Had a great time performing a structural clearance trim in Milford MI!

We are often approached to remove large branches / leads that are extending over houses. This is rarely the best path forward and likely increases the risk to your house for the following reasons:

1) Every cut is wounding the tree

2) the larger the cut, the less likely the tree is able to compartmentalize (heal) the wound

3) The inability to compartmentalize (heal) increases the risk of rot and decay, disease and infections, and pest infestation

4) Rot and decay, disease and infection, and pest infestations increases the overall risk a tree poses to a house.

The good news is you're just a phone call away from talking to Milford's premier Arborist team! Give us a call and learn how we can accomplish your goals without increasing risk to your property!

Our shop dog Tulip 🌷 was able to take a day off from protecting the Ascension Tree Care HQ and see the boys in action! Not sure who approved this leave of absence, but that’s a discussion we’ll have with HR another day.

Ever wonder why your tree or plant is riding the struggle bus?

If you live in a residential area, it's almost guaranteed that your soil conditions are less than ideal (to put it mildly).

This is why the foundation of our Plant / Tree Health Care program is Soil Health. Good soil health is a requirement for a plant's ability to fight off infections, pests, and heal wounds.

Read the blog below to learn about our deep root fertilization program and how we can increase water retention and nutrient availability for your trees, shrubs, and plants!

Our client had a severe boxwood moth infestation that we started treating a month ago. Super exciting to see how effective our treatment has been! Notice all the new growth (lighter green leaves) around the dead areas (where the 🐛 had been feeding)

Do your spruce trees look like they're dying from the inside out? Odds are they're dealing with a form of needle cast. Learn more from Arborist Dan's blog post below!

We are seeing a ton of Boxwood Moth 🐛 in our area. If you're a homeowner with Boxwoods, here's what you need to know:

🚨 Caterpillar feeding causes rapid defoliation leading to death of plant (see second pic)
🚨 We can treat but early detection is KEY 🔑
🚨 Cost of treatment is typically 1/4 of the cost to remove and replace
🚨 Soil health and stress management are important to help plants recover

Early Signs of infestation:

🚨 Webbing of leaves
🚨 Hollowed out leaves (they don't like the crust)
🚨 Greenish / Blackish frass (caterpillar droppings)
🚨 Dieback and browning from heavy feeding

While Jingles clearly wanted to be part of the pack dragging brush, we determined it’d be best he he stayed in and focused on healing his hurt paw. Takes a special dog to remain positive while wearing a cone of shame.

The day is finished, the trucks are parked and we are CLOSED! The crew has earned a well deserved break to celebrate Independence Day with friends and family!

If you need anything we will be monitoring phones / email, but response times will be delayed as we'll be on a beach or something.

We'll see you the 7th!
