Tree and Shrub Care in Charlotte, NC: Questions Answered
How often should trees and shrubs be fertilized?
Most trees and shrubs in Charlotte, NC benefit from fertilization during the active growing season, typically March through October. Fine Turf’s tree and shrub program includes one spring application of 100% slow-release granular fertilizer placed around the drip line of each plant. That single application provides sustained nutrition throughout the entire growing season without the risk of burn, and it pairs with our insect and disease spray schedule to give your plants comprehensive protection.
What insects commonly attack shrubs in Charlotte?
Charlotte landscapes commonly face aphids, scale insects, spider mites, lace bugs, whiteflies, and bagworms. Aphids cluster on new growth and excrete sticky honeydew that attracts sooty mold. Scale appears as small bumps on stems and leaves. Bagworms build distinctive hanging bags on evergreens. Our 7 treatments for tree and shrub care target these pests at the times they are most vulnerable, preventing damage before it becomes visible.
Why do I need a lawn care program to add tree and shrub care?
Tree and shrub care works best as part of comprehensive property care. When we treat your entire landscape, we can coordinate treatments, monitor plant health during lawn visits, and address issues before they spread. This integrated approach leads to better results and allows us to provide the consistent, proactive care that ornamental plants need to thrive in Charlotte’s challenging climate.
Will you treat all the plants on my property?
Our program focuses on ornamental trees and shrubs—the plants that add beauty and value to your landscape. We treat all shrubs and ornamental trees up to approximately 15-20 feet in height. Large mature trees like oaks, pines, and other full-sized shade trees require specialized equipment and are not included in our standard program.
