Tree Care Services from Arborists in Downingtown, PA

Our Services

When you choose a Certified Arborist to care for your trees, you’re ensuring that they get the best possible care. Rick’s Certified Arborists uses the latest scientific research in developing our management techniques to maintain your trees’ health and provide you with beautiful landscaping that you’ll enjoy year-round. Our personalized solutions are tailored to both your needs and the needs of your property. Services include:

Property Inspections – Just like with your own health, preventive care is key when it comes to trees. We recommend property inspections in the spring and fall, which allows us to closely monitor your trees’ health, identify potential challenges, and treat minor problems before they become serious and compromise the health of your trees.

Deep Root Feeding – Deep root feeding involves placing a pipe in the ground near the roots of a tree or shrub; we deliver an optimized mix of liquid nutrients through this pipe to ensure healthy growth. The solution we use is non-toxic, eco-friendly, and safe for children and pets. For best results, schedule deep root feedings in the spring and fall.

Soil Injections – Soil injections protect your trees from disease and pests with minimal exposure to the rest of your property because targeted pesticides are injected directly into the soil, around the base of the tree.

Trunk Injections – Trunk injection is another method of controlling pests and disease without exposing your property to pesticides. Because trunk injections are targeted, they’re an economical way to achieve quick results. We use trunk injections for Emerald Ash Borers in King of Prussia.

Emerald Ash Borer Treatment – Emerald Ash Borers can quickly kill ash trees when undetected, which is why our approach to treating them involves regular inspections so we can spot Emerald Ash Borers at the first sign of damage. This gives us the best possible chance to halt the infestation and restore your tree’s health.

Spotted Lanternfly Treatment – Our spotted lantern fly treatment in King of Prussia involves using targeted trunk injections that begin working in as little as 24 hours. These swarming insects feed on ailanthus trees, apple trees, cherry trees, birch trees, pines, maples, willows, and oaks, leaving weeping sap, sticky honeydew, and black sooty mold in their wake. 

Growth Regulation – We use soil injections of growth regulators to slow the natural growth of trees, improving their health and decreasing the need for regular pruning and maintenance.
