Well Rooted Gardens has had Nebraska Arborist Association certified arborists on staff since 2014.
Why are trees special? Trees are likely one of humanity’s most valuable assets. Trees filter carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen for us to breathe. Trees provide erosion control and keep our soils intact. When a tree shades a house, it can reduce utility bills by hundreds or thousands of dollars. Also, not maintaining your tree can cost you thousands of dollars if it falls on your home or other property. To reap these benefits, and not the losses, we want to keep our trees healthy and alive for many years. The most cost-effective way to do this is by preventing diseases, insect damage, and bad growth habits.
Tree Injections and Spraying
Sadly, all trees can have their health threatened by insects, diseases, and fungi. Prevention is easier and more effective than treatment. A single injection with an insecticide or fungicide can prevent issues for the whole season. Injections are often better than spraying because: spraying needs to be done every 14 days, it can have a negative impact on surrounding plants and animals, and it can cause a mess if near a house or car. However, in some situations spraying is the only option.
At Well Rooted Gardens, we can evaluate your situation and provide the best solution to these and other issues:
- EAB (Emerald Ash Borer) treatments
- Japanese beetle prevention
- Systemic insecticides
- Systemic fungicides
- Tree nutrient feeding
Tree Growth Training
One of the biggest expenses in home & property management, is dealing with a tree that has fallen during a storm event. A tree’s size and shape will be determined when the tree is young. If left to its own growth pattern it may or may not develop a strong trunk and proper shape. This is where a trained and experienced arborist can have a good and lasting effect on a tree. If a tree is pruned properly for the first 5-7 years of its life it is much more likely to not develop problems that in 20 – 30 years will lead to a split trunk or wounds from limbs rubbing together.
Full Tree Trimming and Removal
When a limb is broken during a storm, or a tree is ravaged by pests or disease, removing it safely can be more that a homeowner can, or wants to, take on themselves. Our trained arborists can help you with the whole process. From evaluating what needs to be done, to the actual trimming or removal of the tree, to cleanup of the debris.
We are excited to serve the communities of Omaha, Elkhorn, Gretna, Bennington,
Valley, Blair, Fort Calhoun, Ralston, La Vista, Papillion, and Bellevue.

Tree Trimming and Removal
As a certified arborist company, we love trees and love to see trees being properly taken care of. As a company that is a member of the Nebraska Arborist Association and with certified arborists on staff, we can handle most trimming or removal projects our clients have.
Tree Growth Training
The most important time to trim a tree is within its first 5 years of life. Many trees develop growth issues from a young age that will turn into disasters in 20 years. Many trees that fall or split during storms are due to improper tree growth and directional training. We offer yearly inspections of trees where we train limbs in certain directions to insure proper growth and to prevent co dominate stems.
Emergency Clean Up
Having multiple tree & landscape crews on staff, we are quick to re-rout our crews to help with storm damage to get our client’s properties back into shape after a storm. Whether it be large or small, we can help with complete tree and landscape storm damage clean-up.
