This seasonal list shows the tasks we typically perform over the course of a year. No one property needs every listed task; we include this calendar to give an idea of the scope of our services and the year-round nature of our attention to the landscapes in our care.
In 2021 you should expect from our 5 application spraying program:
Application of dormant oil on susceptible ornamental plants to control over-wintering insects and their eggs.
Application for fertilization, disease and insect control including but not limited to pests such as borers and lace bugs as well as foliar diseases. Emerald Ash Borer treatments will resume during this time period as well. All ash trees treated in 2019 will be due for retreatment this year. Applications to control Asian wooly aphids in hackberry trees will also begin toward the end of this round for those who request it.
Application for fertilization, disease and insect control including but not limited to pests such as mites, mealy bugs, and bagworms as well as canker diseases, entomosporium, and cercospora.
Program for fertilization, disease and insect control including but not limited to pests such as Spruce Mites, Rose Slugs, and Aphids as well as Powdery Mildew.

In 2021 you should expect from our 7 application spraying program the same five rounds described above plus:
Fall / Winter: Additional application of dormant oil to suppress insect fertility cycles of over-wintering pests.
Summer: Additional application for fertilization, disease and insect control when pest and disease pressures are at their highest.
