Tree and Shrub Care

Choose Swazy & Alexander and it won't take long to make your landscape become the envy of the neighborhood. We apply insect controls and fertilization to your ornamental trees, shrubs and plantings to make them thrive year-round. We also apply specially selected nutrients to enhance your plants' growth and appearance.

• Early Spring: Dormant oil, IPM visit.  The goal of this visit is to suppress insect populations and inspect plants for overall health by killing the eggs before they hatch.
• Late Spring: Deep Root (soil injection) Fertilization for a healthier plant. Options may include micro-nutrients, root bio-stimulants, surface fertilization, micro-injections or deep root fertilization to revitalize their health.
• Summer IPM visit: Monitoring and treatment for a variety of insects and diseases such as Lace bug, cankerworm, aphids, and mites. A thorough and detailed assessment of your shade trees, ornamental trees, shrubs and ground cover is made.
  
• Fall IPM visit: Monitoring and treatment for a variety of insects and diseases. A thorough and detailed assessment of your shade trees, ornamental trees, shrubs and ground cover is made.
  
• Fall Fertilization: The Plan includes specialized fertilization to promote winter hardiness in your trees, shrubs and tired plants.
  
• Late Fall: Anti-desiccant spray provides a protective coating on the plants to prevent winter damage from drying of the foliage from harsh winter winds (called Desiccation). This service is recommended for all broadleaf evergreens and any new plantings.
  
• Poison Ivy Management: Kids and pets can track poison ivy into your home without even knowing it .We don't want you (or them) to be afraid of your back yard. We can treat and remove poison ivy from your property to give you more usable space and peace of mind.
