Keep Your Lawn Pristine
Healthy, well-maintained trees and shrubs can increase a home's value by up to 15%, according to the USDA Forest Service. That's not a small number—and it's why the plants on your property deserve more than just occasional watering and a trim. When your landscape looks good and stays healthy year after year, it works in your favor, both in curb appeal and long-term return.
At Nuleaf Lawn Care, we take care of your trees and shrubs the same way you'd want any valuable investment looked after—consistently, proactively, and with a plan that actually works.
Our program runs six to seven visits per year, depending on what your landscape needs. Every visit has a purpose, and nothing is guesswork—our technicians scout and monitor your plants at each application to catch problems early and adjust as needed.
Here's what the program includes:
- Horticultural oil spray to suffocate overwintering insects and eggs before spring
- Spring nutrient applications with key fertilizers to address deficiencies
- Systemic insect control and fungicide treatments targeting specific seasonal threats
- Ongoing monitoring and treatment adjustments throughout the growing season
- Fall dormant oil treatment to manage insects and fungal issues during dormancy
- Winter anti-desiccant application to protect plants from cold and wind damage
- On-site inspection of all trees and shrubs included with the program
Warning Signs of Tree Disease
Trees and shrubs across Virginia face a tough lineup of threats every season. From the dense suburban lots of Fairfax to the wooded yards in Ashburn and Vienna, common insects, mites, and fungal diseases can quietly take hold and cause serious damage before most homeowners even notice something is wrong.
Watch your trees and shrubs in Virginia for these red flags:
- Yellowing, browning, or prematurely dropping leaves
- Unusual spots, lesions, or powdery coatings on leaves
- Sticky residue or black sooty mold on foliage
- Small silk or cone-shaped bags hanging from branches
- Thinning canopies or dying branches from the top down
- Serpentine tunnels or D-shaped exit holes in bark
- Stunted new growth or distorted, curling leaves
- Visible insects, mites, or egg masses on stems and leaves
Catching these signs early makes a real difference in how well your plants recover. The longer a pest or disease goes unaddressed, the more ground it gains—and in some cases, a tree or shrub that could have been saved becomes a costly removal. Staying ahead of these issues with a consistent, expert-guided approach is the most effective way to protect your landscape investment and keep your yard looking its best all year long.
