Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, expert answers about tree and shrub healthcare in the Northwest Chicago Suburbs.

Do I need an arborist, or can I treat trees and shrubs myself?

Hardware-store sprays miss timing more often than they miss the pest. Disease applications have to hit a short spring window, and many insect problems require diagnosing the exact life stage before treatment can work. Certified arborists ensure the right product hits at the exact right moment to protect your landscape investment.

How soon will I see results?

Weed control and mosquito work show up quickly—often within days. Fertilization and disease programs, however, are measured across a full season as trees rebuild root mass, flush new healthy foliage, and recover from environmental stressors.

Are your treatments safe around kids, pets, and pollinators?

We use professional products strictly according to label guidelines and choose the application method—whether that is targeted spray, root drench, or micro-injection—that solves the specific problem with the least extra exposure to non-target plants, pets, and beneficial pollinators.

What is the difference between spraying and injecting a tree?

Sprays cover foliage externally and are ideal for many leaf diseases and surface-feeding insects. Soil drenches and trunk injections deliver systemic treatments directly inside the tree's vascular system, protecting large trees from borers without drift or surface residue.

Do I have to sign up for a year?

No. Annual service is available because most plant problems follow the seasonal calendar, but you are never locked in. You can start with a single diagnostic visit, build a customized seasonal care plan, or cancel your recurring schedule at any time.
