Why It Matters
🌸
Curb Appeal
Weed-free, mulched beds with healthy shrubs signal a well-maintained property. First impressions matter — for guests, for neighbors, and for resale value.
🌳
Plant Health
Shrubs and ornamentals stressed by poor nutrition or pest pressure grow slowly, look thin, and die prematurely. Regular feeding and treatment keeps them lush for years.
🕒
Saves Your Time
Hand-weeding beds is a never-ending task. Pre-emergent applications stop weeds before they start, so you spend weekends enjoying your yard, not working in it.
💵
Protects Your Investment
Mature shrubs and established ornamentals are expensive to replace. A consistent care program extends their life and keeps them looking like the day they were planted.
Common Questions
What's included in a bed and ornamental program?
Pre and post-emergent weed control in all flower beds, fertilization for shrubs and ornamentals, spring and fall feeding, and insect and disease treatments — all on a scheduled calendar timed to Arkansas's growing season. 7 applications per year.
How do I keep weeds out of my flower beds in Arkansas?
Pre-emergent herbicide in late winter and spring stops weed seeds before they germinate. Post-emergent spot treatments catch anything that breaks through. Professionally timed applications matter here — the long Arkansas warm season gives weeds a wide window if you miss the right timing.
What insects damage ornamental shrubs around Little Rock?
Aphids, scale, spider mites, and lacebugs are the most common culprits. Azalea lacebugs and boxwood leafminers are especially prevalent in central Arkansas. Damage often looks like drought stress — correct diagnosis before treating is critical.
Why are my shrubs turning yellow in summer?
Hot-weather yellowing in shrubs is usually spider mites, scale insects, root issues from overwatering, or heat stress. Spider mite damage looks like bleached stippling on leaves — easy to miss until it's severe. We can diagnose and treat correctly. Call 501-416-7314.
How often do ornamental shrubs need insect and disease treatment in Arkansas?
4 to 6 treatments per year, timed to the pest cycles. Scale insects have a narrow treatment window in spring — miss it and you wait until next year. Our program schedules around these windows so you don't have to track them yourself.
