Don’t let your trees and shrubs be the ones getting fooled this April Fools’ Day.

A landscaper helps your property look neat and maintained.
Advance Tree & Shrub helps keep your trees and shrubs healthy.

3 key differences:
• We diagnose issues like insects, disease, and plant stress
• Our recommendations come from a Certified Arborist
• We focus on long-term plant health, not just appearance

Landscapers typically focus on:
• Mowing and trimming
• Mulching and cleanup
• General landscape appearance

Both services have value—but they are not the same.
When your trees and shrubs need more than routine maintenance, we’re here to help.

Protecting your trees and shrubs from the ground up!

Seeing white/gray “felt” patches on crape myrtle bark or sticky honeydew/sooty mold? That can point to crape myrtle bark scale—a common regional issue. Scouting early makes treatment more effective.

If you wait until mosquitoes are everywhere, you’re already behind. The best time to start is now, before populations build and breeding areas get established.

Our Monthly Mosquito Service (April–October) works because it’s proactive:
✅ Breaks the breeding cycle early (so you’re not chasing them all summer)
✅ Targets high-activity areas like shaded landscaping, under decks, and dense shrubs
✅ Consistent monthly visits keep pressure down through peak season
✅ Helps you actually use your yard again—cookouts, kids, pets, evenings outside

Why it’s a smart investment:
🦟More comfort outdoors all season
🦟Fewer bites and less stress for family + guests
🦟Better results than one-time “quick fixes”
🦟Predictable, seasonal plan you can count on

‼ Now booking April starts.

Spring is here 🌸 Why hire an arborist for Plant Health Care?

As blooms pop and new growth starts, your trees and shrubs are also entering their most important (and most vulnerable) season. This is when small issues—pests, disease, and stress—can ramp up fast.

Hiring an arborist-led Plant Health Care (PHC) team means you’re not guessing. You’re getting a plan based on the tree/shrub species, site conditions, and what’s actually happening on your property.

Why it matters in spring:
✅ Early detection: Catch problems before they spread (leaf spots, dieback, thinning, insects).
✅ Correct diagnosis: Not every issue needs treatment—sometimes it’s watering, soil, or site stress.
✅ Targeted care: Treatments are applied only when needed, in the right timing for best results.
✅ Stronger growth: Soil care + pruning guidance helps plants push healthier growth through the season.

What to expect this time of year:
🌿New growth + blooms (great!)
🌿Early pest activity (aphids, scale, mites can show up fast)
🌿Spring disease pressure during warm/wet stretches
🌿Stress symptoms from last year that become visible now

If you’re noticing leaf spotting, sticky residue, curled leaves, thinning shrubs, or branches that didn’t leaf out, now’s the time to get it checked—spring is when prevention pays off.

These trees are beautiful when in bloom but definitely give off a pungent smell. However, their fast growth causes these trees to be dangerously weak during a storm or even the slightest wind gusts.

We can help! Let us do a Free Tree Inspection to evaluate the condition of your Bradford Pear tree(s) and develop a solution that’s right for you.

The invasive species has gotten so out of control, that some North Carolina counties have a bounty on it!

What is Disease Management (for Trees & Shrubs)? 🌿🧫
Plant disease management isn’t a one-time spray—it’s a proactive plan to keep your landscape healthy, especially as spring growth begins.

Our disease management approach focuses on:
✅ Identifying the likely cause (fungal, bacterial, environmental stress, etc.)
✅ Periodic evaluations by our arborist to track changes over time
✅ Targeted treatments only when needed to reduce disease pressure
✅ Practical steps that support plant health (airflow, watering habits, pruning guidance)

🔎Spring prep tip: Late winter/early spring is the ideal time to evaluate plants for early symptoms—before warm, wet weather speeds things up.

If you’re seeing leaf spots, yellowing, thinning, dieback, or “sudden decline,” let’s take a look and recommend the right next step.
