Tree Care in Upstate South Carolina

Full-Service Tree Care Backed by Science

At Martin Tree and Turf Care, our certified arborists provide science-based tree care tailored to each tree’s species, age, and environment. We don’t just prune and fertilize—we diagnose, monitor, and guide tree health from root to crown.

We start with a risk and health assessment, looking for signs of disease, decay, and soil imbalance. Our team then crafts a custom plan that may include:

  • Strategic pruning and crown shaping

  • Seasonal pest and disease prevention

  • Deep-root fertilization and soil amendments

Tree Planting That Starts with the Right Tree

Successful planting starts with the right match. We select trees based on local climate, soil type, and available space then plant them the right way:

  • Digging wide but shallow holes to avoid root rot

  • Setting at the correct height (never bury the root collar)

  • Backfilling to eliminate air pockets and anchor the tree

Healthy trees begin with smart planting. Let us help your landscape grow strong from day one.

Fertilization That Feeds the Root of the Problem

Fertilization is more than just feeding—it’s precision support. We use lab-grade soil testing to uncover what your trees need, then apply targeted nutrients based on:

  • Tree species and maturity

  • Deficiencies in N-P-K and trace elements

  • Root zone depth and surrounding plant competition

A strong fertilization plan can boost tree immunity, growth rate, and drought resilience.

Tree Health: Prevention and Protection

Healthy trees require ongoing care. We monitor for early signs of:

  • Fungal infections and bacterial blight

  • Bark wounds, sap oozing, or foliage changes

  • Poor soil conditions or compacted roots

We respond with treatment strategies that may include pruning, deep-root feeding, or fungal suppression—always tailored to your landscape.

Tree Risk Assessment & Hazard Mitigation

Safety starts with a certified Tree Risk Assessment. Our arborists examine:

  • Structural defects like cracks, cavities, or weak branch unions

  • Root zone disruption, soil erosion, or decay

  • Proximity to structures, power lines, and foot traffic areas

If a tree poses a hazard, we recommend appropriate next steps—often preventive pruning or bracing, but in high-risk cases, we’ll advise on removal.
