FAQ

1.What is included in the inspection and monitoring visit?

  • Seasonal treatments for key ornamental plants in the landscape to address the most common pests in our area.
  • Environmental Specialists will inspect/monitor all of the listed or key plant material throughout the landscape. Targeted treatments for incidental insects and diseases will occur if required.
  • We use Integrated Plant Management (IPM) protocols to control the spread of insect and disease problems on your trees and shrubs. This IPM Approach ensures that treatments are performed at the most opportune time with the most environmentally responsible products and techniques. Not all insects are harmful; in fact many are actually beneficial to the health of your trees and shrubs. Our commitment is to keep your trees and shrubs healthy while leaving the most responsible ecological footprint possible.
  • If your property inspection results in recommendations for an intensive treatment, you will be contacted by your Arborist before this additional work is performed.
  • Inspection/treatment times may vary due to climatic factors.

  • Intensive treatments are not included.

(Treatments which target high population of insects, invasive pest treatments, cultural and root issues. Growth regulators and soil and root care treatments are considered intensive treatments.)

  • Mature tree treatments are not included.

Examples: Borer treatments, Aphid treatments on mature trees (to address honeydew symptoms), etc.

  • An active Canopy Protection Program provides a benefit of having access to all intensive and mature tree treatments at a 35% discounted rate.

The geeky passion for plant life was endearing and comforting.

I should point out that I am a first time user of any type of tree/garden type service. I have a large tree in my backyard that had become overgrown. I needed help with pruning but also advice on health and future issues from growth. Ben G. was very knowledgable and patient; his geeky passion for plant life was endearing and comforting that their concern was for the plants and not just doing my bidding to get the business. RTEC's free estimate was unlike other "free estimates" by not being pushy or "salesy", but rather informative and friendly. They worked with me on my budget and timing, and the crew that came out to do the work were quick, polite and clean. Overall great experience with a company that was personal and responsive.

Quality, Value, Professionalism, Responsiveness, and Punctuality!

Quality - RTEC utilizes well-maintained and appropriate equipment and tools...combined with expertise and skill. Value - Best results for the money! Professionalism - The staff and crew members are always courteous, knowledgeable and experienced. Responsiveness - Always "on the mark" with advice and suggestions. And, never fail to respond to questions and add clarity. Punctuality - Always prompt and dependable, whether starting and completing a project, or simply answering a call or message. We could not endorse RTEC with more confidence! We have utilized this company since 2011, and just completed our sixth major project this week. Again, they did a fantastic job. In closing, we want to specifically acknowledge the role of Ben Gotch. Ben is a certified arborist, and handles all of our business...from site-visit to estimate to project execution. There is simply no one better in the industry!!!

After Snowmageddon and the Derecho ravaged a 30-foot maple, they brought it back to life.

The RTEC team reported on schedule, and began work as expected. Proceeded on work according to the proposal, and completed timely and tidied up nicely. Especially happy that they all had the appropriate safety equipment, tools, and clothing to keep themselves safe as they worked in the trees and on the ground. Have used them for probably 10 years, and will continue to do so because of their expertise. After Snowmageddon and the Derecho ravaged a 30-foot maple, they brought it back to life ("rejuvenation," I believe they called it) rather than having to take it down and leave a huge 4-ft-diameter stump prominent in my front yard. Well done then, and good job most recently. Thanks to the team and the arborists that know their jobs!

RTEC provides friendly, reliable, knowledgeable, and responsive service. We very much enjoy working with our personal RTEC arborist and the technicians who come to inspect and treat our trees and shrubs. Their back-office folks are also accessible and good to work with. Just this week they did a great job trimming our large, beautiful oak tree which is a key part of our back yard. The RTEC team has kept our trees and shrubs healthy and looking good for years.

Best decision I made.

I have been using RTEC Treecare and arborist, Ben Gotch, for my trees and shrubs since 2009. In 2009 I was looking an arborist who would devise a plan to keep my then 25 old red maple healthy for years to come. Besides pruning the tree when needed Ben developed a root and soil management plan. He also advised putting in two cables to maintain the structural integrity of the tree during heavy wind storms. Best decision I made since not long after the cables were installed we had a derecho. My red maple had no damage!!
