Greener Living Tree & Shrub Care — Chicago & Suburbs

Local Tree & Shrub Care

We offer a monthly tree and shrub service designed to keep all unwanted pests and fungi away from your trees and shrubs. Our general prevention service includes insect and disease sprays, deep root fertilizing, and horticultural oils. All applications are performed by trained and licensed professionals who know exactly how to best care for all of your landscapes. We also leave you detailed notes with each application to keep you informed as to the health of your trees and shrubs. Pair our tree care with a professional lawn treatment and overseeding for a complete lawn service that covers your entire property. This is a great program for anyone interested in preventing insects and disease in your landscapes. If there is a active concern with any trees or shrubs please request a free evaluation and we can come up with a specified treatment plan.

Direct Trunk Injection

Direct trunk injections are widely recognized as the most effective way to treat most insect and disease issues with our trees and shrubs. The process is quick, cost-effective, and completely safe for your tree. The treatment itself is a simple process where we inject insecticides, fungicides, or nutrients through small ports around the base of your tree. While being more effective than sprays it is also more environmentally conscious as we are not spraying the products, we are injecting them right into the tree and it will not get on anything that it is not supposed to. If you have any concerns with any trees or shrubs on your property please request a free evaluation and we can tell you if this process is right for you and your trees.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree & Shrub Care

What does the tree and shrub care program include?

Our comprehensive tree and shrub care program includes deep root fertilization, insect sprays, disease control (fungicide treatments), dormant oil applications, and seasonal monitoring. We customize treatments based on the specific trees and shrubs on your property.

When is the best time for tree care in Illinois?

Tree and shrub care in Illinois is a year-round effort. Dormant oil is applied in early spring before bud break. Insect and disease sprays run spring through fall. Deep root fertilization is best done in fall when roots are actively storing nutrients for winter.

Do you offer deep root fertilization?

Yes! Deep root fertilization injects nutrients directly into the root zone of your trees and shrubs, bypassing compacted soil and grass competition. This is one of the most effective ways to improve tree health and vigor.

How do you protect trees from emerald ash borer?

We offer direct trunk injection treatments that provide systemic protection against emerald ash borer (EAB). These injections are applied every 1-2 years and are the most effective defense against this devastating pest.

What trees and shrubs can you treat?

We treat all common Chicagoland trees and shrubs including oak, maple, ash, elm, birch, ornamental crabapple, arborvitae, boxwood, hydrangea, and many more. We'll assess your specific landscape and create a customized program.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Greener Living's tree and shrub care program include?

Our 7-round tree and shrub care program includes deep root fertilization, insect control (aphids, mites, scale, Japanese beetles), disease management (apple scab, fire blight, powdery mildew), horticultural oil dormant spray, and winter anti-desiccant protection for evergreens.

When should I start tree and shrub care?

Our program runs from early spring through late fall. The first application is a horticultural oil dormant spray applied before bud break in March-April. This kills overwintering insect eggs and prevents early-season infestations.

Do you treat emerald ash borer?

We provide preventive treatments for emerald ash borer (EAB) and other tree-threatening insects. Early treatment is critical — once symptoms appear, the tree may be too damaged to save. Call us for a free assessment.

Is tree care separate from lawn care?

Yes, tree and shrub care is a separate program from our lawn fertilizing and weed control service. Many customers enroll in both for complete property care at a bundled price.

What areas do you serve for tree care?

We provide tree and shrub care throughout the Chicago suburbs including Arlington Heights, Evanston, Glenview, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Wilmette, Winnetka, and 29 other communities.
