What Does Our Tree & Shrub Care Program Include?

Our process starts with a landscape review to determine and deliver exceptional applications, protecting your trees and shrubs against disease and insects while giving them the proper nutrients to grow and flourish.

Dormant Oil Application

We can suffocate and kill spider mites, aphid mites, and other insects by applying dormant oil to your trees and shrubs. This can also prevent scale from invading certain types of shrubs and trees.

Fertilizer

Fertilization is essential to help your trees and shrubs grow and stay healthy. Lawn Pride applies tree and shrub fertilizer by injecting it six inches into the root zone.

Insect & Disease Control

Insects can destroy your home's landscape. Letting us perform insect and disease control applications to your non-flowering plants as tall as 25 feet protects them against diseases and insect damage.

Tree & Shrub Care Tips

When you get little or no rainfall for an extended period, your plants need supplemental water to stay healthy. Watering is especially important during dry spells for non-established or newly planted trees.

We advise you to adhere to the “5 + 5 rule,” instructing you to water a tree with five gallons plus another five gallons for each diameter-inch of the tree's trunk. Well-established or mature trees require around one inch of water weekly to maintain soil moisture.

You must continue watering shrubs and trees throughout the fall season until the ground freezes to ensure your plants have enough moisture to survive winter and be prepared for spring growth. Sometimes, you may need to water your trees and shrubs in the winter if you receive limited rain or snowfall. If you need to water plants in the winter, the best time to do it is on warm days with temperatures above 40 degrees.

Why is fertilizer important?

Plants receiving proper fertilization experience hardier growth and resist insects and diseases better. If your trees and shrubs have weak growth issues, fertilizing them can help these plants overcome their challenges. Storm damage, diseases, insect feeding, and other environmental stresses can also affect your plants' health and welfare, but fertilizing them combats these stresses. Giving young trees and shrubs proper nutrition can accelerate their growth, and slow-growing species can get stimulation from it. Older plants can keep better color and health with fertilizer.

What's the best way to prune trees?

Removing diseased, dying, or dead branches from your trees or improving branching structure should be performed in late fall or early winter. However, you should limit how much green wood you prune going into winter. Limiting pruning reduces the energy reserves your plant must use to heal its wounds. For large tree branch pruning, start by making an undercut at the branch's bottom six to 12 inches from its branch union, cutting less than halfway through it. You should make your top cut above or just outside your undercut. This pruning cut lets you cut a branch away completely and remove it easily since gravity pulls down the branch naturally. By using this cutting method, you prevent the bark from ripping. The final cut goes just outside your branch's bark ridge and the branch collar's outer portion on the bottom side. You get minimal wounding and faster recovery when you make the proper cuts.
