our tree care
Free Tree Care Assessments
Barnes has a team exclusively assigned to diagnose and control tree and plant insects and disease. Our technicians are constantly updated on any local plant insect and disease problems and recommended solutions through The Ohio State University and their extension offices. We will visit your property to assess your tree(s) and make recommendations. The evaluation will include:
- Nutritional Needs: A fertilization program for trees and shrubs can enhance the leaf or needle color, stimulate growth and flowering of your landscape plant material. Our professionals will evaluate the present condition and identify special nutrient needs.
- Insect/Disease Issues: Our professionals are trained to carefully examine, identify and treat insect and disease problems with the least environmental impact.
Maintenance: Pruning, weed control and mulching are vital finishing touches that complete a maintenance program. While these steps improve the appearance, they also promote healthy plant growth and reduce maintenance. Occasionally poor drainage, animal damage or severe weather creates special conditions needing additional care which we can provide.
NOTE: Whenever possible, Barnes incorporates Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
our Soil Analysis
When a situation calls for more specific information regarding a soil's physical make-up, its available nutrients, or other growing conditions, Barnes will sample the soil and send those samples to a certified soil testing laboratory.
