Regular health assessment is a great way to maintain the health of your trees and plants.

A health assessment allows our staff to review all aspects of your plant’s condition and look for indicators of potential issues with your plant. The earlier we can diagnose a problem, the sooner we can take corrective action to ensure the continued health of your plant.

Management of Pests and Diseases
Biological factors such as disease and insects can hurt the health of the trees and plants on your property. Our tree care service provides timely and effective options to manage both insect and disease issues. To provide control over pest populations while reducing potential environmental impacts, we utilize Integrated Pest Management (IPM). We also provide treatment options for a variety of plant diseases to help prevent further damage or loss of plants and keep your landscaping looking its best.
Trees in the Bell, CA, region are susceptible to a variety of biological pathogens and insects that thrive in the regional Mediterranean climate. Early detection and diagnosis will enable you to save a tree that has become compromised. We have received training to identify early signs of infection and infestation before it is too late, and your trees begin to show irreversible decline, and your landscape becomes less of an attractive feature of your property.
Soil Care and Nutrient Management
Your tree’s health depends upon the health of the soil it grows in. At Precision Tree Services Bell, we consider both soil health and nutrients for maximum tree performance and vitality. Soil testing is a major component of our program, as it provides the data necessary for developing specific fertilizer recommendations based on the type of soil you have, what the nutrient levels are, and what is needed. The result is that your plant material will be much healthier, less stressed, and less susceptible to disease when the soil has been improved, and there are sufficient nutrients present in the soil for them to use.
Our method also considers the full complexity of the ecosystems below the surface of your property. Urban soils in Bell, like those in many other areas, are typically severely compacted and highly alkaline (pH 8-10), which may choke off the ability of roots to grow. Therefore, we utilize methods such as vertical mulching and deep root liquid fertilization to apply mineral elements and oxygen to the root zone of your trees. As we improve the physical condition and water-holding capacity of the soil, your trees will develop a stable, nutrient-rich environment in which to perform well during periods of extreme heat and drought in Southern California.
Monitoring the Health of Trees and Plants
Continuous monitoring is essential to maintaining plant and tree health. Key components of our monitoring program:
- Seasonal Vigor Assessments: The color and density of your trees’ canopy are monitored throughout the year to ensure they respond appropriately to each season in So Cal.
- Identifying Early Signs of Stress: Many “silent” indicators of trouble may show up before more obvious symptoms like premature leaf drop or abnormally small leaf size, such as root problems or water stress.
- Tracking Pest Populations: Aphid and scale insect activity peaks during certain times of the year, but we only treat for them when their numbers have reached a level where the tree’s health will be at risk.
- Testing Soil Moisture Levels and Soil Quality: This is done periodically around all trees to monitor their pH levels and moisture retention capability needed for healthy growth.
- Inspection of Structural Integrity: Crack patterns, cavities, and lean angles are documented on an annual basis to track any changes or worsening conditions that could create safety risks.
- Adjusting Care Plans: Based upon the information gathered from these activities, we refine the strategy for caring for your trees, making sure fertilizer application and pruning are done only when the treatment will be most effective.
Trimming and Care
Proper trimming is important for maintaining the beauty and overall health of your plants and trees. Our arborists will trim your trees and shrubs with precision to eliminate dead/diseased branches, encourage new growth, and maintain their proper shape. Properly trimmed trees and shrubs will be aesthetically pleasing as well as safe from hazards that can occur from overgrown vegetation. We offer a variety of care options based on the individual needs of each type of tree/shrub.
