Ornamental tree and shrub care for Four Corners, MD 20916
The communities in and around Four Corners are typified by mature landscaping. As a shrub
matures, it is very difficult to replace a shrub of a large size without incurring a big expense.
Therefore it is really important to care for your landscape. The first impression of a home tends
to be a lasting impression. We have developed an eco-friendly, organically based series of
programs for our service areas.
Our experiences have led us to develop a series of custom blended fertilizers to properly treat
your landscape. We do not and have not used phosphorous for many years, before it was
known to be very bad for the Chesapeake Bay watershed. We use as many organic products as
we can from dormant oil in early spring to wax coating before the onset of the harsh, dry and
very cold winds of winter. Contact us for a free evaluation of your landscape; you will be glad
that you did.

The Tree/Shrub program will protect your investment in your landscape by controlling:
- Insects
- Diseases
- Harsh winter winds and ice
- Essential nutrients in the soil
How? Our customized 6 step program will keep your landscape healthy and beautiful.
- Early Spring: We apply a horticultural oil treatment before insects have a chance to develop. This oil prevents insects from hatching, before they can damage your landscape. We apply a balanced slow release fertilizer with micro-nutrients and iron to the root zone of your plants. These essential nutrients will promote root development, and foliage growth.
- Mid-Spring: Each plant is individually treated to protect them from spring insects (lace bugs, caterpillars, and mitts) and disease (leaf spot, scale, and rust). Nutrients are applied as needed.
- Early Summer: Each plant is individually treated to protect them from summer insects (Bag Worms, mites, and beetles) and Disease (powdery mildew, leaf spot, scale) Nutrients are applied as needed.
- Late Summer: Summer is when insect and disease problems often spread quickly. Both insects and diseases are monitored and treated as needed. Nutrients are applied as needed.
- Fall: Deep root injection to susceptible plants with systemic insecticide provides protection against harmful pests like emerald ash borer, hemlock wooly adelgid, and scale plus a fully-soluble fertilizer product that provides both chemical and biological fertility. Apply balanced fertilizer slow release fertilizer to all other plants.
- Winter: We apply a wax coat to protect your plants from drying out in the cold and ice of the winter and harsh winds.
