Our Tree & Shrub Care Services for Northern Virginia, Maryland & DC Properties
The Mid-Atlantic’s diverse climate supports a rich variety of evergreen and deciduous plant life, each benefitting from a unique regimen. You’ll benefit from our extensive arboreal knowledge during a maintenance service to ensure your trees receive precise care. Our tree and shrub treatments promote year-round health and controlled growth, allowing your landscape to thrive.
We recommend seven visits per year to keep your trees and shrubs in top condition. Our maintenance services include:
- Horticultural oil applications: These oils protect your trees and shrubs from pests and disease by suffocating insects and preventing fungal growth.
- A balanced spring fertilizer: Boost plant growth by replenishing vital nutrients after dormant winter months.
- Proactive treatments of insect and disease control: Early treatment for pests and diseases helps prevent long-term damage, harmful infestations, and tree rot.
- A complete balanced fall fertilizer: Strengthen your plants before the harshest winter months to improve root development and resilience.
- Optional anti-transparent to prevent winter desiccation of broadleaf evergreens: This treatment reduces moisture loss from broadleaf evergreens during the winter, helping the plants retain necessary hydration.
- Optional deer repellent applications: Don’t let deer wreak havoc on your trees and shrubs — safely deter them from feeding on your yard’s vegetation.
Keep Your Trees & Shrubs Healthy With Integrated Pest Management
Pests and diseases can majorly plague your landscaping’s trees and shrubs, leading to weakened growth, widespread damage, and vegetation loss.
With Integrated Pest Management (IPM), we use eco-friendly methods to inspect and treat plants for pests, diseases, and over-wintering egg masses. IPM combines regular monitoring with conservative, targeted treatments to manage pest problems effectively.
This approach protects beneficial insects, pollinators, and wildlife, promoting a balanced ecosystem. Our IPM services will keep your landscape thriving and pest-free while benefiting the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree & Shrub Care
Why are the leaves on my tree or shrub turning yellow?
Yellowing leaves can result from watering problems, poor drainage, nutrient deficiencies, root stress, pests, or disease. Because several issues can cause similar symptoms, identifying the underlying problem is important before applying a treatment.
How can I tell if a tree or shrub is declining or just experiencing seasonal stress?
Temporary stress may cause some leaf discoloration or early leaf drop, while repeated dieback, thinning branches, damaged bark, or significant changes in growth can point to a more serious problem. An evaluation can help determine whether the plant needs treatment or simply time to recover.
Can overwatering damage established trees and shrubs?
Yes. Consistently saturated soil can limit oxygen around the roots and contribute to root decline or disease. Established plants generally benefit from watering practices that account for rainfall, soil drainage, and their individual moisture needs.
Why does the same tree or shrub keep having problems every year?
Recurring problems can be tied to more than pests or disease. Poor soil conditions, improper planting depth, drainage issues, limited sunlight, or environmental stress may weaken a plant and make the same symptoms return year after year.
