At Groundhog Turf Care, we take a holistic approach to caring for your landscape trees and shrubs.
Licensed Arborist Services for New Hampshire Clients
Landscape trees and shrubs respond differently to environmental stress than turf grass and have specific needs to keeping them healthy. Special training is needed to be able to diagnose and identify and treat them. At Groundhog Turf Care, we aren’t just turf specialists – we have licensed arborists on staff who tend to this important part of your landscape.
What is “Plant Health Care“?
Plant Health Care is an industry term that refers to taking a targeted, holistic approach to tree care. At Groundhog, we employ these strategies to achieve maximum control with minimal impact on the environment.
Pest Control for Trees and Shrubs
If your trees and shrubs are alive but not thriving, they may be under attack from insects or diseases. The Tree and Shrub Care program at Groundhog Turf Care will address these issues with targeted treatments.
Deep Root Fertilization Gets to the Roots
Deep root fertilization provides essential nutrients that are often not available to landscape trees and shrubs in the home landscape. We do this by injecting a liquid tree fertilizer into the root zone, helping them stay healthy, improve blooms and resist disease.
Pruning Services
Selective (contour) pruning promotes healthier, more balanced growth in trees and shrubs by encouraging interior growth rather than just surface foliage. At Groundhog Turf Care, we can provide pruning services for all shrubs and trees up to 10’ in height.
Bed Weed Control
A technician who applies weed controls to shrub beds in New Hampshire must have an Ornamental Tree Spraying license (G-1) from the state. Because Groundhog Turf Care’s G-1 licensed applicators also have these licenses to apply herbicides, shrub bed weed control services dovetail nicely with our Tree and Shrub Care services.
