Not All Tree Care Is Created Equal—Ours Is Rooted in Science and Experience

At Bayou Tree Service, tree care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our liquid program is part of a customized, science-backed approach to tree health—designed to keep your trees strong, resilient, and thriving through every season.

With over 45 years of experience caring for Louisiana landscapes, we’ve developed a tree health care strategy that blends arboricultural science with the kind of insight that only comes from decades in the field.

At the heart of this program is Matt Repp, our Tree Healthcare Manager, who brings both expertise and dedication to every plan we design. Matt works hand-in-hand with our certified arborists and clients to ensure each tree receives exactly what it needs—whether that’s a preventative treatment, a nutrient boost, or seasonal monitoring. His commitment to detail and long-term tree health means you’ll see real results in your landscape, not just promises.

Our team of 16 certified arborists has extensive hands-on experience with our liquid applications and understands how to adjust them based on species, season, and site conditions. That knowledge is what makes the difference between a temporary fix and a lasting solution for healthy trees.

Insect & Disease Control

Our liquid treatments go far beyond routine spraying—they’re part of a strategic plan to protect your trees’ health from the most common and most destructive threats in our region.

Buckmoth caterpillars, a seasonal hazard in South Louisiana, are controlled through targeted treatments that protect both your trees and your outdoor spaces.
Texas Palm Decline, a deadly bacterial infection, is treated using OTC (oxytetracycline) trunk injections that can help slow the disease and extend the life of vulnerable palms.
Crape myrtle bark scale, a stubborn invasive pest, is managed through well-timed systemic treatments that restore your trees’ natural beauty.
Fungal infections like root rot, leaf spot, and sooty mold are diagnosed and treated with precision to prevent long-term damage.
Termite control isn’t just for your home. When termites target trees, our arborists step in with specialized solutions to protect root systems and stop the spread.

All of these treatments are selected and applied based on species, timing, and severity—nothing is off-the-shelf or automatic. It’s tree health care that’s smart, responsive, and effective.

Custom Fertilizations

At Bayou Tree Service, fertilization isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s a thoughtful step in supporting long-term tree health.

Sometimes, we’ll take a soil sample and send it to the LSU Agriculture Lab for a closer look at your soil’s nutrient levels and pH. But more often, your concerns—paired with what we see during an on-site consultation—can tell us a lot.

Our certified arborists assess everything from leaf color and bark texture to root exposure and overall vigor. That insight helps us understand what your tree is missing and how we can bring it back into balance. From there, we create custom-blended liquid fertilizations that support healthy root development, vibrant foliage, and lasting tree vitality—all tailored to your property’s unique needs.Whether your tree needs extra support to bloom, rebound from stress, or simply look its best again, our fertilization program gives it the nutrients it needs, when it needs them most.

Our Experience-Based Tree Health Care Program

Our Tree Health Care Program is built on a simple idea: trees in urban environments need extra support to stay healthy. In nature, trees benefit from the constant cycle of organic matter falling to the forest floor. In our landscapes, that cycle is interrupted—so we replicate it.

Bayou Tree Service provides seasonal applications of essential nutrients, disease prevention, and targeted insect control. Each plan is customized by one of our 16 certified arborists to meet your tree’s specific needs—based on species, soil condition, and overall health.

This isn’t a one-time service—it’s a long-term investment in the health of your trees. Our liquid treatments help your trees push new growth in spring, recover from summer stress, and prepare for fall and winter.

When you’re part of our Tree Health Care Program, you’re not just getting treatments. You’re getting a dedicated team, led by professionals like Matt, who are truly committed to the long-term health of your trees.

Why We Do This

At Bayou Tree Service, we believe trees are more than landscape features—they’re living, growing legacies that deserve thoughtful, expert care. Our tree health care program, and the liquid treatments that support it, exist because we want your trees to thrive—not just survive.

Whether you’re caring for a century-old live oak or a newly planted tree, our goal is to give every tree on your property the support it needs to flourish.
