What Our Tree & Shrub Program Includes
Our specialized program follows a year-round approach, addressing each season’s unique challenges.
1️⃣ Spring Dormant Oil Treatment – Insect Prevention
Early spring is when overwintering insect eggs and larvae begin to hatch, leading to pest infestations that can damage your trees.
We apply horticultural dormant oil, a safe and effective treatment that smothers pests before they become a problem.
This reduces populations of aphids, scale insects, and mites that can stress your plants.
2️⃣ Deep Root Fertilization – Stronger, Healthier Growth
Many trees and shrubs struggle to absorb enough nutrients from the soil, especially in urban and suburban environments where soil is compacted.
Our deep root fertilization injects essential nutrients directly into the root zone, promoting stronger growth, greener foliage, and increased resistance to disease and drought.
This ensures your trees and shrubs have the energy they need to thrive all season long.
3️⃣ Disease & Fungus Prevention Treatments
Kansas City’s humid summers create the perfect environment for fungal diseases like:
Powdery mildew
Leaf spot
Apple scab
Fire blight
Our preventative fungicide applications protect your trees and shrubs from infections that can cause leaf drop, weaken branches, and stunt growth.
4️⃣ Insect & Pest Control – Stop Damaging Pests in Their Tracks
Trees and shrubs can fall victim to a variety of damaging insects, including:
Japanese beetles
Bagworms
Spider mites
Emerald ash borers
Our targeted insect control treatments keep these pests from causing long-term damage, preventing defoliation, branch dieback, and overall plant decline.
5️⃣ Mid to Late-Season Health Inspections – Ongoing Monitoring 🔍
Our tree and shrub specialists regularly inspect your landscape for early signs of stress, disease, or pest activity.
If we notice any issues, we provide customized treatments to stop the problem before it spreads.
This ensures your trees and shrubs stay healthy, vibrant, and protected all year long.
