Our fertilizing program has been carefully developed to provide for maximum turf health and the prevention and/or elimination of unwanted pests and weeds. The application schedule is primarily based on the time of year, though weather conditions and specific turfgrass issues may also play a role in determining the ideal time for a specific treatment.

Like all living things, trees and shrubs must receive regular nourishment to maintain health and beauty. They also must be protected against harmful insects and destructive diseases which, when ignored, can destroy plants, or leave them damaged.

That is why your choice of Wellman’s Lawn Care Tree & Shrub Care is so important. Our tree and shrub services have been carefully developed using modern horticultural techniques. Our trained tree and shrub technicians, with state-of-the-art equipment, apply properly formulated materials on a regular treatment schedule that best suits the needs of your trees and shrubs.

A customized Wellman’s Lawn Care Tree & Shrub Care program delivers more than proper nourishment and plant protection. It also:

Insect & Disease Treatment

Consists of three insect and disease treatments. Spray applications are made to foliage for control of insects: Japanese Beetles, sawfly, tent caterpillar, cankerworms, aphids, scale, mites, leaf miners, and webworms. Diseases reduced include anthracnose, rust, apple scab, leaf spot, and powdery mildew. We would recommend a minimum of at least 2 treatments for maximum effectiveness!

Spring & Fall Fertilization

A balanced blend of fertilizers is injected into the root zone. This encourages root growth and builds plant strength for maximum summer growth and for surviving the cold winter stress.

Tree or Shrub Trimming and Removal

Deciduous and ornamental trees below 12 feet and deciduous and evergreen shrubs below 6 feet are trimmed and maintained to enhance the natural beauty of the plants. Groundcover and perennial areas are trimmed as required. This trimming is only a shaping of the plant material and controlling of outgrowth, not hard pruning of branches.
