The Ornamental Essentials Program

Round 4

Supporting Plants Through Summer Stress

As summer sets in, ornamental trees and shrubs face some of the year's toughest conditions: heat, drought, and increased pest pressure.

Round 4 is designed to help your landscape handle those conditions by reinforcing plant health and providing targeted protection where needed.

This is peak bagworm season, so each plant will be thoroughly inspected for signs of their activity.

What We Are applying

This round returns to a liquid, organic-based feeding approach, focused on strengthening plants during peak stress.

Primary application:

  • A premium liquid organic fertilizer blend enriched with micronutrients that supports plant health, improves nutrient availability, and helps plants better tolerate heat and environmental stress

Targeted treatment (only if needed):

  • Plants experiencing pest or disease pressure may receive a targeted combination of insect and mite control products to prevent further damage

This approach ensures your plants are fed consistently while only treating problems where they exist.

What To Expect

After your Round 4 treatment, you may notice:

  • Improved resilience during periods of heat and drought

  • Continued healthy color without excessive or forced growth

  • Better overall plant stability during stressful conditions

This round is less about pushing growth and more about maintaining strength and stability.

Post-Treatment Instructions:

To ensure the best results from your treatment:

  • Please allow at least 1 hour before watering to give the application time to fully absorb

  • Keep pets and people off treated areas until surfaces are dry (typically 1–3 hours)

  • There is no need to rinse plants; this application is designed to remain on the foliage

We will leave a clearly visible service sign with the date and time of application, so you and your maintenance crew can easily follow the recommended re-entry window. This helps protect anyone working in the landscape and ensures the treatment is not disrupted before it has time to fully take effect.
