About This Service

Every tree planted in a landscape has positives and negatives. Some attractive trees used in landscaping are also prone to disease but are used despite their problems. The trees may require preventative fungicide treatments. These are generally performed in the spring and require two to three applications. Austrian pines, red pines, hawthorns, and crab apples are the most prone to fungus and diseases.

Problems that arise from insects such as spider mites generally happen more slowly. By the time most homeowners see damage on their landscape plants, it can be too late. You will see better looking and longer living plants when you take initiative in preventing problems and maintaining good plant health. Insect sprays do not eliminate insects from the landscape — they reduce populations to a safe level that eliminates health problems.
