Plant Health Care (PHC) is a proactive, science-based approach to tree preservation that focuses on maintaining the health, structure, and longevity of trees in Durango’s high-desert mountain environment.
By addressing stress factors early, such as drought, soil issues, insects, and disease, PHC helps strengthen trees’ natural defenses and prevents decline before it becomes a safety or structural concern.
At Momentum Tree Experts, our ISA-Certified Arborists use customized PHC programs, regular monitoring, and responsible treatments to support long-term tree health and protect the beauty and value of your landscape.
Plant Health Care (PHC) is a holistic approach to keeping trees, shrubs, and plants healthy. It focuses on prevention, monitoring, and treatments that address problems before they become serious, rather than only reacting when a plant is sick.
Healthy plants look better, live longer, and are more resistant to pest insects, diseases, and environmental stress. PHC helps protect your investment and keeps your landscape thriving year-round.
