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.
