Tree & Shrub Care in PA & New Jersey


Healthy trees and shrubs add beauty, value, and curb appeal to your property. At Sunlight Water and Us, we specialize in protecting ornamental trees and shrubs from damaging insects, diseases, and environmental stress through professional plant health care programs.

Our treatments are designed to keep your landscape healthy throughout the growing season while helping prevent costly plant replacement.

Services may include:

Systemic Insecticide: Systemic treatments are applied through soil injection and absorbed by the plant’s root system. This long protection against many chewing and sucking insects while minimizing the impact on beneficial insects.

Disease Prevention & Control: Many ornamental plants are susceptible to fungal disease that can damage foliage, reduce plant vigor, and impact appearance. Preventative fungicide applications help protect susceptible plants before disease becomes established.

Common Diseases Treated

  • Anthracnose
  • Leaf spot
  • Powdery Mildew
  • Needle Cast
  • Scab Diseases
  • And many other ornamental fungal issues

Insect and Mite inspection and treatment: Our technicians inspect trees and shrubs throughout the season and treat when necessary for pests such as

  • Lace Bugs
  • Bagworms
  • Leaf Miner
  • aphids
  • Mites
  • Scale
  • Japanese Beetles
  • Spotted Lantern Fly
  • Other ornamental tree and shrub pests


Spring Fertilization: Spring fertilizer applications provide essential nutrients that support healthy growth, improved color, and overall plant vigor. Proper fertilization helps trees and shrubs recover from winter stress and establish strong seasonal growth.

Fall Fertilization: Proper nutrition helps trees and shrubs develop stronger root systems and prepare for winter. Our fall fertilizer applications promote plant health and encourage vigorous growth the following season.

Anti-Desiccant: Winter weather can cause moisture loss and damage to evergreens and other sensitive plants. Anti-desiccant treatments help reduce winter burn and protect valuable landscape plants.

Our tree and shrub program is a customized plant health care plan designed around the specific needs of your property and landscape. Different trees and shrubs face different insect, disease, nutritional, and environmental challenges throughout the year, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Our licensed technicians evaluate your landscape and develop a treatment program based on the plant varieties present, their growing conditions, and the seasonal issues they may encounter.

Through regular inspections and targeted applications, we help protect your investment and keep your trees and shrubs healthy throughout the seasons.

Trees and shrubs face different insect, disease, nutritional, and environmental pressures throughout the seasons. A treatment that is effective in early spring may not address issues that develop during summer or fall.

At Sunlight Water and Us, we follow an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. This means we regularly monitor plant health, identify potential problems early, and make treatment decisions based on the specific needs of the landscape rather than applying unnecessary products. Our customized program provides ongoing inspections and seasonal treatments designed to address changing landscape conditions throughout the season.

By combining regular monitoring, preventative care, and targeted treatments, we help protect the health, appearance, and long-term value of your trees and shrubs while promoting responsible landscape management.
