Tree & Shrub Care
Total Landscape Protection
Now It's Time To Talk Trees & Shrubs
Our Tree and Shrub Care Program protects your entire landscape investment. We offer finely tuned fertilization, insect, and disease control service for your trees and shrubs. Water, sunlight, and other nutrients all play an important role in keeping your trees and shrubs healthy. However, insects and diseases can still invade your trees and shrubs quickly, so it's important to protect them year-round. Our Program promotes bolder, brighter colors and healthier plants, creating a more beautiful landscape.
8 Seasonal Applications
To Treat and Prevent
Common, Plant Damaging Diseases and Insects
Applied January to February
We apply a slow-release, micro-nutrient fertilizer to all ornamental trees and shrubs for healthy plants and bolder, brighter colors.
Applied March to April
Insecticides and fungicides are applied to help prevent damage from insects and fungal diseases like leaf spot.
Applied March to April
More insecticides and fungicides are applied. We also apply miticides to prevent spider mites. Spider mites generally live on the undersides of plant leaves, where they may spin protective silk webs. They puncture plant cells to feed, causing damage. Additionally, supplemental fertilizer is applied as needed.
Applied April to May
Insecticides, fungicides, and miticides are applied to help prevent damage from insects, spider mites, and fungal diseases like leaf spot. Although this seems redundant, fungicides have a short residual and must be reapplied approximately every 30 days.
Applied June to July
Yes, still more insecticides, fungicides, and miticides!
Applied August to September
Yes, we apply more insecticides, fungicides, and miticides! These products help control insect populations and diseases brought on by summer stress.
Applied September to October
We use a slow-release, micro-nutrient fertilizer on all ornamental trees and shrubs, including nutrients needed to promote a healthy root system, new growth, and more colorful blooms for the next growing season.
Applied November to December
Horticultural oil is applied to smother over-wintering insects and eggs deposited to survive the winter and hatch in the spring. This reduces insect populations and initial infestations of your shrubbery.
More Blooms,
Healthier Than Ever

Tree & Shrub Care Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need tree and shrub care?
What is the benefit of horticultural oils?
How can I protect my shrubs from the freezing temperatures?
Adding a layer of mulch to your plants and garden beds will help protect the soil from sudden swings in temperature. We recommend applying a 3 to 4 inch layer of insulating mulch, such as bark mulch or pine straw, around the base of the plant.
Why is fall an important time to fertilize your trees and shrubs?
The combination of warm soil and cool air stimulates root growth in preparation for colder weather. The plant requires less energy and shifts its focus to root development. Fertilizing the plants at this time assists in building stored nutrients (aka energy) to get through winter. Although above-ground growth slows in the winter, the plants' roots never sleep.
When should I plant shrubs?
Fall is a great time to plant or transplant established (most) shrubs and ornamentals. Due to the cooler temperatures, there is less chance of the tree dying from sun scorch or drought.
When should I prune my shrubs?
Generally speaking, shrubs and trees that bloom on new growth should be pruned in the winter and early spring, while those that bloom on old growth should be pruned in late spring or summer.
