Before you can properly care for trees and shrubs, you must know what they are and their limitations. We can help you identify every tree and shrub, and can provide you with details on its requirements. You will be able to know what kind of soil it prefers, how much water it needs, when it should be fertilized, how it should be pruned. You may want to remove plants that are not suited to its sites, that have too many problems, or that require too much care. We provide detailed consultation reports for all your landscape needs.
Aphids are the most common pests associated with landscape plants in Alaska.
IPM of Alaska's treatment strategies focus on increasing the plants health and vigor and supplementing the natural enemies of aphids. Benefical Insects from IPM of Alaska can help control aphids without the use of toxic chemicals. Probably over half of the problems encountered in landscape plants are not attributable to insects or disease, instead they are the result of compacted soil, drought stress, overwatering, frost damage, and many other problems. IPM of Alaska takes into account plant health, and the ecosystem in which the plant is growing to effectively manage landscape plantings. We incorporate all the principles of IPM, including monitoring, record keeping, and integrated treatment, as well as placing an emphasis on plant health and horticultural practices.
