Tree and Shrub

Maryland Tree and Shrub Program (Up to 20 Feet)

In addition to caring for your lawn with one of our custom lawn care programs, we can also care for you trees and shrubs. Our tree/shrub program has been exclusively designed for the climate and specific types of plants that grow in Maryland. Your technician will inspect and care for your landscape throughout the year with six scheduled visits.

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: We apply a balanced slow release fertilizer to the root zone of your plants. This stimulates root growth to strengthen plants for the winter.



• Winter: We apply a wax coat to protect your plants from drying out in the cold and ice of the winter and harsh winds.
