As winter gives way to spring, pests that have been lying dormant can quickly become a threat to your landscape. Dormant oil treatment is an environmentally friendly way to control overwintering insects such as scale, mites, and aphids before they become a larger problem. Applied during late winter or early spring, dormant oil works by suffocating pests and their eggs without harming beneficial insects or the surrounding environment. At Dream Greener, our plant health care specialists carefully inspect your trees and shrubs to determine if dormant oil treatment is right for your landscape, ensuring early-season protection that sets the stage for healthy, thriving plants all year long.

In natural forests, trees and shrubs thrive in nutrient-rich soil, replenished by decomposing organic matter. However, in urban and suburban landscapes, soil conditions are often depleted, leaving plants without the essential nutrients they need to grow strong and resilient. At Dream Greener, our fertilizer treatments provide a fast-acting nutrient boost tailored to your landscape’s needs. Whether applied in liquid or granular form, these nutrients are strategically placed near the root zone, allowing trees and shrubs to absorb, store, and utilize them for sustained health. Our team carefully inspects your plants to determine the right fertilizer approach, ensuring vibrant growth, lush foliage, and long-term vitality.

A thriving landscape starts with proactive care. Our certified arborist conducts a thorough evaluation of your property, identifying any existing or potential insect or disease threats. By implementing targeted treatments, we help reduce foliar damage caused by harmful pests, preserving the healthy leaf surface area essential for photosynthesis. Since a plant’s ability to convert sunlight into energy directly impacts its growth and vitality, our approach ensures that trees and shrubs remain strong, resilient, and lush throughout the seasons. Dream Greener’s expert plant health care services keep your landscape protected and flourishing year-round.

As summer temperatures rise, so does insect activity. Warmer weather accelerates insect metabolism, leading to increased feeding and potential damage to your landscape. Our mid-season visit focuses on targeting pests like Japanese beetles and other harmful insects that cause foliar damage. By proactively managing infestations and monitoring for disease, we help maintain the health and vibrancy of your trees and shrubs throughout the hottest months. Dream Greener’s strategic treatments keep your landscape looking its best while preventing long-term stress on your plants.

As summer transitions into fall, migrating insects can become more active in your landscape. During this seasonal visit, our arborists carefully inspect your property for signs of insect movement, identifying areas where pests may be settling in. Additionally, we monitor for any resurgence in insect populations caused by excessive heat and dry conditions. By addressing these issues early, Dream Greener helps protect your plants from late-season stress, ensuring they remain healthy and resilient as cooler weather approaches.

Our fall feeding treatment delivers essential nutrients to your ornamentals, helping them store energy for the colder months ahead. By fortifying trees and shrubs in the fall, we promote earlier spring green-up and reduce the risk of winter damage. Proper fertilization at this time strengthens root systems and supports overall plant health, ensuring your landscape remains vibrant and resilient year-round.

When evening temperatures drop below freezing, it’s the perfect time to apply dormant oil to protect your landscape. This treatment effectively targets overwintering pests such as lanternflies, scale insects, and mites, preventing infestations before they begin in the spring. By suffocating insect eggs and larvae, dormant oil provides an eco-friendly solution to keeping your trees and shrubs healthy throughout the colder months.

Desiccation occurs when plants lose moisture through their leaves faster than they can absorb it through their roots, leading to winter damage. Our anti-desiccant treatment adds a protective waxy coating to the leaves of broadleaf evergreens, reducing water loss and slowing the transpiration process. This helps your plants retain vital moisture, preventing winter burn and ensuring they emerge healthier in the spring.

For trees facing specific threats, our Arborjet injection treatments provide a precise and effective solution. These specialty services, which are not included in our standard plant health care program, are designed to protect large trees such as oaks, maples, and spruces from destructive insects and diseases. Arborjet injections deliver targeted treatment directly into the tree’s vascular system, effectively managing borers and other pests that reside within trees or shrubs. This method minimizes environmental impact while maximizing protection, helping your trees stay strong and resilient.
