This involves all aspects of the arboriculture industry. Proper planting, pruning, fertilizing and monitoring are critical to maintain the vigor and vitality of trees and shrubs. Cultural and maintenance practices are used first to eliminate and reduce the factors that stress or predispose a tree to further insect and disease attacks.

Our policy of using low toxicity products at the correct timing of vulnerable insect stages is the basis of our spray treatment programs. And although there is a wide range of products available, Shady Lane uses the most environmentally friendly product and method for each particular insect or disease.

While we recognize results are paramount, the method of treatment also has a role in the decision process. Therefore we have at our disposal other methods such as Maujet injections, pheromone traps, biological products and beneficial insects.

Plant Monitor Program

The Plant Monitor (PM) program is Shady Lane’s unique interpretation of Plant Health Care philosophy. It is a program that incorporates the needs of the site, client expectations and management techniques to maintain a healthy and vigorous landscape. A trained, specialized Certified Arborist will perform site visits and implement and recommend effective strategies to promote the long-term health of your landscape.

The PM program is available as a tool for all aspects of property sizes and needs. Homeowners will find their gardens healthier and more beautiful, commercial property managers will see increased value in their sites and golf course superintendents will find it useful for maintaining high profile areas such as the club house, signature holes and greens.
