Common Threats Affecting Landscape Plants
Trees and shrubs communicate distress through visible changes. You might notice leaves turning yellow prematurely, branches dying back, or unusual growth patterns. Some problems develop slowly while others can devastate a plant within a single growing season.
Northern Virginia homeowners should watch for these warning signals in their trees and shrubs:
- Yellow or discolored leaves outside of normal fall color change
- Holes or notches in foliage from insect feeding
- Sticky residue on leaves or underneath plants
- White powdery substance on leaf surfaces
- Small bumps or growths along stems and branches
- D-shaped exit holes in ash tree bark (emerald ash borer damage)
- Bag-like structures hanging from branches (bagworms)
- Premature leaf drop or thinning canopy
- Black spots or patches on leaves
- Wilting despite adequate moisture
Many of these issues respond well to professional treatment when caught early. Our comprehensive approach includes thorough inspections, targeted treatments, and preventative applications that work together to maintain your landscape's health and beauty throughout the changing seasons. Regular monitoring by trained specialists helps catch problems before they become serious.
