Trees are fun! - photos © Randy Cyr
Trees are cool.
Trees can keep a secret.
Trees bring people together (the Angel Oak).
"Saturday in the park."
Dr. Van Pelt & NTS measure the East's largest tree (The Middleton Oak).
NTS Prez Bob Leverett & Gab measure the Eli L. Muncey pine.
Who says your tree needs to be cut down? A tree 'remover?'
Fear-mongery vs. Tree Risk Assessment.
They wanted $8k to remove this healthy, stable oak!
Several recommended removal. Our diagnosis saved her oak!
'Costly' treatments by many for an "incurable" disease (slime flux).
Instead of removing this hazard they sprayed for pests.
Revolving door treatment @ $500 a year? Rotten maple (L) & Healthy oak (R).
Dying topped oaks: a groom's wedding gift 42 years ago.
They spent $4k to treat their oak which died soon after.
Instead of pushing a service we provide independent consultation.
Modern arboriculture. No chainsaws?
We won't cut your trees down. We promise!
Your ailing tree deserves a 'competent' tree doctor.
Please don't wait until your tree turns brown.
Distressed trees send up red flags. Are we paying attention?
North Carolina pest outbreak. Greentree to the rescue!
Someone has to do the dirty work. Master Arborist Randy Cyr
For the rare 'headscratcher' we have some great mentors!
After an hour the camera-shy culprit came forward. A squirrel!
The many colors of hypoxylon canker on oak. Very dangerous!
Coryneum canker on Leyland cypress (our worst tree).
The South's worst pest goes mostly unnoticed.
Kudzu jungle. We don't remove vines.
We cannot assess risk without seeing the tree.
An inventory is the 1st step towards successful management.
Before you buy have us inspect. We'll save you $1,000's.
The Easley fire chief followed our recommendations.
Several wanted to remove their trees. With our help they kept their trees!
When in dispute a good tree report keeps good neighbors.
You can be compensated for trespass.
Many trees were not protected. The owner was compensated!
We are losing our Upstate Park trees due to poor management.
Our forensic investigation helped save the Little League's oaks.
Litigation support helped our client's personal injury case.
This vehicle-injured oak owner was compensated.
"Children are a heritage from the Lord."
Never entrust the lives of your loved ones with a novice.
Tree defects the "other guys" missed!
Construction caused this insignificant cavity.
Which led to a hollow trunk & scaffolds.
A close call!
Just missed the house!
Just missed the church!
Not all tree failures miss their target.
This direct hit - involving a lengthy hotel stay - was avoidable.
The Great Ice Storm of 2004. The Upstate looked like a warzone!
1 client among thousands had property damage. We took care of them!
Land development? Not according to the trees!
Yellow earth movers = brown trees.
ANSI requires contractors have a Tree Preservation Plan.
No Tree Protection Zone = No Tree Preservation Plan.
Few builders use "TLC" around trees.
When irrigation kills trees there is compensation.
Most utility contractors have little regard for trees.
Would you feel safe living in the shadow of this oak?
More parking space.
Each oak left to right has less root space in this parking lot.
Hardscape > Root Bridge vs. Natural Landscape > Gazebo Bridge
Root flares + volcano mulching = girdling roots. Choked to death!
Buried root flares (circle) encourage root girdling (green arrow).
No root flares. Most zelkovas have died. Unacceptable!
Girdled trees replaced with more girdled trees. We are not learning!
The many red flags of tree girdling. We can do better!
Root collar excavation past & present.
This hickory was buried 5 feet.
With considerable effort we removed deeply buried landscape materials.
Reversal of fortune 1 year after de-girdling roots.
Containerized trees often develop girdling & circling roots.
Ball-n-burlap trees often come with buried root flares.
Half of "professionally" installed trees die within 5 years.
Rather than "feeding" trees, we feed soil animals, fungi & microbes.
The healthiest area oaks 2 years after fertilizing (early spring).
Soil compaction reduces pore space, air, water & organics.
Soil compaction = #1 urban tree killer
Wood chip mulch. A better, long-term alternative to fertilizing.
The results speak for themselves! We are not in the mulch business.
Too much of a good thing killed these trees (A/B).
The largest, healthiest subdivision oak is properly mulched.
Pin oaks + soil compaction > bacterial leaf scorch > dieback > decline
Rather than secondary pests, compaction, hardscape & turfgrass are our biggest killers.
Every tree & plant in the landscape has unique needs.
Sensitive landscapes require sensitive fertilizing & pest control methods.
Shade tree? More blue sky than green leaves.
Your shade tree is trying to get your attention.
The soil & trees record the landscape's history.
Nutrient deficiency? The elephant in the room is air & water availability!
Healthy soil is more evenly graduated (A), has worms (B) & smells good.
Our Wi-Fi Microscope sends images directly to our lab (oak leaf blister).
When decline becomes obvious to a layperson it's usually too late (2 & 4).
Declining southern red oaks are difficult to bring back.
The cleanup crew! When you see the ambrosia beetle's frass (sawdust) it's all over.
Our patent-pending Therapy safely corrects many root problems.
We treat stressed/declining trees that will respond to known remedies.
We don't treat severe decline, unsafe trees & culturally treatable trees.
1 more terminal patient snatched from the revolving door shamans!
Roots stymied by compaction rush into new growth pathways.
90% of treated trees/shrubs show measurable improvement in 1 month!
Revolving Door Treatment x 3 years vs. Root Zone Therapy x 1 month
99% show measurable improvement in 1 year!
We provide up to 3 years of follow-up as needed (sweetgum herbicide injury).
Some trees have a dramatic turnaround (root trenching).
Spartanburg poplar back from the grave!
More typical of Root Zone Therapy.
Our Therapy replaces costly & ineffective Revolving Door Treatment.
With cultural changes & monitoring, we put money back into owner's hands!
Trees rarely require additional treatment.
For best results owner's participation is necessary (Japanese maple).
Paying attention to the soil below yields dividends above (pin oak).
