What Proper Tree and Shrub Care Looks Like
Fertilization
Much like your lawn and grass, proper fertilization is at the core of every thriving ornamental landscape. LawnRx can fertilize your ornamentals to keep them looking their best and better protect them from disease and insect invasions. Our tree and shrub fertilization is injected into the soil around your trees aimed at reaching the root zone. Doing this will enable it to enrich the soil and increase the nutrient levels immediately. Our experts will also make recommendations and tell you what type of insects and diseases may be causing health problems for your beloved lawn investments.
Disease Control
Diseases can affect your Latrobe area trees and shrubs throughout the entire growing season. We identify which plants are susceptible to certain conditions and apply preventative disease controls before the symptoms appear. Keeping your ornamentals healthy and disease-free will increase the plant’s overall vigor and appearance. Some common diseases inlcude:
- Fire blight
- Powdery mildew
- Verticillium wilt

Insect Control
Insects can cause severe damage to otherwise healthy trees and shrubs. We identify which plants are susceptible to specific insects and treat only particular specific plants at the appropriate times. This will prevent and stop the insects from causing damage and weakening your trees and shrub’s health. We are very cautious of pesticide exposure to our pollinators and beneficial insects and use the Integrated Pest Management System at all times.
