Fabien Martin is highly skilled and knowledgeable in all forms of tree work, that is why he created a specialized team devoted entirely to tree work. No tree is an inert or isolated being, each root strengthens the soil, exchange nutrients with surrounding plants. Each individual changes the wind pattern, protects the garden from winter frost and summer sunburn.
Rocco Gilli, our experienced tree worker, works his magic to give your trees the optimum care they require. He is passionate about trees and for 11 years has worked with the region's greatest tree workers, taking the time to learn, and explore with them each aspect of the trade, until he mastered them perfectly. It is with love and respect for trees and nature that he practices his art.
Tree assessment
We travel to each site, and take the time to analyze the tree and its environment in order to deliver the most relevant opinion. Martin & Martin works in an ecological dynamic, we make every effort to guarantee the beauty of your places and the health of your plants through sustainable methods.
Once we have made a full assessment carried out, we recommend the Care & Interventions Following:
1. Tree felling
As much as possible, we make every effort to preserve your trees. But when necessary, we will safely cut a dangerous or sick tree down and dispose of it.
2. Guying
When a tree is unsteady or leaning, due to a storm, or following its transplantation or even after root disturbance, we can work at realigning it. Cables or ropes are attached to the trunk and anchored, in order to stabilize and secure the tree while allowing it to take root or extend its lifespan without endangering the people living around it.
3. Pruning and Pruning
Our certified climbers are equipped with a telescopic cherry picker, as well as all other necessary equipment, to work to safety standards in all situations.
- Tree shaping
- Securing large trees
- Fruit tree pruning
Where appropriate, we leave dead branches that will serve as shelter for birds and insects, therefore participating in the biological balance of the garden.
4. Biological treatment
Use of gentle, biological methods to control pests and diseases, such as the palm weevil or the processionary caterpillar.
- Use of pheromones for deterring reproduction
- Setting up of insect traps
- Installing bird nest boxes for species that will eat pests
Preventive and curative biological treatments
5. Floor cleaning
All soil has a history, some old activities leave traces. A sick tree may suffer from the presence of certain metals in the soil. We remove lead and other toxic materials from the soil to allow the tree to recover its health.
