Beautiful Plants Start With Healthy Plants

Shrubs and ornamentals can take years to mature, and replacing established landscape plants gets expensive. Our Shrub & Ornamental Program is designed to protect your investment by identifying problems earlly, supporting healthy growth and providing targeted protection through all seasons.

Shrub & Ornamental Care

Your lawn is only one part of a beautiful landscape.

Trees, shrubs and ornamental plants represent a significant investment in your property. Our 6-round Shrub & Ornamental Care Program combines proper plant nutrition, preventative care, seasonal monitoring and targeted pest management to help keep your landscape healthy, vibrant and protected throughout the year. 

Program Details

Round 1 : Dormant Protection
 
Winter gives us an opportunity to address certain pests before spring growth begins. Horticultural oil treatments help us manage overwintering populations of scale insects, mites, aphids & other pests
 
Focus : Overwintering Pests, Scale & Mites

Round 2 : Feed & Protect

Early spring arrives and the plants begin actively growing. Nutritional demands increase along with spring pest activity. Targeted preventative insecticide treatments are paired with a slow-release fertilizer to provide nutrients.

Focus : Spring Nutrition, New Growth, Scale & Aphid Control

Round 3 : Protect New Growth

Tender spring growth can attract a variety of landscape pests. We’re inspecting plants for lace bugs, aphids, mites and other pests. Warmer and more humid weather begins to favor disease & fungus development.

Focus : Disease and Fungus Prevention, New Growth Protection, Insect Control

Round 4: Heat+Insect+Disease Defense

North Georgia summers can be stressful on ornamental plants. Heat & humidity combined with drought stress and elevated insect activity can combine to weaken plants. This round is all about preventing an outbreak of disease.

Focus : Heat Stress, Mites, Scale,  Beetles, Fungal Disease Prevention

Round 5 : Strengthen & Recover

As summer heat moves out, we shift our attention towards recovery and preparing plants for the seasons ahead. The final feeding of the year takes place and replenishes the plant’s nutrients and strengthens the root system. 

Focus : Root Health, Fall Mite Activity, Scale, Reducing Plant Stress

Round 6 : Protect & Prepare

Our final visit of the year prepares plants for winter while helping suppress overwintering pest populations. Horticultural oil is applied to plants to target scale, mites, aphids and insect eggs before the next season begins.

Focus : Overwintering Pests, Scale, Mites, Winter Preparation
