Innovation

Through organic and other alternative methods to harsh chemicals and pesticides, they offer a variety of services including insect damage control, disease prevention, and professional pruning.

• Jacqui and her husband Jack realized that they could offer a higher level of care for peoples’ residential and commercial properties without harming the environment. Their combined years of experience include business and plant healthcare.
• Jacqui and Jack treat these sick plants by creating their own pesticides with herbs and essential oils, thus minimizing the effect these treatments might have on neighboring plants and animals nearby.
• When asked about this process Jacqui responded "Well, we provide organic pesticides and treatments because what better way to treat the Earth than with its own resources!"

Inspiration

Jack has 15 years experience in the horticulture business ranging from interning at a local gardening center to managing the top tree companies in the area. These adventures further fueled his passion for what he does and his desire to open up a business he could call his own.

Jacqui started off her career in the education field and transitioned into corporate America a short period after. Almost a decade into climbing the corporate ladder she began to feel as though she could do more. She knew she had the knowledge and drive to become successful; it was just a matter of figuring out which project to partake in.

With many years of experience in the Landscape field (Jack) and equally as much in business (Jacqui) and seeing people constantly cutting trees down instead of saving them, Jack and Jacqui saw an opportunity to grasp a new market in Plant Healthcare.

Many people have never even heard of it, thus making it a perfect way to spread awareness of what Plant Healthcare can do to not only one tree or small neighborhood, but also the huge impact it can have on the world. Through education and raising awareness, their company is quickly growing.

“Your yard is your sanctuary and we work to protect that, by not harming your kids, pets, or other plants in the process.”

Overall impact

Pristine Plant Healthcare uses only innovative and earth friendly products when treating their properties. (Did you know you could inject a tree like you do a sick person?) By using organic products they minimize their use of synthetic materials. (Many plant oils and other insects are used.)

Pristine Plant Healthcare is a totally paperless company! It wouldn’t make any sense to kill trees while trying to save them!

Business benefit

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is huge and booming. Companies are looking for sustainable companies to hire and maintain their properties.

Saving and treating trees as opposed to cutting them down can be a huge cost savings, with tree removal costing thousands of dollars compared to up to hundreds for treatment.

This business is extremely scalable and able to grow quickly.

Social and environmental benefit

We need as many trees as we can save to breathe and enjoy what Mother Earth has to offer.
