Our state is covered in beautiful trees. In our years of service to those trees, we've seen many, many kinds. But some trees are seen more often than others in residential yards.

Summer temperatures are soaring high across the Carolinas. Due to high temperatures, it’s the perfect time to make sure your mulch is properly placed! Just as sunblock protects and preserves our skin, mulch works the same way for trees and plants. Mulch cools and protects not only the trunk of the tree but also the root system, if properly placed. If you've ever noticed trees with mounds of mulch around the base, this could be doing more harm than good. We don't want that for your trees! We want your trees happy and healthy and properly mulched. Protect and preserve trees and plants on your property with our top 4 mulching tricks.
Azaleas are in full bloom and a real treat in our southern landscapes. These vibrant shrubs soften the edges of our urban environment and provide incredible color during the spring.

A primary threat to these beautiful blooms is the lace bug. In this post, we'll share how to spot lace bugs and recommendations on how to treat for this pest.

The maple tree is a beautiful and sturdy tree find across North Carolina. If your maples are looking a little less than spectacular, it is likely caused by an insect called Gloomy Scale. Below we'll share how to spot Gloomy scale and how to treat your maples if they are showing signs of this scale.
Gloomy Scale is an armored “scale insect” that attaches itself to the bark and sucks out nutrients, water, and sugars from the tree. In heavy infestations the tree will suffer from a lack of nutrition. This is how Gloomy Scale shows up on trees: discolored leaves, cracking of the bark, weak and improper growth patterns and branch dieback. In many cases we've seen across Charlotte, Concord, Greensboro, and Raleigh, NC trees end up dying if left untreated.
