Benefits of Canopy Protection

Resources: Tree Maintenance

urban trees

Our cherished landscapes are constantly subjected to environmental and human stress such as insects, disease, weather fluctuations, construction, over-or-under watering, soil compaction, and pollution. These stresses severely compromise the ability of trees and shrubs to thrive and must be addressed in order to sustain a healthy and vigorous landscape. Routine monitoring and timely treatments, through a Canopy Protection Program, can shield your landscape from these stresses which will protect your property investment and reduces expenses in the long run.

Benefits of Canopy Protection

  • Protect Your Investment: A healthy landscape can increase home values by 10% on average.
  • Safety: Routine inspections may find early warning signs of dangerous trees and branches.
  • Aesthetics: Canopy protection programs improve the health of plants and trees making their natural colors more vibrant and healthy-looking.
  • Health: Canopy protection programs improve the health of your landscape making your trees and shrubs less susceptible to disease and insect infestations.

Importance of Prevention and Early Intervention

Human hands and young plant

It may be difficult to imagine why you should invest in a year-round tree health program instead of only contacting an Arborist when a problem occurs; however, a proactive tree health program is vital for the well-being of a landscape. The best time to stop safety risks, diseases, and insects is before they cause damage.

If you wait until you notice symptoms, many diseases/insects will have progressed too far and caused too much damage. In these cases, the tree/shrub is unable to recover and soon dies.

Prevention:

  • Keeps trees and shrubs in their best health so they can fight off insects and diseases when they tree to attack.
  • Can keep trees from being attacked in the first place. Many insects/diseases attack trees that are giving off stress signals. Prevention and proper maintenance can keep trees from becoming stressed and making themselves a target.
  • Can make trees resistant to certain diseases/insects. Certain species are prone to certain diseases/insects. Preventative treatments targeted at these pests act similarly to a vaccine.

Early intervention:

  • Helps trees and shrubs recover faster and more fully from diseases, insects, stress.
  • Will reduce the chance of secondary invaders.
  • Can stop dangerous branches/limbs from hurting you, your family, or your property.

Prevention and early prevention can seem like a lot of work but it doesn’t have to be. RTEC’s Canopy Protection Program makes early intervention easy!

We have been using RTEC for years and were very pleased with the recent tree maintenance work they did for us. As always, we got good advice from their arborist Ben,. The crew that did the work is highly skilled, and they did a great job trimming our trees. They worked safely and efficiently, in addition to leaving the yard clean after they finished the work.

RTEC was at my house today to removed a large Magnolia that was badly damaged by the recent snow. They did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. They arrived right on time, worked efficiently and quickly and cleaned up so well it was hard to tell anything have been disturbed. Over the past several years, I have used RTEC for all the services I checked above, and have always been very pleased with their service and professionalism. I also appreciate that they are not eager to take down trees that don't need to come down. In this case, the damage was too extensive for the tree to recover.

Once again, RTEC has done a great job. The team showed up right on time and performed all the work that we agreed to. They kept us informed as to progress, coordinated with us concerning our maple, and made recommendations concerning ongoing support for our trees. At the end of the day, they thoroughly cleaned up the debris and left our yard in pristine condition. WELL DONE.

Not our first time but this time was tricky removal of a large dead tree leaning on a healthy tree. Quick response for estimate, good timing to removal, all clear and healthy tree still fine.

We’ve used RTEC for many years for tree maintenance and can’t say enough good things about their service. We use them for tree trimming and for regular treatments to maintain our trees’ health and deal with pests and prevent disease. Their arborist Ben has been especially helpful with advice. RTEC also been especially helpful in emergency situations, once coming to cable a massive, heritage oak in our yard right before a hurricane was about to hit. Highly recommend.

RTEC did an excellent job onsite of removing dead branches from our 80+ year old trees, and trimming other growth too close to our home.
