Protecting your landscape investment from environmental stresses and wildlife damage is crucial for maintaining its beauty and vitality. Learn how to safeguard your plants against common threats through proper preventive care and professional protection services.
Insect & Disease Management
- Early Detection
Regularly inspect plants for warning signs such as leaf discoloration, distorted growth, or unusual spots. Early identification of problems prevents extensive damage. - Professional Diagnosis
If you notice any plant abnormalities, our Specialty Gardeners provide expert diagnosis and targeted treatment recommendations for optimal plant health. - Preventive Care
Regular monitoring and maintenance help prevent pest and disease issues before they become severe. Our integrated pest management approach focuses on prevention first.
Proper Mulching Techniques
- Optimal Coverage
Maintain a 2-inch layer of shredded bark mulch around plants and over root zones. Annual mulch renewal ensures consistent coverage and benefits. - Key Benefits
Quality mulch conserves soil moisture, suppresses weed growth, prevents erosion, and regulates soil temperature. As it decomposes, it enriches soil with organic matter. - Professional Application
Our team ensures proper mulch depth and placement, avoiding common mistakes that can damage plants or encourage pest problems.
Deer Damage Prevention
- Assessment & Planning
We evaluate your property's deer pressure and develop a customized protection strategy combining repellents, physical barriers, and plant selection. - Regular Treatment
Monthly deer repellent applications provide consistent protection during peak browsing seasons. Our professional-grade repellents are weather-resistant and safe. - Physical Barriers
For high-risk areas or particularly valuable specimens, we can install protective netting or fencing to prevent deer damage while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Winter Protection Strategies
- Anti-Desiccant Treatment
Protect broadleaf evergreens from winter burn with professional anti-desiccant applications. This coating prevents moisture loss during harsh winter conditions. - Structural Protection
Install burlap screens or windbreaks for sensitive plants in exposed locations. These barriers shield against damaging winter winds and salt spray. - Snow Load Management
Monitor and carefully remove heavy snow loads from shrubs and small trees to prevent branch breakage and structural damage.
