Are your trees and shrubs growing? They may be living but not thriving – because there is an insect or disease that is slowly sapping the life out of it. If that’s the case, the Tree and Shrub Care program from Groundhog Turf Care is just what the doctor ordered!
Consulting Arborists at Groundhog Turf Care
Trees are different than turf grass. Trees and shrubs have their own special types of insects that attack them. As a result, there is special classification and licensing in New Hampshire for insect and disease control on ornamental plants. The consulting Arborist who comes to your house has this license – but more importantly, these techs know what problems to look for on your landscape plants.
We look for problems! Rather than just cover-spraying your trees and shrubs, Groundhog Turf Care’s approach is more selective. For example, insects feed on certain plants at certain times of the year. Accurately timed sprays are the best way to control these pests. Foliar fungus on shrubs often originate from the ground underneath the plant. In that case, we perform a soil-drench with fungicide at the time when the foliar disease is most active. Sometimes simply spraying the leaves is not enough.
Professional Pest Control for Trees and Shrubs
Some insects and diseases are systemic – that is, they live and feed underneath the bark of the tree. They cannot be controlled with a foliar spray. And they are usually devastating, killing the tree quickly. Likewise, systemic tree diseases are also difficult to control through foliar sprays.
