Integrated Approach
We don't just treat symptoms – we address underlying causes. Our holistic approach considers soil health, watering practices, environmental stresses, and cultural practices that affect plant health.
Preventive Care
Prevention is always more effective and economical than treatment. Our proactive programs help identify and address potential problems before they become serious issues.
Common Plant Health Issues in Utah
Iron Chlorosis
Utah's alkaline soils often prevent trees from absorbing iron effectively, leading to yellowing leaves. Our iron treatments and soil amendments can restore healthy green foliage.
Drought Stress
Even drought-tolerant plants can suffer in Utah's dry climate. We help identify and treat drought stress through proper watering guidance and soil improvements.
Winter Damage
Cold temperatures, ice, and snow can damage trees and shrubs. Our preventive treatments and post-winter care help plants recover and thrive.
Salt Damage
Road salt and naturally occurring salts in Utah soils can damage sensitive plants. We provide salt damage treatment and prevention strategies.
