Question 1

What is included in the Arborist Tree & Shrub Program?

Accepted Answer

Six seasonally timed visits across the growing season, with inspection at each visit, plant-health support inputs, and insect or disease treatment applied when the plant and the pressure justify it.

Question 2

How often do you visit?

Accepted Answer

Six times per season — early spring, late spring, early summer, late summer, early fall and late fall. The two extra summer visits are the main difference from a simpler program.

Question 3

Do you use neem oil?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Neem-oil-based products are part of our naturally derived approach and are used where they are practical and appropriate for the plant and the situation.

Question 4

Do you use pesticides on every visit?

Accepted Answer

No. More visits means more opportunities to inspect and respond — not automatic broad-spectrum treatment. Broader controls are reserved for situations where plant pressure justifies them.

Question 5

What types of insects do you treat?

Accepted Answer

We monitor and manage the insects commonly affecting ornamental trees and shrubs in Northern New Jersey, including scale, mites, aphids, borers and leaf-feeding insects.

Question 6

Do you treat tree and shrub diseases?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when a disease is identified and treatment is appropriate. Many leaf symptoms reflect environmental stress rather than disease, so we diagnose before we treat.

Question 7

Do you fertilize trees and shrubs?

Accepted Answer

We use plant-health inputs such as humics, kelp and soil-support amendments where they benefit the plant, rather than applying a default fertilizer on every visit.

Question 8

Can you treat mature trees?

Accepted Answer

We care for ornamental trees and shrubs throughout the landscape. What is appropriate for a specific mature tree depends on the tree, its condition and access on the property.

Question 9

When should I call if I notice a problem between visits?

Accepted Answer

As soon as you see it. Tell us what you are noticing and we will take a look — earlier information usually means a simpler response.

Question 10

How is the Arborist Program different from the Basic Program?

Accepted Answer

The Arborist Program adds more visits, more monitoring and more treatment flexibility across the season. The Basic Program provides routine preventative seasonal care.
