Protect your evergreens and shrubs

Our exceptionally dry late summer and fall seasons have put many of our evergreen trees and shrubs at risk of winter burn or desiccation. This occurs when the soil becomes frozen and water cannot be replenished through the roots, and because evergreens do not shed their leaves they continue to lose moisture all year. One proven strategy to address this is with an anti-desiccant spray applied just before winter sets in. This spray seals off the pores in the plants to help them retain moisture throughout the cold and windy winter months, allowing them to come back green and healthy with the return of spring. Our team of experts will evaluate your landscape to determine which plantings would benefit from this preventive treatment.
