Terra Tree & Shrub Program

Most homeowners take for granted that their trees and shrubs will be healthy for a lifetime. Many environmental factors can affect your landscape plants health. Here at Terra we have developed a safe strategy to protect your plants from harmful insects and diseases throughout the growing season. We also provide the proper nutrients by using slow release fertilizer along with bio stimulants to feed the microbes in the soil which do all the work in making the nutrients available for the plant to uptake the nutrients. Our program is taking a proactive approach on insect and disease control. By using systemic insecticide injections and proper timing on foliar fungicide applications we can protect your plants before the pathogen or pest ever appear. Our program consists of 6 treatments starting in February and ending in November. Our program is designated for trees which are not larger than 8 inch caliper. Check our lawn care service area for availability. Here is what a Tree & Shrub Program consists of:
