Protect Your Landscape with Our Shrub Care Programs

Your ornamental shrubs and trees are a long-term investment. Protecting them is essential to keeping your landscape thriving. Numerous insects and diseases can attack your plants, causing severe damage if not controlled. At G & H Landscaping, our Shrub Care Programs are designed to safeguard your plants year-round. We start with early spring treatments and continue through late fall, ensuring your shrubs and trees stay healthy and pest-free.

1. Spring Care: Dormant Oil Spray

In early spring, we begin with a Dormant Oil Spray. This application targets insects before they hatch, stopping infestations before they begin. Dormant oil coats the plant’s foliage and stems, killing insect eggs and larvae. By treating early, we limit the number of pests that can harm your shrubs and trees later in the season.

This preventive treatment sets the foundation for a pest-free spring and summer. It’s an effective, eco-friendly way to protect your plants from early-season invaders. In addition, dormant oil helps reduce the need for chemical pesticides later on, keeping your garden safer for your family and pets.

2. Late Spring and Summer Care: Insect and Disease Control

As we move into late spring and summer, your shrubs and trees become vulnerable to a variety of insects and diseases. That’s why we apply Insect and Disease Control Sprays during this period. These treatments are critical for controlling infestations before they cause significant damage.

We use targeted sprays that effectively combat common pests like aphids, scale insects, and borers. At the same time, we address fungal and bacterial diseases that can weaken your plants. This dual approach ensures your trees and shrubs remain healthy and vibrant, resisting pests and disease that would otherwise stunt their growth.

3. Fall Care: Fertilization for Healthy Roots

As the growing season winds down, our fall treatment includes Balanced, Deep Root Fertilization. We carefully inject slow-release fertilizers into the soil at the base of each plant. Fertilizing in the fall helps your shrubs and trees prepare for winter by stimulating root growth and development.

Proper fertilization offers several benefits, including:

  • Improved flowering the following season.
  • Increased resistance to insect and disease outbreaks.
  • Enhanced overall plant health.

By providing the right nutrients at the right time, we ensure your plants enter the winter season strong and healthy, ready to thrive in the next growing season.

4. Winter Care: Protect Against Harsh Conditions

Before winter sets in, we apply a Winter Kill Protection Spray. This treatment involves applying a thin layer of organic “sealant” to the foliage. The sealant helps prevent moisture loss caused by cold, dry winter air. It also acts as a barrier against extreme temperature changes, reducing the risk of winter burn.

Winter kill protection ensures your shrubs and trees are ready to face the harsh winter conditions. With this added layer of protection, your plants are better able to withstand freezing temperatures and remain healthy throughout the colder months.

5. Additional Shrub and Tree Care Services

In addition to our seasonal treatments, we offer a variety of Shrub and Tree Care Services to keep your landscape in top condition year-round. Our services are designed to address specific issues and improve the overall health and appearance of your plants.

Here are the additional services we offer:

Micro-Injections

Micro-injections are a precise way to deliver nutrients and pest control directly to the plant’s vascular system. This method is effective for treating stubborn pests and diseases deep within the plant.

Woolly Adelgid Control

Woolly Adelgids are small, harmful insects that can devastate trees like hemlocks. Our treatment specifically targets this pest to protect your trees.

Trimming and Pruning

Regular trimming and pruning keep your shrubs and trees healthy by improving air circulation and light penetration. We carefully remove dead or damaged branches to encourage strong, healthy growth.
