Complete Tree Care Services in Winnipeg

RootBoost is the perfect solution for trees that need a boost of nutrients to keep them healthy. It’s the ideal way to give your tree regular maintenance and make sure it stays strong through every season by promoting the following:

• Good root development.
• Stronger disease resistance.
• Readily available surplus nutrients to speed up new growth.

We carry out RootBoost treatments seasonally, usually in the fall. Our team will come to your home and inject liquid fertilizer around six inches beneath the soil's surface, an optimal spot for fertilizer since most tree root systems start between four and eight inches below ground.

You will benefit from thicker, brighter leaves, improved soil aeration, and increased protection from pests and disease.

It’s best to arrange a RootBoost treatment in time for Winnipeg’s cold season, which usually starts in November, so get in touch with the team at Green Drop for a free estimate to ensure your trees have the protection they need to get through winter.

Regular pruning and trimming is the key to tree longevity, and that’s the primary focus of our expert arborists. We make your life easier by offering intentional pruning on young trees and structural pruning for mature trees to keep hazards at bay and your trees looking their best. We can also recommend trimming services when your trees just need a little touch-up to maintain their shape and size.

Our team follows ANSI A-300 Pruning Standards to keep trees and shrubs looking beautiful.

Why Is Tree Pruning Important?

• Your tree will grow in an ideal shape, encouraging new growth.
• Dead or dying branches will be removed, meaning energy is spent only on worthwhile branches, and disease is stopped from spreading.
• Branches that can fall and injure someone or damage your property will be removed.

Why Should You Trim Your Trees?

• Remove any excessive branches for better shape.
• More air flow around your trees.
• You’re able to better maintain the appearance of your trees.
• The size of your trees remain consistent.

As the saying goes: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We believe this goes for your trees too! Our team offers thorough tree exams and in-depth knowledge to prevent pests and diseases through:

• Insect control – our team will help you develop a sustainable management program to prevent infestations and identify the best place to plant your trees to avoid insect activity.
• Disease control – we’ll look for signs of the many diseases affecting your trees and offer the most effective treatment options.

Dutch Elm Disease

DED is caused by a fungus that blocks a tree’s roots, which prevents it from accessing water and nutrients. Elm bark beetles spread the disease, carrying the sticky fungal spores from tree to tree. Between 2016 and 2021, Winnipeg lost an estimated 33,000 elm trees. The Green Drop team will look out for signs of DED, so you don’t have to.
