Tree and Shrub Care Services in Atlanta
Mature trees and healthy shrubs are some of the most valuable features on any property — and some of the most vulnerable if they’re not properly cared for. Peachtree Landscape’s tree and shrub care program keeps your existing plantings healthy, structurally sound, and protected from Atlanta’s regional pests and diseases.
Ongoing tree and shrub care in Atlanta includes fertilization, insect and disease monitoring, targeted treatments, and routine pruning to protect the health and structure of existing trees and ornamental plants — distinct from new tree planting or removal, which we handle through our Tree Services program.
Why Ongoing Tree and Shrub Care Matters in Atlanta
Georgia’s humid summers and clay soils create ideal conditions for certain fungal diseases and pests, while compacted urban soil can quietly stress even healthy-looking trees. Left unmonitored, small problems like early-stage disease or insect infestation can escalate into expensive removals or safety hazards. Regular care catches these issues early, when they’re far less costly to treat.
What’s Included in Our Tree and Shrub Care Program
- Fertilization & Soil Health: Targeted nutrients that support root development and plant vigor in Atlanta’s clay soils.
- Insect & Disease Monitoring: Seasonal inspections to catch common regional threats, including scale, borers, and fungal disease, before they spread.
- Horticultural Oil & Treatment Applications: Preventive and corrective treatments applied at the right time in the season for maximum effectiveness.
- Routine Pruning: Structural and aesthetic pruning that maintains healthy growth patterns and reduces storm damage risk.
Protecting Your Property’s Mature Trees
A mature tree canopy adds significant value to a property, but it also requires ongoing attention, especially as trees age or face new stressors like construction disturbance or changing drainage patterns. Our team monitors tree health over time, rather than treating each visit as an isolated event, so we catch changes in condition before they become emergencies.
FAQs About Tree and Shrub Care in Atlanta
How much does a tree and shrub care program cost?
Cost depends on the number and size of trees/shrubs, your property’s specific pest and disease pressures, and visit frequency. We provide a free assessment and itemized proposal.
How is this different from your Tree Services page?
This program covers ongoing health, pruning, and disease/pest management for trees and shrubs you already have. If you need new tree planting, removal, or replacement, see our Tree Services page.
How do I know if my tree is diseased or just stressed?
Common warning signs include thinning canopy, early leaf drop, visible fungal growth, or bark damage. Our team can assess and diagnose the specific cause during an on-site visit.
How often should shrubs be pruned?
Most ornamental shrubs benefit from pruning two to three times a year, timed around their specific bloom and growth cycle.
Are your treatments safe for pets and children?
Yes. We prioritize low-toxicity and organic options where possible and follow label-directed application timing.
Do you treat specific pests like Emerald Ash Borer?
Yes, we monitor for and treat common regional pests, including borers, scale insects, and other threats specific to Georgia’s tree species.
Can you help with trees that look healthy but are declining?
Yes. Many issues start below ground or inside the canopy before visible symptoms appear. Regular monitoring helps catch these earlier than an occasional look from the curb would.
What areas do you serve for tree and shrub care?
We serve the metro Atlanta area including Buckhead, Midtown, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Milton, Marietta, Dunwoody, and Brookhaven.
