Our Tree and Shrub Care Process
At Bob Short's LawnEnvy, we provide year-round tree and shrub care to keep your plants healthy, vibrant, and pest-free. Our tailored treatments address the specific needs of North Texas plants, ensuring they are protected from pests and thrive throughout the seasons.
Round 1: Early Insect Prevention
In early spring, we apply a pre-season treatment that helps prevent common pests such as scales, aphids, and lace bugs from damaging your plants. This treatment includes Merit, a systemic insecticide that the plant absorbs and protects against pests as they feed on the foliage. The treatment lasts up to five months, giving long-term protection. We also use dormant oil to smother the eggs of insects like scale, preventing them from hatching and causing damage. This round effectively prevents lace bug damage on azaleas and scale on ornamental plants like euonymus and maples.
- Merit Insecticide: Protects against leaf-feeding pests like aphids, scale, and lace bugs for up to 5 months.
- Dormant Oil: Smothers insect eggs (especially scale) to prevent early-season infestations.
Round 2: Insect Control & Plant Nourishment
As the growing season begins, certain trees and shrubs are susceptible to leaf-feeding insects like caterpillars. We inject Merit directly into the root system to prevent these issues, providing continuous protection. This round also includes a balanced fertilizer to support the nutritional needs of your plants, helping them grow healthier and more resistant to pests.
- Merit Root Injection: Provides systemic insect control for leaf-feeding pests, preventing damage during the growing season.
- Balanced Fertilizer: Helps trees and shrubs grow stronger and healthier, supporting long-term plant health.
Round 3: Azalea Health Boost & Insect Management
Azaleas require special care to thrive. After the spring blooms fade, we apply a specially formulated azalea fertilizer that helps acidify the soil and promote lush growth. This treatment includes slow-release nitrogen and organic nutrients to improve soil health. Additionally, we apply Merit to extend pest control, specifically targeting lace bugs, through the summer.
- Azalea Fertilizer: A custom blend of slow-release nitrogen, organic matter, and sulfur to enhance soil acidity and encourage vibrant blooms.
- Merit Application: Extends protection against lace bugs throughout the summer, ensuring your azaleas remain healthy.
Round 4-6: Insect & Disease Control
From mid-spring to early fall, we apply up to three insecticide and fungicide treatments to protect your plants from common pests and diseases. These treatments also include a miticide for spider mites during the summer months, helping to prevent damage to your trees and shrubs. We also use foliar fertilizer to support plant health, ensuring vibrant color and resilience.
- Insecticide/Fungicide Treatments: A combination of treatments to prevent ornamental diseases and control damaging insects.
- Miticide (as needed): Targets spider mites during peak season, especially in the summer.
- Foliar Fertilizer: Enhances the color and health of your plants, helping them stay strong.
Round 7: Fall Tree & Shrub Nutrient Boost
Late fall is the best time to fertilize your trees and shrubs to prepare them for the next growing season. We inject a specially formulated liquid fertilizer into the root zone, where it is absorbed by your plants to provide essential nutrients for strong spring growth. This treatment ensures your plants are well-fed and better able to withstand pest problems and environmental stress.
- Deep-Root Fertilization: Injects essential nutrients directly into the root zone to support healthy growth for the upcoming season.
