Comprehensive Tree and Shrub Care Services in Lawrenceville, Buford, and Metro Atlanta

Living in Metro Atlanta offers many benefits, from its vibrant communities to its beautiful natural surroundings. However, maintaining that beauty, especially when it comes to your trees and shrubs, can be a challenge. While the region's mild winters make life comfortable for residents, they also provide the perfect environment for pests and diseases to thrive. Trees and shrubs in Lawrenceville, Buford, and the greater Metro Atlanta area need specific care to stay healthy and vibrant year-round.

At Pride In Landscapes, we understand these unique challenges and offer specialized tree and shrub care services designed to protect your landscape from pests, diseases, and environmental stressors. Let’s explore how our tailored approach can help maintain the health and appearance of your trees and shrubs, ensuring they continue to enhance your property’s value and appeal.

Why Professional Tree and Shrub Care Is Essential in Metro Atlanta

Metro Atlanta’s unique climate requires a specific approach to tree and shrub care. Here are a few reasons why professional care is crucial:

1. Pest Control: The mild winters in Metro Atlanta do not always kill off pests. Instead, insects such as aphids, lace bugs, and spider mites find shelter in trees and shrubs, causing damage when they re-emerge in the warmer months.

2. Disease Management: Common diseases like powdery mildew and leaf spot can quickly spread and weaken trees and shrubs. Without timely treatment, these diseases can cause long-term damage or even kill your plants.

3. Nutrient Deficiency: Healthy growth depends on adequate nutrition. Foliar fertilization helps trees and shrubs to grow stronger, produce more flowers, and be more resistant to pests and diseases.

4. Environmental Stress: Trees and shrubs often face environmental stressors such as drought, temperature fluctuations, and pollution. Professional care helps to mitigate these challenges and promotes resilience in your landscape.

Our Elite Tree and Shrub Care Program: 7 Annual Treatments for Comprehensive Protection

Our Elite Program offers a comprehensive tree and shrub care plan that includes seven annual treatments, specifically designed to address the unique challenges of Metro Atlanta. Here’s a breakdown of how each application works to keep your trees and shrubs healthy year-round:

Application #1: Dormant Oil Treatment

In the early part of the year, we apply a dormant oil treatment. This essential first step coats the leaves and stems of trees and shrubs with a thin layer of oil, effectively smothering overwintering insects such as aphids, spider mites, and scale insects. This non-toxic treatment is safe for your plants and provides a protective barrier that:

• Prevents pests from becoming active in spring.
• Helps make your trees and shrubs more resistant to diseases.
• Enhances drought resistance by protecting leaves from stress and damage.

Application #2: Pesticide and Fungicide Combination Treatment

The second application in our program targets both insects and diseases. We apply:

• A Pesticide: This treatment is designed to control common pests such as aphids, lace bugs, and leafhoppers, which can cause significant damage to leaves and stems.
• A Fungicide: This treatment helps to combat fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and leaf spot, which are particularly prevalent in the damp, humid conditions typical of Metro Atlanta.

This dual-action treatment ensures that your trees and shrubs are protected from a wide range of threats early in the growing season.

Application #3: Spring Fungicide, Insecticide, and Foliar Fertilizer

The third application is a combination of fungicides, insecticides, and a foliar fertilizer designed to protect and nourish your trees and shrubs:

• Fungicide: Continues to protect against diseases like powdery mildew and leaf spot, which can weaken or kill plants if left untreated.
• Insecticide: Targets pests such as aphids, lace bugs, and leafhoppers that are particularly active in the spring.
• Foliar Fertilizer: A liquid fertilizer is applied directly to the leaves, providing essential nutrients that promote healthy growth, vibrant color, and increased resistance to stress.

This treatment is designed to enhance the appearance of your trees and shrubs while also providing robust protection against pests and diseases.

Application #4: Miticide, Insecticide, and Fungicide Combination

Midway through the growing season, we apply a combination of a miticide, insecticide, and fungicide to address a wide range of potential issues:

• Miticide: Targets spider mites, which are common pests in the Metro Atlanta area. These tiny insects can cause significant damage if left unchecked, leading to yellowing leaves and reduced plant vigor.
• Insecticide: Controls a broader range of pests, including aphids, lace bugs, caterpillars, and Japanese beetles. These pests are known for feeding on leaves, flowers, and stems, which can weaken your trees and shrubs.
• Fungicide: Continues to provide protection against diseases like powdery mildew and leaf spot, ensuring your plants stay healthy and free from harmful pathogens.

This application provides a multi-faceted defense against both insects and diseases, keeping your landscape looking its best.

Application #5: Insect and Disease Monitoring and Targeted Treatments

As the summer progresses, our team will conduct regular monitoring visits to assess the health of your trees and shrubs. We check for signs of pest infestations or disease outbreaks and apply targeted treatments as needed. This proactive approach ensures that any emerging issues are addressed promptly, minimizing damage and maintaining the health of your landscape.

Application #6: Late Summer Fertilization and Pest Control

In the late summer, we apply a granular fertilizer to replenish nutrients in the soil and support strong root growth going into the cooler months. Additionally, we continue to monitor and treat for pests, particularly those that may become more active as temperatures begin to cool.

Application #7: Fall Preparation and Final Pest Treatment

Our final application of the year focuses on preparing your trees and shrubs for the winter months. We apply a final round of insecticide and fungicide treatments to ensure that any remaining pests are eliminated and that your plants are protected from diseases during their dormant period. This application helps to ensure that your trees and shrubs will emerge healthy and vibrant in the spring.
