Residential Plant Health Care
Simply Green provides seven seasonal plant health care visits for the trees, shrubs, and ornamental plants around your home, with care for insects, disease, nutrition, and changing plant needs.
Your Plant Care Plan
Plant needs change through the year. Simply Green adjusts the program with the season instead of repeating the same treatment at every visit.
Our plant health experts look for yellowing, spots, weak growth, insects, disease, and other signs that a plant may need attention.
Before spring growth begins, appropriate plants receive root zone treatment and nutrients based on their seasonal needs.
New spring growth can bring increased insect and disease activity. Preventive treatment is applied to suitable plants where needed.
From mid spring through late summer, three visits focus on current insect and disease problems. Plants are inspected first, and treatment is directed where activity is found.
Balanced granular fertilizer is applied to the base of your ornamental plants to help recovery from summer and prepare ornamentals for the upcoming winter months
The final seasonal visit focuses on suitable dormant plants and pests or eggs that may remain on branches, stems, and bark through winter. Together, these steps make up seven visits through the year.
Aftercare can vary depending on what was applied during the visit. Follow the watering, access, and plant care instructions provided that day.
Some treatments need watering, and others do not. Follow the directions provided for that visit before changing your normal routine.
Keep people and pets away from treated areas when required. Our experts will tell you when those areas can be used again.
Keep an eye on new growth, yellowing, fresh insect activity, webbing, spots, or other changes after treatment.
Do not suddenly add extra fertilizer, change watering, and heavily prune a struggling plant all at the same time. Follow the care recommendations provided after the visit.
Contact Simply Green if you notice sudden leaf loss, new insects, spots, webbing, wilting, or any other major change between visits. A photo and approximate date can be useful.
Seasonal Timing
The seven visits are scheduled around how plant needs, insect activity, disease concerns, and seasonal growth change through the year. The program does not repeat the same application at every visit.
This schedule shows what each part of the program is designed to address and why the timing changes.
Time of Year | Program Focus | Why It Matters |
Late winter | Root zone treatment and nutrients for appropriate plants | Supports root care before spring growth begins. |
Early spring | Preventive treatment on suitable plants | New growth can coincide with increased insect and disease activity. |
Mid spring through late summer | Three inspection-focused visits with targeted treatment where needed | Current insect and disease problems can change during the active growing season. |
Early fall | Seasonal recovery care for appropriate plants | Care shifts as summer heat eases and plant growth begins to slow. |
Winter | Dormant-season pest protection on suitable plants | Focuses on certain pests or eggs that may remain on branches, stems, and bark. |
Treatment Decisions
Plant health care works best when treatment is tied to what is actually happening in the landscape. A yellow leaf, a spot, or weak growth can have more than one cause, so the first step is to inspect the plant instead of assuming the symptom tells the whole story.
Different trees, shrubs, and ornamental plants have different seasonal needs. We consider the plant, its current condition, and whether it is actively growing, stressed, or entering a slower part of the season.
Holes, sticky residue, webbing, spots, yellowing, wilting, weak growth, and reduced flowering provide useful clues. Our specialists look for active insect or disease problems before deciding whether treatment is needed.
The same treatment is not appropriate at every point in the year. Preventive spring care, active-season inspections, fall recovery, and winter pest protection each serve a different purpose.
Watering, heat, poor growing conditions, nutrition, and root stress can create symptoms that look similar to insects or disease. Those conditions are considered before a treatment recommendation is made.
Know What the Program Can Address
Plant health care provides ongoing inspection, seasonal root and nutrient care, preventive treatment for suitable plants, and targeted treatment when insect or disease activity is found. It is designed to manage plant health through changing conditions rather than treat every visible symptom the same way.
Some plant problems are connected to watering, heat, poor growing conditions, or root stress. When those conditions are limiting the plant, an insect or disease treatment alone will not solve the underlying problem. Root care is also only one part of the program and does not prevent every plant problem.
The program is useful for homeowners who want seasonal monitoring of ornamental trees and shrubs, help identifying changes early, and treatment that can adjust as plant needs and pest activity change through the year.
If a plant is struggling because of watering, growing conditions, or another site-related issue, Simply Green can explain what was observed so that condition can be addressed separately instead of adding unnecessary treatment.
Local Plant Care Experience
Simply Green has cared for Metro Atlanta landscapes since 2004. Our plant health care program follows the seasonal conditions that affect local trees, shrubs, and ornamental plants.
Homeowners receive seven seasonal visits, active season inspections, treatment where needed, and observation reports that explain what was found in clear language.
Simply Green’s plant health care specialists are certified by the Georgia Department of Agriculture and maintain Category 24 applicator licenses.
You do not need to know the technical name of every insect or disease before calling us. Our experts can inspect the plants and explain what is happening.
More Care for Your Yard
Simply Green also provides lawn, soil, moisture, and pest services for other problems around your property.
The value of a seasonal plant health care program is not a single application. It comes from checking the landscape repeatedly, matching care to the season, and responding to changes before the next part of the growing cycle.
Seven seasonal visits create repeated opportunities to notice new insect activity, disease symptoms, weak growth, or other changes that may not have been present at the previous visit.
Root care, spring prevention, active-season inspections, fall recovery, and winter protection are scheduled for different parts of the year instead of repeating one treatment.
Integrated Pest Management starts with inspection. Treatment is directed toward suitable plants and active concerns rather than automatically treating every plant the same way.
Observation reports and visit instructions explain what was found, what was treated, and what you should watch for between visits. If a new problem appears, you can contact Simply Green before the next scheduled visit.
Simply Green combines inspection-based pest management, dormant-season oil treatment, and root-zone care as part of a broader seasonal program for ornamental trees, shrubs, and landscape plants.
Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, starts with inspection. Our specialists look for active insect and disease problems, consider the plant and season, and direct treatment where it is appropriate instead of treating every plant the same way.
During the dormant season, suitable plants may receive horticultural or dormant oil treatment for certain pests or eggs that remain on branches, stems, and bark through winter. The treatment used depends on the plant and what needs attention.
Late winter root-zone care provides treatment and nutrients to appropriate plants before spring growth becomes more active. This supports the below-ground part of plant health as the landscape moves into a new growing season.
