Seasonal Schedule

Our Tree & Shrub Care Calendar

Here at Healthy Lawn, we apply season-specific treatments throughout the year. Here's what happens at each of our eight visits, and when.

1
Early Spring

Horticultural Oil

Essentials + Comprehensive

This first treatment of the year focuses on an application of early-season horticulture oils. These oils are beneficial in the prevention of fungal diseases and pest infestations, ensuring the health and longevity of your trees and shrubs.

Systemic insecticide available as needed.
2
Spring

Spring Fertilization

Essentials + Comprehensive

In mid-April, we treat your plants with professional-grade fertilizers. The products we use are designed specifically for shrubbery, and we always apply seasonally appropriate formulas to get your plants growing properly before the heat of summer arrives.

Systemic insecticide available as needed.
3
Spring – Late Spring

Early-Season Insect & Mite Control

Comprehensive

This round of the program is when we shift our focus to early-season insect and mite control. Insects and mites can damage tree trunks, eat leaves, suck out sap from stems, and more. This treatment focuses on preventive control to stop an infestation before it starts.

4
Late Spring

Insect & Mite Control

Comprehensive

We continue our insect and mite control through mid-spring. Preventive control will be used in conjunction with targeted treatments for any pests that may be present.

5
Summer

Final Insect & Mite Control

Comprehensive

This summer visit is our final treatment of insect and mite control, taking care of any lingering pest problems for your trees and shrubs. This application is focused on getting your plants through the rest of the growing season in tip-top shape.

6
Late Summer

Late-Season Horticultural Oil

Essentials + Comprehensive

Our late-season horticulture oil treatment targets any fungal infections that may exist on your trees and shrubs, ensuring a healthier period of dormancy when temperatures drop. This treatment also focuses on disrupting the life cycle of pests and insects.

Systemic insecticide available as needed.
7
Late Summer – Fall

Fall Root Fertilization

Essentials + Comprehensive

Our team applies a fall fertilizer around the base of your trees and shrubs that will improve root health as winter arrives. Stronger roots mean more nutrient storage through dormancy and into the following spring.

Systemic insecticide available as needed.
8
Late Fall

Anti-Desiccant Winter Protection

Comprehensive

Late fall anti-desiccant applications form a protective film over broadleaf evergreens, reducing moisture loss and preventing winter burn. This is particularly effective for plants like boxwoods, hollies, cherry laurels, and rhododendrons.

Systemic insecticide available as needed.

FAQ

Tree & shrub care FAQs

How much does tree and shrub care cost in New Jersey?

Both our Essentials and Comprehensive plans start at $82 per application. Your exact price depends on the number and size of trees and shrubs on your property. Request a quote and we will get back to you the same day.

How many treatments will my trees and shrubs get?

The Essentials Package includes 4 applications (seasonal fertilization and horticultural oils). The Comprehensive Package includes 8 applications from early spring through late fall, adding insect and mite control, anti-desiccant, and systemic insecticide treatments.

When is the best time to start tree and shrub care in NJ?

Early spring is ideal, because the first horticultural oil application targets insects and eggs that survived the winter. Late fall is also a great time to start: the anti-desiccant application protects broadleaf evergreens like boxwoods, hollies, and rhododendrons from winter burn.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. All of our tree and shrub care plans are no-contract.

What if I still see pests or damage between visits?

Let us know. If you aren't happy, we will fix it for free. If you're still not happy, we will refund your last service, guaranteed.

What is an anti-desiccant, and does my landscape need it?

An anti-desiccant is a protective film applied in late fall that reduces moisture loss from broadleaf evergreens during cold, windy New Jersey winters. If you have boxwoods, hollies, cherry laurels, or rhododendrons that brown out by March, they will benefit.
