  • Michael Monji and Associates is exceptionally professional and knowledgeable with trees, grasses, bushes, and other plants. Michael Monji is revered by many in the community since he brings 50-years of Certified Arborist experience and acts as a special witness to court cases. He educates his customers with the do’s and don’ts to tree-care. Although humbled, Mr. Monji provided quick expertise by diagnosing neighboring root damage to my property structures. When neighbors were presented his diagnoses, they acted quickly to remediate the problems because of his outstanding reputation. Bakersfield City Code enforcement also recognizes Michael Monji’s Arborist feedback.

    MARGIE MADAMBA

  • Dear Mr. Monji:
    I wanted to take minute to thank you for introducing me to PENMAX. I was a bit skeptical when you initially told me what this product could do, but after using this product for 2 months, the immediate results have been fantastic. I have dense clay soil with an impermeable hard pan about 12 inches below the service. I have tried to dig this soil in the past with great difficulty. After only one month of using PENMAX, the hard pan is almost entirely gone!
    I am sold on the effectiveness of this product. If anyone has soil problems and want to improve water penetration, I strongly recommend PENMAX.

Free Tips from the Tree Doctor

Tip #1

Most people over water. Did you know that only 1% of the water you apply on your lawn is used for growth? You don’t need to water everyday. You should have a water audit done to see how long to water. Try setting out cups throughout your yard, then turn on the water until the water starts to run off. The next step is to measure how much water is in each cup. You normally only need 1-2 inches of water per week during the hotter weather. I would recommend investing in a pH and moisture meter to get the best results.

Tip #2

To get the water to penetrate try aerating your lawn 1-4 times per year. This will open up the soil and allow the water to penetrate deeper. You can use Penmax and Liqua-Jip before you aerate. Make sure you water after applying. These products will open up the soil and allow for a deeper aerating plug.

Tip #3

pH influences turf and plant quality. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A value of 7 is considered neutral. Any number lower than 7 is considered to be on the acidic side, and any number over 7 is in the alkaline range. Most plants do well within a pH of 6 to 7. Your plants and lawn will take in more nutrients if the soil is slightly acidic. I would recommend investing in a pH and moisture meter to get the best results. In addition, soil pH influences the amount of weed you will have in your lawn.

Tip #4

Check your trees for small little holes in the bark especially in your fruit trees. This could be signs of Shothole Borers. If you have borers you need to treat ASAP before your trees start to decline.
