Services Not Covered by the Tree & Shrub Program

Roses and Flowers
Fungus Diseases: Plants that are starving for nutrients are more likely to have diseases. Therefore, our programs will postively address some existing disease problems. Extra charges will apply for fungicide applicatoins and extra visits for disease control.
Foliage sprays are limited when in close proximity to surfaces that will stain such as stucco. Smaller trees may be sprayed in certain situations but trees over fifteen feet tall will generally not be sprayed. Other measures will be taken for insect control in these situations and extra charges will apply.
No service is offered inside pool cages due to access and staining problems. We assume no responsibility for staining should you insist on service to these areas.
