The Natural State Ornamental Program

Round 2

Slow, Steady Growth Done Right

As your landscape emerges from winter, Round 2 of our Ornamental Tree & Shrub Program focuses on one thing: building strong, healthy plants from the ground up.

This visit centers on a premium liquid fertilizer application that supports root development, improves foliage color, and prepares your ornamentals for better growth heading into the warmer months.

What We Are applying

This round includes a targeted blend designed to nourish plants while addressing issues of active disease, if necessary.

Primary application:

  • A liquid organic-based fertilizer with micronutrients to promote root growth, foliage color, and overall plant health

  • A next-generation systemic insect control that uses a highly targeted mode of action to disrupt pest feeding, providing long-lasting protection while maintaining a strong safety profile for beneficial insects and the landscape.

Targeted treatment (only if needed):

  • A dual-action fungicide used to control and prevent common ornamental plant diseases

We do not blanket-spray every plant. If there’s an issue, we treat it. If not, we focus on feeding and strengthening your landscape.

What To Expect

After your treatment, you may notice:

  • Deeper green foliage and improved plant color

  • Healthier, more vigorous growth

  • Better blooming and overall plant performance

If any plants are affected by disease, they may receive targeted treatment during this visit.

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.
