Keeping It Green

plant health care Denver

Plant Health Care (PHC) means taking a holistic and comprehensive approach to tree, shrub, and lawn care. Most yard landscapes mix trees, shrubs, and turf, where plants compete for water and nutrients with their intermingled root systems. Grass fertilizers and herbicides may impact the appearance of trees. Conversely, tree pruning and insect control may affect the vitality of the underlying grass. Do not water lawns in the winter because the grass is dormant. Conversely, due to Denver’s arid climate, trees need watering during the colder months.
