Tree and Shrub Evaluation

After assessing your landscape’s current condition, a specialist will detail collaborative steps to work together with you on your trees and shrubs, which includes post-service care. Our local horticulturists create tailored plans based on their knowledge of location, soil conditions and weather conditions so we can help you protect your landscape investment.

Foliage and Bark Protection

Expertly administered treatments protect against insects and diseases that could permanently damage your landscape.

Nutrients for Strong Roots

We'll give your plants the nutrients they need with spring and fall root fertilization.

Protective Oil Treatments

Our horticultural oil treatments control insects during the winter months, preparing your trees and shrubs for a vibrant spring.

Here’s how it works.

Your First Visit

A certified TruGreen specialist will perform a Tree and Shrub Evaluation on your property. They’ll create a tailored treatment plan based on the type and condition of your trees and shrubs, as well as any identified problem areas, such as plant-damaging insects or diseases.

Regular Specialist Visits

Approximately every four to six weeks, a TruGreen specialist will visit your property to make sure your trees and shrubs are responding to treatments. They will apply further treatments based on fertilization needs, as well as pest and disease activity.

Service Summaries

After each visit, you’ll get a service summary, which will also include some helpful tips and suggestions for things you can do to care for your trees and shrubs between visits.

Results

Depending on your plants and the treatments they receive, it may take a year to achieve visible results, such as thicker foliage and overall vitality. However, your trees and shrubs will be receiving vital nutrients and protection to help them grow stronger and more resistant to pests and disease before then.

We pride ourselves on making sure you’re happy with your results. TruGreen will gladly visit your property as needed between scheduled visits to ensure your satisfaction.

Questions? Glad you asked.

TruGreen knows that the foundation of any successful plant health care plan is fertilization, which we offer twice a year, during the spring and fall, to achieve optimal results. We also know that the timing of foliar and bark protection services (for insect and disease control) should be seasonal and vary by region to target the life cycles of specific pests, diseases, and challenging seasons when plants face environmental stresses. This is why we offer multiple insect and disease applications from early spring through the fall. Added winter protection treatments, such as dormant horticultural oils and anti-desiccation sprays, are offered in many regions with colder climates and shorter growing seasons to help trees and shrubs stand up to the harsher conditions during the winter months, while reducing pest populations the subsequent year.

The timeframe between tree and shrub applications varies and is often adjusted based on current horticultural conditions. Fertilization is performed once in the spring and once in the fall and may be performed at the same time as our foliar and bark protections (insect and disease control) visits, which are normally spaced out every 4–6 weeks, based on pest and disease activity. Other applications for specialized treatments may occur more frequently.

TruGreen’s Tree & Shrub program is designed to promote the health of your trees and shrubs, targeting foliage where common and predictable insects, mites, and diseases attack. Some invasive species require a more specialized approach, for which TruGreen has developed individualized treatment plans.

Yes. Customers benefit from our Trugreen Guarantee◆, which means we will gladly revisit your property between scheduled visits at no additional cost to make necessary adjustments to deliver quality results for your trees and shrubs.

Taking care of your trees and shrubs is a long-term investment. The time it takes to see results varies based on the unique needs of your trees & shrubs and on the conditions of your property. It normally takes a full year to achieve visible results, such as improved foliage density, flowering, and overall vigor. Rest assured that while on our program, your trees and shrubs are gaining the vital nutrients and protection they need throughout the seasons to help guard against common pests and to promote a healthy landscape for years to come.

Our specialists are trained and equipped to inspect each plant in order to provide treatment in a highly efficient, yet effective manner. The length of time it takes to provide service varies greatly based on property size and the number of plants requiring treatment. Also, not all applications are the same, so the time to complete your service will vary based on the type of treatment.

TruGreen offers fertilization and insect and disease control, plus many specialized treatments to target specific insect, disease and mite issues and to help protect against harsh weather conditions unique to certain geographic regions.

It is always a good idea to keep all plants watered when Mother Nature does not. However, there is no reason to water after any specific application provided by TruGreen.

Different pests affect different plants at different times during the growing season. In addition, many pests will have several generations per year, which means they may come back even after successful initial treatment. Ongoing monitoring and treatment will help ensure pests do not cause significant damage. Also, damage will vary from year to year and is impossible to predict, so canceling your service now will leave your plants susceptible to future problems. TruGreen's continuous service will help ensure the health of your landscape plants both today and for the future.

Not every plant on the landscape is susceptible to the same insect and disease pressures. If we skipped a plant, that means there weren't any significant issues that needed to be controlled during that particular visit. Each time we come to your property, we target and treat only those plants that are susceptible to insect or disease problems at that particular time of year.

Some plants, like the hybrid tea rose, as well as backyard fruits/vegetables and garden plants, are very sensitive and susceptible to pests of which we cannot guarantee control. For that reason, we do not offer treatments for these types of plants as part of our Tree & Shrub Care service.

The products we apply dry quickly in about 20–30 minutes, so as long as they've had a chance to dry, your plants should be protected.

Absolutely! We do ask that you keep your pets inside your home on scheduled service days and keep them off a treated lawn until the application has dried.

After a service, TruGreen advises customers to allow the application to dry or dust to settle (for granular applications) before families and pets resume enjoying their lawns. Although highly dependent upon temperature and humidity, most liquid products TruGreen uses dry within 1–2 hours.

There is a rigorous selection process to choose the products we use. All products used by TruGreen are registered for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In many cases, our product selection criteria exceeds that of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
