Pest and disease monitoring targets borers, scale, and fungus common to city plantings, using precise treatments that respect pollinators and pets.

Seasonal strategy

Spring: shape fresh growth, remove deadwood, and spot pests before populations surge.

Summer: manage heat stress with mulch, watering guidance, and canopy thinning that increases airflow without scalping shade.

Pre-winter trimming limits breakage and reduces gutter buildup.

Winter: perform structural assessments and selective removals when sap flow slows and sightlines are clear.
