Stronger, Healthier Plants & Trees Start Now: Proactive Care for a Thriving Landscape

A beautiful, well-maintained landscape starts with healthy trees and plants, and now is the time to take a proactive approach to plant and tree health care. In Southern and Central California, where shifting weather patterns and pests thrive in warmer months, preventative care is key to ensuring trees and plants stay strong, vibrant, and disease-free. By identifying potential risks early and implementing strategic treatments, you can protect your investment and keep your landscape looking its best year-round.

Key Plant & Tree Health Care Priorities for This Season

• Fruit Suppression Treatments – Many trees, such as olives and liquidambars, can create excessive fruit or seed drop, leading to maintenance headaches and potential slip hazards. Fruit suppression treatments applied at the right time can significantly reduce this issue.
• Aphid Prevention – Warm weather and new spring growth attract aphids, which can quickly overtake trees and shrubs, leaving behind sticky residue (honeydew) that leads to mold and staining on hardscapes. Early treatments can help keep them under control.
• Fungal Disease & Powdery Mildew Prevention – Fungi thrive in damp conditions and can spread rapidly across shrubs, trees, and turf. Certain plants, such as roses and crape myrtles, are particularly prone to powdery mildew, which weakens their health. Preventative applications help keep your trees and plants strong and disease-free.
• Soil Nutrition & Root Care – Healthy trees and plants start from the ground up. Deep root fertilization and soil health treatments improve nutrient uptake, allowing trees to develop stronger root systems and better withstand seasonal stressors.
• Pest & Disease Monitoring – Regular inspections help catch issues early, preventing large-scale damage and reducing the need for reactive treatments.
• Structural Pruning for Trees – Early spring is a great time to assess tree structure before heavy growth begins. Strategic pruning helps reduce risk, improve canopy balance, and promote strong, healthy growth.

A targeted plant and tree health care program can make all the difference in protecting and enhancing your landscape. Whether you're an existing client or exploring new landscape management solutions, now is the time to take action.
