Ornamental tree and shrub care for Mitchelville, MD 20774

Many of the homes in Mitchellville are located on what was until very recently farm land or treed. We are physically located very near the community and have numerous clients in the community. Our service orientated quality approach is very well known. Leading the way with organically based custom mixed fertilizers we are fully cognizant of the importance of using appropriate products.

We will send a trained tech to your home at least six times per year to inspect and then apply the appropriate product. The importance of 'custom blended' products cannot be overstated. Through careful use of dormant oil's, wax coating and blended fertilizers we can help provide the shrubs needed nutrients. A strong, healthy plant will be able to with stand insects invasions.

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.
