Common Questions About Tree & Shrub Care

  • Tree and shrub care broadly covers water management, fertilization, pest and disease control, mulch application, pruning guidance, and seasonal inspections to ensure healthy growth and long‑term landscape vitality.

  • Water needs depend on species, soil, and weather. Generally, deep watering once or twice per week during dry periods helps maintain strong roots and reduces stress.

  • The ideal times are spring and fall — spring boosts new growth and fall strengthens roots before winter dormancy.

  • Look for leaf discoloration, premature leaf drop, spots on foliage, dying branches, or unusual growth patterns. Early detection is key to effective treatment.

  • Yes — regular pruning removes dead, damaged, or diseased branches and improves structure. Late winter/early spring is often the best general pruning time before new growth begins.

  • While basic tasks like watering and mulch are easy, fertilization timing, pest identification, soil injections, and disease management often require trained professionals to avoid harm and maximize plant health.

  • Insects like mites, aphids, and scale and fungal diseases such as powdery mildew or leaf spots can affect plants. Integrated pest management and targeted treatments help maintain plant health.

  • Yes — anti‑desiccant sprays, burlap wraps, and winter inspection treatments can help broadleaf evergreens (like azaleas, boxwoods, and hollies) better withstand harsh winter conditions.
