grove.
Full details →EAB kills all species of North American ash trees. Our Arborjet-certified trunk injections are 90% effective and protect trees for 2 years. Act before the canopy is more than 50% lost.
Full details →Yellow-leaved pin oaks and river birches are a chlorosis problem, not an iron deficiency problem. Iowa's alkaline soils block absorption. We inject Mn-jet Fe directly into the tree, bypassing the soil entirely.
Full details →Named after an Iowa fungus (Tubakia iowensis), bur oak blight causes scorched-looking leaves every summer and progressively weakens Iowa bur oaks. Preventative fungicide programs significantly reduce its impact.
Full details →One soil injection lasts 3 years. Shortstop (paclobutrazol) slows top growth while strengthening roots, improving drought tolerance, reducing pruning frequency, and increasing disease resistance.
Full details →These leaf-chewing pests peak in Iowa's midsummer. We offer chemical applications to protect your landscaping during their active feeding season (June–August).
Similar to EAB, the bronze birch borer bores into birch trees beneath the bark. Early treatment with trunk insecticide injection can save infected trees.
Affects sycamore, white oak, dogwood, and many others. Causes premature leaf loss. Treatable with trunk injections in fall followed up in spring.
Attacks stressed oak, chestnut, and beech family trees. The larvae tunnel beneath the bark, disrupting water and nutrient flow. Early treatment with targeted insecticide is effective.
NutriRoot liquid fertilizer applied to the root zone, accelerates root development, reduces water stress, and improves nutrient uptake for stressed or newly planted trees.
Not sure what's wrong with your tree? We assess it. Accurate diagnosis is step one, the right treatment depends on understanding what's actually happening.
Licensed by the State of Iowa to apply pesticides and plant health care products. We have the credentials, and the expertise to use them correctly.
Arborjet certification means we're trained in the most advanced direct-injection techniques, using equipment and products not available to the general public.
Effective treatment depends on timing. We know Iowa's growing seasons, pest cycles, and disease windows, and we apply treatments when they actually work.
We'll tell you honestly if a tree is beyond saving or if treatment isn't cost-effective. We don't sell treatments that won't help.
