Our Process
Consultation & Inspection
Our sales arborist will assess your trees and determine if any nutrient deficiencies or health concerns exist. Often times, a foliar or soil sample will need to be taken to have a lab analyze the specific deficiencies that are present. This helps us understand exactly what is going on with the tree, so a comprehensive and specific treatment program can be recommended. Any foliar or soil testing will be discussed with the client.
Estimate Approval & Schedule Service
Once you have a recommended treatment plan and the estimate is approved, we will communicate with you about scheduling. Some plant health care treatments must be done at specific times of the year, or during the active feeding time of certain insect pests. Our office will give a general time frame for scheduling if the job needs to be done later in the season, and will follow up with a more specific time frame as we approach the right time for treatment. If your treatment does not require special timing, we will give a specific time frame as soon as the estimate is approved.
Technician Assessment
When one of our Plant Health Care Technicians, who are also certified Arborists arrives for the treatment, they will first check to see if the client is home so they can discuss the treatment process and any restrictions. The technician will then walk the property to understand the scope of work and measure any trees or shrubs that being treated for their diameter and/or height. This allows our technician to analyze whether there are any restrictions regarding the tree for treatment or adjustments to dosage for the tree based on size, location, canopy, and pest/disease presence.
Treatment
Once our technician has assessed the trees to be treated, they will apply the treatment to the trees following all ANSI A-300 standards for plant health care operations, as well as using the
Best Management Practices written by the International Society of Arboriculture. At Joseph Tree, we do our best to use comprehensive treatment plans that address the symptoms as well as the underlying health issues your trees face. We avoid blanket sprays, using the most up to date techniques and newer pesticides that address the actual pest, reducing environmental impact and avoiding treatment of non-target pests.
Clean Up
Once treatment is complete, our technician will notify you of any concerns or other tree-related issues they noticed while on site. The technician will also place a door hanger on your front door indicating what treatment, and how much was given to your trees. Any technician notes will also be on the door hanger. The whole site is cleaned up and any debris taken with the technician, leaving the client's property looking just as good, if not better than how they found it.
We’ll Prepare Your Invoice
After the cleanup process, your final invoice will be issued. We work to make sure every project is done to our customer’s satisfaction and exceeds expectations. The client will be notified of any follow-up treatments or additional health concerns.
