Specialist Tree Health & Soil Restoration — North County San Diego
About Soil & Soul.
After witnessing thousands of magnificent oak and palm trees die from preventable pest infestations, we knew something had to change. Not just in how we treat trees, but WHY we do this work. That’s why we created the Soil & Soul Community Fund - because saving trees and saving people go hand in hand.
Community Impact
10% of every treatment supports local families in crisis and food security.
Real Protection
2-year protection using USDA-proven protocols. No endless quarterly treatments.
Expert Led
Mentored by industry veteran Kathy Glassey (35+ years exp).
OUR STORY
Born from a Crisis.
Built on Science.
Soil & Soul was founded in response to Southern California’s devastating palm weevil crisis. Since 2011, over 20,000 Canary Island Date Palms have been lost in San Diego County alone. The tragedy? Most of these palms didn’t have to die.
Traditional pest control companies kept using the same failing approach: quarterly surface sprays that can’t reach weevil larvae inside the trunk. Property owners spent thousands on treatments that didn’t work, watching their palms die anyway.
We specialize exclusively in palm health and soil biology. We’re not a general pest control company. We do ONE thing exceptionally well.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Jamie Bowers,
Owner & Tree Health Specialist.
Jamie founded Soil & Soul with a clear mission: provide Southern California property owners with effective, science-based tree and soil protection that actually works - without the runaround.
"I started this business to solve a real problem, not to create another job for myself. My goal is building a scalable, systems-driven company that provides superior service while allowing me time with my family. When clients succeed - when their landscape thrives and their soil improves - that’s the win."
