Plant Disease & Pest Control in the Hamptons

White Birch Disease & Bronze Birch Borer

White birch is one of the most iconic trees in the Hamptons aesthetic — and one of the most vulnerable. Bronze birch borer (Agrilus anxius) is a beetle whose larvae tunnel through the cambium of white birch trees, cutting off the flow of water and nutrients. Symptoms begin in the upper canopy as flagging and dieback and progress downward. By the time the damage is obvious, the infestation is typically advanced.

Our certified arborist conducts birch health assessments and implements a multi-step treatment program combining preventive insecticide applications, soil amendments to reduce tree stress, and canopy management. Early intervention is critical — contact us at the first sign of canopy dieback in any of your birch trees.

Lawn & Plant Fungal Disease

Scale, Aphids & Other Plant Pests

Soft scale, armored scale, aphids, spider mites, and adelgids can silently weaken or kill ornamental plantings over a single season. Our team monitors for these pests during every property visit and treats proactively with horticultural oils, insecticidal soaps, and systemic treatments as appropriate.

Deer Damage & Deer-Resistant Strategies

Deer are among the most persistent threats to Hamptons landscapes. Beyond the visible browse damage to arborvitae, yews, hostas, and tulips, deer also serve as the primary host for the deer ticks responsible for Lyme disease. Our team develops deer management strategies combining deer-resistant plant selection, repellent programs, and physical barriers for vulnerable plantings.
