4 Reasons Why You Need Plant Health Care

A lush landscape is the picture of health. And if that’s your goal, it’s time to give your plants a check-up. Dig into plant health care to find out what it is, and why it’s the prescription your landscape needs now.

What is Plant Health Care?

Plant health care is a comprehensive approach to ensuring your landscape’s vitality. It takes into account all the factors that could influence the health of your landscape, such as soil compaction, disease, watering, pests, and more.

What Does Plant Health Care Do?

Simply put, plant health care is an investment in the longevity and appearance of your landscape. Plant health care achieves this by:

1. Helping Your Landscape Get Its Vitamins and Minerals

Soil testing enables us to literally look beneath the surface of a problem to see what’s really going on. It tells us whether the soil needs amendments to correct deficiencies or adjust the pH to meet your plants’ optimum levels.

2. Ensuring Your Landscape Makes the Cut

Regular pruning isn’t just for shaping. It also allows us to remove diseased plant material and maintain good spacing. This ensures all your plants are getting proper sunlight and helps prevent non-beneficial pests from taking up residence.

3. Making Sure Everyone Stays Hydrated

Just like you need a certain amount of water each day, your plants have specific needs, too. This can vary from one plant to another. Overwatering, underwatering, or applying water in the wrong way each comes with its own set of problems. Plant health care ensures the right watering techniques are used for each plant.

4. Addressing What’s Bugging You

If you’ve got unwanted guests hanging around your landscape (read: pests), plant health care will give them the boot. Plant health care does this in a few ways: through proactive monitoring to catch problems early, timely application of controls, and
preventative measures. Your program is tailored to you and can include organic or non-organic pesticides, depending on your preferences. The best part of plant health care is that it’s flexible and cost-effective. Your plan evolves with your landscape and helps prevent costly problems down the line. It’s easy to make plant health care part of your landscape maintenance. Simply give us a call and set up your free consultation.
