What Is Plant Health Care?

Plant Health Care (PHC) is a proactive, science-based approach to maintaining the health of your trees and shrubs. Rather than reacting to decline or disease, our goal is to catch problems early, support root and soil health, and promote long-term vitality through regular inspections and treatments.


We combine modern technology, expert diagnostics, and industry-best practices to care for your landscape in the most effective way possible.

Disease & Pest Identification

Yellowing leaves? Unusual growths? Premature dropping? These are just a few signs something might be wrong. Our certified team can:


  • Diagnose fungal infections, bacterial blights, and insect infestations
  • Identify common East Texas pests like borers, scale insects, spider mites, and aphids
  • Determine whether treatment, removal, or monitoring is the best course of action

Targeted Treatments

Once we’ve identified the issue, we implement strategic treatments such as:


  • Insecticide or fungicide applications (eco-conscious options available)
  • Root and trunk injections for quick nutrient and medication delivery
  • Seasonal sprays to prevent reoccurrence

Soil Testing & Nutrient Analysis

Healthy soil equals healthy trees. We offer professional soil testing to evaluate:


  • pH balance
  • Nutrient levels (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium)
  • Organic matter content and compaction

Soil Reclamation & Restoration

If your soil is depleted or compacted, it can choke out even the hardiest trees. We restore soil health through:


  • Aeration
  • Organic amendments
  • Compost top-dressing
  • Soil conditioners to rebuild structure and nutrient availability

We treat every property like our own because healthy landscapes don’t happen by accident. They happen with expert attention and a plan rooted in science.
