Tree and Shrub Care in Westchester County, NY

Tree Care in Westchester County Done Right

Most people call a tree company when something looks wrong. By then, the problem has often been growing for a year or more.

We work like a doctor for your yard. A licensed arborist walks your property. We look at the bark, the leaves, the roots and the soil. Then we build a plan to keep each tree and shrub strong.

We are a plant health care company. That means our job is to keep trees alive and healthy. We prune, feed and protect. We do not take trees down or grind stumps.

One customer said it best: “They have preserved a giant ash tree behind my house and kept it healthy. The technician was very informative and competent.”

What Westchester Trees and Shrubs Are Up Against

Bugs that kill trees. Emerald ash borer has killed many ash trees in our area. Spotted lanternfly is spreading fast. Bark beetles, scale and spongy moth caterpillars hurt trees too. Most of these can be stopped if they are caught early.

Tree and shrub diseases. Beech leaf disease, boxwood blight and leaf fungus are common here. A sick tree often looks fine from the ground until it is too late. That is why we look closely every visit.

Hungry deer. Deer eat shrubs and young trees, most of all in winter. Our deer repellent keeps them off your plants.

Dry winter air. Cold, dry winter air pulls water out of evergreen leaves. That is called winter burn. Our plant winterization spray helps hold that water in.

Ticks in the yard. Many Westchester homes sit next to woods, stone walls and leaf piles. Ticks love those spots. Our tick and mosquito program helps keep your yard safe to enjoy.

Our Year-Round Tree and Shrub Care Calendar

Trees need different things at different times of year. Here is how a typical year looks in Westchester County:

• Spring (April to May): First check-up. Insect and disease treatments start. Soil feeding begins. Tick treatments start.
• Summer (June to August): We watch for bugs and fungus. Spotted lanternfly sprays run June to October. Mosquito treatments run May to September.
• Fall (September to October): Fall feeding helps roots get ready for winter. Last insect and disease treatments wrap up by the end of October.
• Late fall (October to December): Plant winterization protects evergreens and shrubs from winter burn and deer.
• Winter (November to March): The best time for pruning. Trees are asleep, so cuts heal well and it is easy to see the branches.

Tick and Mosquito Control in Westchester County

Ticks are a real worry in Westchester. They hide in tall grass, leaf piles and along the edge of the woods. Our tick and mosquito control program treats the parts of your yard where ticks and mosquitoes live. You can pick organic or traditional treatments.

Customers love this service. One wrote: “We use this service for tick control on our property, and it is amazing! Just yesterday a friend was mentioning that there are so many ticks this year, but we have none!”

We also protect your yard from other pests that hurt plants and lawns:

• Spotted Lanternfly Control: We spray at each life stage, June to October.
• Deer Deterrent: Repellent treatments that keep deer off shrubs and ornamentals.
• Geese Repellent: A lawn treatment that keeps geese off your grass.

Organic Lawn Treatment in Westchester County

Your lawn sits right under your trees, so we care for it too. We do not mow. We make the grass thicker and greener. Every lawn program starts with a soil test.

• Organic Lawn Care: A full program that feeds the soil with carbon-based, OMRI-listed products.
• Lawn Fertilizer Service: Feeding matched to your soil test.
• Weed Control: Crabgrass, dandelion, clover and nutsedge control in spring and summer.

Safe for Kids, Pets and Pollinators

Many of our customers have kids and dogs who play in the yard. That is a big reason we use mostly organic products. Our DEC-licensed applicators follow every label. Your technician will tell you when it is safe to go back outside.

We also respect your wishes. One customer wrote: “Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, sensitive to our needs and possible restrictions (don’t spray near the basils!)”

What Does Tree Care Cost in Westchester County?

Cost depends on how many trees and shrubs you have, how big they are, and what they need. A tree that needs one feeding costs less than a tree fighting a pest.
