Watch the leaves and the new growth. Yellowing between the veins, undersized leaves, early color change, or branch tips dying back all point to trouble. Sparse canopies, sticky residue on leaves or the ground beneath, and holes in the bark are worth a call. Plants decline slowly, so changes year over year matter more than one bad week.

Our tree and shrub care visits are spread through the season, with feeding timed to spring and fall growth pushes and insect treatments timed to when specific pests are active. A healthy landscape needs fewer visits than one recovering from an infestation. We build the schedule after we’ve walked your property.

Often, yes, if there’s still live tissue and a working root system. The first step is figuring out why: insects, disease, drought stress, or soil that never drains. From there, its treatment plus feeding to rebuild the plant’s reserves. Recovery takes a season or two, and some plants are too far gone to save. We’ll tell you honestly which is which.

Both ends of the season pull weight. Spring feeding supports new growth and gets ahead of the insects that emerge with warm weather. Fall applications help plants store energy before dormancy. Dormant treatments in late winter handle overwintering pests like scale before they wake up.

Our program is treatment-based; feeding, insect control, and plant health, rather than cutting. That said, pruning affects how well the rest works, so if we see growth that needs to come off or storm damage that should be cleaned up, we’ll point it out and tell you when to do it.

The same footprint as our lawn work: Gainesville, Haymarket, and the Northern Virginia communities surrounding them.
