Organic Treatments Improve the Health of Trees and the Environment

by | Jul 22, 2019 | Tree Service

As a homeowner in and around Madison, WI, you take pride in your landscaping. Your beautiful trees represent a particularly important feature in your yard. Replacing a mature tree takes not only money but also growing time.

Protecting your trees with regular inspections by a tree service makes proactive sense. We at ECO Tree Company can protect both your trees and the environment with organic treatments, and that’s a bonus.

Tree Disease Diagnosis

If you’re wondering if ECO Tree Company provides tree services and tree disease diagnosis in the area “around me,” we serve all of nearby Madison, Middleton, and Sun Prairie counties. We inspect your trees for signs of such diseases as:

Oak wilt
Dutch elm disease

Chlorosis, a problem with producing chlorophyll that causes yellowing or blanching in green plants

Rhizophaera needle cast, a fungal disease that causes spruce trees to lose their needles

We also look for signs of insect infestations such as:

Emerald ash borers
Bronze birch borers
Two-lined chestnut borers
Japanese beetles

When we discover signs of a disease or an infestation, we measure the trunk of the tree and judge the fullness of the tree’s crown to determine the correct “dose” for the treatment. Then, we administer the dose IV style. We drill holes into injection sites in the tree’s root flair, plug our injection system into the holes, and allow the gently pressurized treatment to flow into the tree’s vascular system, just as if the tree were absorbing water from the ground.

Unlike methods that inject the treatment into the ground, our IV method ensures that all of the treatment enters the tree. In addition, none of the treatment chemicals is released into the environment, where it could come into contact with your pets or children, affect nearby plants, or harm helpful organisms living in the soil around the tree.

Organic Mosquito Treatment in Madison, WI

In addition to our eco-friendly treatment system for trees, we’ve also developed an organic mosquito treatment in Madison, WI. We apply our lawn spray from a backpack fogger. It uses a custom blend of essential oils, including cedar extracts, that eliminates gnats, flies, and other biting insects as well as mosquitoes, but it’s safe for birds, the fish and other aquatic life around your water features, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. You, your family, your pets, and your guests can walk on your lawn immediately after it’s been sprayed. You will even love the scent.
