Tree and Shrub Maintenance Plan by the Round
Keeping your trees and shrubs healthy and pest-free is easier than ever with our six-round program. Each round is timed to feed your ornamentals and hold insects and disease down through the season. Thinking about a fragrant evergreen for the yard? See our guide to tea olive in North Carolina and which type survives our winters.
Round One (late winter to early spring)
We inject a nitrogen-and-sulfur fertilizer 4 to 8 inches deep into the feeder-root zone, so your trees and shrubs are fed where the roots actually live.
Round Two (spring)
Timed to the start of spring insect and disease activity. The systemic drench protects for roughly 8 to 13 weeks, which holds insects down through summer with less spraying.
Round Three (late spring to early summer)
Pressure peaks here. A contact insecticide paired with a fungicide so plants do not take damage they cannot recover from.
Round Four (summer)
Insects and disease run on four-to-six-week cycles. A contact insecticide, miticide and fungicide keep your plants healthy through the heat of summer.
Round Five (late summer to early fall)
A fungicide round that protects leaves through the late-summer disease window, when warm nights and heavy dew drive leaf spot and mildew.
Round Six (winter, before bud break)
A dormant-oil and miticide application that smothers overwintering insects, mites, larvae, and eggs, for a cleaner, healthier plant come spring.
Tree and Shrub Pest and Disease Treatments
These services can be added to a regular tree and shrub care program when your lawn needs extra help with pests, turf health, soil improvement, or specific weed problems.
Pest Control
Sap-Sucking Pests
Aphids, lace bugs, spider mites, whiteflies, and adelgids drain sap from the leaves, causing yellowing, fine stippling, and early leaf drop. Azalea lace bug is the big one here in NC. Left alone they multiply fast and invite sooty mold.
Root Rot
Root rot is a water problem before it is a disease problem. Phytophthora, the soil-borne organism behind most root rot, only takes hold when soil stays wet.
Clear Communication From Start To Finish
We keep it simple — clear updates, dependable scheduling, and a crew that calls ahead and answers the phone, from the first call to the final walkthrough. Licensed and insured — for the purrfect lawn. Bundle it with our tree and shrub pest control service, and explore our other maintenance plans: Bermuda and Zoysia and Fescue.

Beyond tree and shrub care, we also handle lawn mowing, landscape maintenance, landscape lighting, tree and shrub planting, hedge and bush trimming, and lawn aeration — one local team instead of separate services.
