Your Trees and Shrubs are Too Valuable to Lose
Protect your prized investment with Plant Health Care.
Growing Healthier Plants
Your shrubs and small, ornamental trees are valuable assets. Not only do they provide beauty and curb appeal, but they also serve functional benefits like creating privacy and shade. The last thing that you want is to lose a plant and have a “hole” in your landscape. It’s an unwanted hassle and expense.
But plants can be complicated and you probably don’t know much about preventing insects, diseases, and other common issues.
You don't have to become an expert. That's what our Plant Health Care specialists are for! For nearly 30 years, we've been helping homeowners in Alexandria, Springfield, Arlington, VA, and surrounding areas protect their landscaping.
What is Plant Health Care?
Kingstowne's Plant Health Care Plan includes seven applications of specialized treatments to protect the health and longevity of your shrubs and ornamental trees*.
Although start and stop dates of treatments can vary according to weather, these rounds typically include:
- Treatment #1 (February - April): Horticultural oil
- Treatment #2 (April - May): Insect control, fungus control, and fertilization
- Treatment #3 (May - June): Insect and fungus control
- Treatment #4 (July - August): Mite control, insect control, and fungus control
- Treatment #5 (August - September): Mite control, insect control, and fungus control
- Treatment #6 (October - November): Deep root fertilization
- Treatment #7 (November - December): Antitranspirant (winter protection)
*Trees above 20 ft. are not part of our treatment plans.
Customized Plant Health Care
There are dozens of common insects, mites, and fungi that damage ornamental trees and shrubs in Northern VA. In order to prevent and treat current issues, an expert inspection is a must.
Our Plant Health Care specialists have the training and experience to properly diagnose problems and that will drastically reduce these problems over time.
And because Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape offers a full array of landscaping services, we can also provide pruning, removal, and replacement of shrubs and small ornamental trees if that is a better alternative for some problem species.
Effective Tree & Shrub Care
After proper diagnosis, our Plant Health Care technicians will use effective, cutting-edge materials to treat for insects, mites, and disease.
Our Plant Health Care Plan also includes other valuable treatments such as deep root fertilization and winter protection sprays.
In every situation, our goal is to reduce common issues and give you a healthier landscape. Leave the tree and shrubs to us. You just enjoy how beautiful they are!
