Tree and Shrub Treatments
Deep Root Feeding (Trees)
- Deep root feeding, or “root injection” is performed once per year. This method of feeding is effective on trees of any size- from new installs to 50+ years old.
- The purpose of deep root feeding is to assist with recovery from summer heat and stress. Fertilizer injection will counteract defoliation, maintain regular growth and prevent leaves from losing color and dropping too early.
- Root injection is the most environmentally conscious way to feed trees. The fertilizer is applied 3-5 inches into the soil, which reduces potential run off and feeds directly into the root zone of the tree.
Pest Control and Prevention (Insecticides)
- Insecticide applications are applied in liquid form to boxwoods, arborvitae and other commonly afflicted plants.
- These applications will prevent and treat pests like Psyllids, Bag Worms and Spider Mites.
- Insecticides are applied twice per year to the designated shrubs, and once per year in the lawn for fleas, tics and similar pests.
- We also offer mosquito misting (7 visits) for existing lawn application clients.
Lawn Aeration and Overseeding
Fall Aeration and Seeding (Starting at $120.00)
- Aeration relieves compaction in the soil and paves the way for new seed growth,
- Pulling plugs, or “core aerating” allows oxygen and nutrients to reach the roots of the grass and helps the soil become more porous.
- Typically done in the fall, aeration and seeing is a great way to increase turf density and culturally control weeds.
Core Aeration vs “Liquid Aeration”
We offer traditional core aeration or “mechanical aeration” where a technician uses a machine to pull plugs from the ground. Some of our large competitors offer “liquid aeration” to save time (for themselves).
Core Aeration:
- This method is tested and proven effective.
- Creates an excellent bed for new seed – Average 75% germination rate
- Delivers oxygen and nutrients to the roots of the grass where plugs have been pulled 3-4″ down.
- Relieve compaction in the lawn immediately, and helps with cultural weed control – the primary reason to aerate.
- Can be messy and is one of the more expensive services offered.
Liquid Aeration:
- New time-saving technology can be cheaper than core aeration
- No mess left behind by cores or “plugs”
- Uses a chemical method to make the soil more porous
- Must be watered within 24 hours to be effective
- Stains concreate and pavement if over-sprayed from the lawn area.
- Required repeated applications over many years to be effective.
- Though often paired with seeding, it does not loosen the soil or create a seed bed. Average 20-30% germination.
We do not offer liquid aeration since traditional core aeration is far more effective and environmentally friendly. Please contact us if you have questions about aeration!
