Basic Tree & Shrub Program

Four Seasonal Visits. Smart, Proactive Care.

A streamlined tree and shrub program designed to protect established ornamental landscapes through the most important spring and fall treatment windows.

We focus on plant health, seasonal insect pressure and naturally derived supportive inputs wherever practical.

Simple Doesn’t Mean Generic

The Right Treatment at the Right Time.

The Basic Program is designed around four important seasonal windows rather than unnecessary applications throughout the entire growing season.

  • Naturally Derived Where Practical

    Neem oil, humics, kelp and supportive materials are incorporated where they make sense.

  • Targeted Controls When Needed

    Broader insect or disease controls are used based on plant conditions and pest pressure.

  • Seasonal Monitoring

    Every visit is an opportunity to observe changes in the landscape and identify developing concerns.

A Great Fit for Established Landscapes

  • Healthy, established ornamental plantings
  • Landscapes without recurring summer disease problems
  • Homeowners looking for proactive seasonal protection
  • Properties that don't require frequent summer monitoring
  • Trees and shrubs with relatively predictable care needs

Need More Summer Attention?

Our Arborist Tree & Shrub Program adds two summer visits for additional monitoring and treatment opportunities during the most active part of the growing season.
