Unlike pesticide-centric plant health care programs, our organic nutrients are healthy for your plants. The nutrients thicken the cell walls to help the plants defend against insect attacks and be as resistant as possible to disease. Pesticides may still be utilized, but only in a targeted, limited fashion. We use pesticides which are low or no toxicity whenever possible.

Testimonials
Registered Consulting Arborist Ron Rothhaas, Arbor Doctor LLC came out to our 95 year old home in College Hill today. We live on a postage stamp but got lots of mature trees and shrubs and I had questions and concerns. He is a walking encyclopedia of information and wisdom on how to address issues. From bagworms in the arborvitae, to not enough sun on the evergreens, to shaping magnolias and cutting back taxus (hedges) we now have a game plan for moving ahead. Some of this I will do myself and if (or when) I get in trouble I'll call Ron 513-661-2673. One hour of time with the Arbor Doctor is a worthwhile investment.
Ron, I just wanted to say thank you for the the job you did in “re-woodsing” the hill in our backyard. As you can see, the fall colors are spectacular. The Parotia, in particular, is showing yellow, gold and red. And the Spring Grove dogwood is the most brilliant red, and perfectly placed. Just think of what it’ll look like in a few years when the trees start getting larger! We really appreciate your help. Thanks.
