THE TREE & SHRUB HEALTH EXPERTS
At Epperson Tree, our ISA certified arborists are equipped to deliver tree & shrub health care solutions for both residential and commercial landscapes.
WHAT DOES TREE & SHRUB HEALTH MEAN?
The objective of our Tree & Shrub Health division is to maintain or improve the landscape's appearance, vitality, and - in the case of trees - safety, using the most cost-effective and environmentally sensitive practices and treatments available. Tree & Shrub Health Care involves routine monitoring, preventive treatments, and a strong working relationship between the arborist and the property owner.

WHY CONTACT AN ISA CERTIFIED ARBORIST?
Left unchecked, insect and tree diseases can quickly turn your tree and shrub assets into liabilities.
Trees thrive when they are monitored and maintained, which is why our professional ISA Certified Arborists take the time to inspect trees and assess their condition. Routine tree health inspections are vital to managing insects and diseases and helping trees and shrubs thrive in an urban environment. Epperson Tree Arborists have the experience and training to detect many potential tree and shrub problems before they become life-threatening or hazardous. Our Arborists can also make tree and shrub recommendations, such as, species selection and placement to prevent problems from occurring in the first place. Remember, the potential size and longevity of trees and shrubs warrants special attention in your landscape. Bedding plants can be replaced in a few short weeks and a lawn in a single growing season, but it can take a lifetime or more to replace a mature tree.
Every client has different landscape objectives, so there is no standard plant health care program. Our arborist may be contacted to provide an estimate on one diseased tree or shrub in your landscape, or it may involve multiple treatments and more frequent quarterly or monthly inspections of all your trees and shrubs. The monitoring frequency and complexity of your PHC program depend on the diversity of your landscape, as well as your particular landscape goals.
Second, if a problem or potential problem is detected during a visit, our Epperson Tree ISA certified arborist will work with you to develop a solution.
