TREES AND SHRUBS NEED NURTURING

MONTGOMERYVILLE, PA - With spring around the corner and trees and shrubs budding, NaturaLawn of America located in Montgomeryville is proud to announce the addition of Tree and Shrub program to its' current organic-based lawn care services, a value added benefit for the overall health of a homeowner's landscape.

Most conventional lawn care companies make blanket spray applications, spreading harsh chemicals to shrubs and trees that may not need it. NaturaLawn of America has a different approach to tree and shrub care, which includes an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, consisting of prevention, monitoring and controlling to detect problems on ornamental plants and trees. NaturaLawn of America will also provide soil tests for planting beds and tree areas to identify nutrient needs so that they can care for trees and shrubs, making it possible to detect soil deficiencies, saving the homeowner hundreds of dollars in tree and shrub repair and replacement.

"Our technicians will thoroughly inspect homeowner's trees and shrubs and make decisions based on observations, weather patterns and knowledge of pest life cycles. We use our organic-based proprietary fertilizer to feed the trees and shrubs," states Dean Pilquist, owner of the Montgomeryville franchise.

The NaturaLawnâ of America Tree and Shrub program is designed to increase the overall health and vigor of ornamentals in a way that is safer for you, your family, your neighbors and the environment. A Tree and Shrub Specialist will schedule regular visits, make observations and leave recommendations on hand written notes after each visit.

NaturaLawn of America is headquartered in Frederick, Maryland and has over 61 lawn care franchises servicing environmentally concerned customers in 25 states with their proven lawn care programs and products.
