Richter’s Beautification Tree and Shrub Custom Care Services

Your local Richter’s Beautification experts offer a variety of specialized services for trees and shrubs that go beyond the basics in landscape care.

Tree care and shrub care is often overlooked when a lawn maintenance program is developed. This can be a costly mistake that detracts from the beauty of your yard. On average we spend 400% more installing plant landscape than turf. With such an immense investment you should have a tree care and shrub program to ensure the health and well being of your plant landscape. Our technicians are trained to discover hidden and potential problems, and develop a custom treatment program for your specific trees, bushes and plant life. With such a vast array of plant life in the local area our technicians participate in ongoing training to ensure the proper diagnosis and treatment. Our tree care and shrub programs include: fertilization, trunk and deep root injections, insect control, disease control, pruning & trimming and winterization.

The Primary Custom Tree and Shrub Care Services are:

  • Fertilization Our ornamental tree and shrub care program consists of scheduled treatments that are designed for year-long plant health and vigor to protect your landscape investment.
    • Early Spring – Dormant Oil for over-wintering and sucking insects.
    • Spring – Deep root fertilization
    • Late Spring – Insecticide, miticide, and fungicide.
    • Summer – Insecticide, miticide, and fungicide.
    • Late Summer -Insecticide, miticide, and fungicide.
    • Fall – Insecticide, miticide, and fungicide.
    • Late Fall – Deep root fertilization
    • Fall/Winter – Horticulture Oil for over-wintering and sucking insects or anti-desiccant spray for winter protection.
  • Targeted Insect Control While our insect control service prevents and treats many varieties of bugs and insects, some problem insects require more than one treatment to control. Japanese beetles, lace bugs and black vine weevils are just a few voracious species that attack home plantings. In fact, some bugs can re-infest plants and shrubs virtually days after being treated. Your local Richter’s Beautification professionals know which ones are common in your area and can help to bring these pests under control with our targeted insect control services.
  • Winter protection Some trees – especially evergreens – are particularly susceptible to dry-out from winter winds. Loss of leaf moisture not only spoils their appearance, but also inflicts damage that can carry over into the next growing season. Richter’s Beautification applies anti-desiccant material in the fall to help guard against dehydration and maintain healthy moisture levels throughout the long winter season.
  • Injections (arbor systems) This system lets a single operator achieve season-long control with a treatment method designed to protect tree vigor and prevent long-term wounding.

    Shrub Trimming

    Proper upkeep of trees, hedges and bushes complements a great looking lawn.

    Pruning and trimming of trees and plants must be done with care to ensure that they thrive and that vital branches are not cut. Leave this difficult art up to Richter’s Beautification to ensure perfect looking and healthy shrubs.

    In most cases the best time to prune trees is mid spring and late summer. Pruning in winter is not the best idea, as it increases the chances of tree mortality and slows down the plants healing rate.

    To keep your bushes and shrubs looking their best, we will use a powered or a hand held hedge trimmer depending on the requirements of the job. With a steady hand, our professional staff can create healthy and attractive centerpieces in the landscape that compliments the beauty of your home.

    Trimming hedges and small bushes is essential in promoting their optimal health because it allows them to receive maximum sunlight and water.
