Diagnostic Evaluation

Atlas’ personalized service starts with a complete inspection of your property, providing a comprehensive evaluation on the current condition of your trees. We inform you of any existing or potential concerns, and advise you of all available treatment options. We then design a treatment program to meet your specific needs and expectations, involving you as a partner in the tree healthcare process.

Sub-Surface Fertilization (Soil Fracturing)

Good soil condition and nutrient content are the most important factors in the continued health of your plants. By examining your soil, we determine the composition, missing nutrients and moisture content, and then create a fertilization formula specifically for your trees and shrubs. Using our state-of-the-art injection equipment, we perform a two-step application. We first inject high-pressure air below the surface of the soil to break up compaction and provide the roots with oxygen. Next, we shoot liquid fertilizer directly into the root-feeding zone where it becomes available for absorption by your plants. We provide proven formulas to complement each phase of the growth cycle and include both immediate and time-release nutrients for short and long term health benefits.

Systemic Trunk Injection

Insects and disease can pose a serious threat to your landscape. While fertilization strengthens the immune system of your plants and helps them to withstand the damaging effects of pests and disease, it will not eliminate them. Extensive research has shown that the injection method, applied in the same manner as liquid fertilizer, is not only the best, most effective application of pest control, but also the most environmentally sensitive. Your plant health care program may include twice yearly, systemic injection for long-lasting pest and disease management.
