Your trees and shrubs are the backbone of your yard. Live oaks, pecans, shade trees, and foundation plantings shape how your home looks from the street and how it feels when you step outside. When they start to thin out, discolor, or drop leaves at the wrong time, the whole property looks tired.

We look at the soil, water, insects, and diseases around your landscape and build a plan that keeps your plants stronger from the roots up.

Why Tree and Shrub Care Matters in Central Texas?

Central Texas trees face a lot. Hot summers, occasional freezes, shallow soils, and a long list of local pests all push them in different directions.

Common issues we see include:

- Ball Moss making live oak branches look clogged and stressed.
- Live Oak Worms and Pecan Worms chewing through fresh growth and dropping frass on everything below.
- Oak Wilt and Tree Termites quietly attacking valuable trees.
- Winter Stress after hard freezes and dry, windy conditions.
- Discolored leaves, early drop, or poor Fall Color in ornamental trees and shrubs.

Ignoring those warning signs can turn a manageable problem into a costly removal or major repair.

A Plant Health Care Approach, Not Just a Spray

Real Green treats tree and shrub care as a complete Plant Health Care program. Instead of hitting every plant the same way, we look at what you have, where it is planted, and what it has been through.

The idea is simple. Healthy roots, balanced nutrition, and smart Management make your trees and shrubs much better at handling everything Austin’s weather throws at them.

Your program can include:

  • Regular inspections and a tailored Spray Schedule.
  • Targeted treatments for insects and disease when needed.
  • Structural support through Deep Root Fertilization.
  • Focused treatments like Trunk Injections for specific problems such as Oak Wilt or severe nutrient deficiencies.

Diagnosing Problems the Right Way

Guessing at what is wrong with a tree usually leads to wasted time and money. We prefer to diagnose first.

When something looks off, we may recommend:

- Following our How to Sample guidelines to get a proper soil or tissue sample.
- Checking beds and piles for Fungus in Mulch that can spread or signal too much moisture.
- Inspecting for boring insects and Tree Termites in trunks and branches.
- Looking closely for chewing and defoliation from Live Oak Worms or Pecan Worms.

Once we know what is actually happening, we can match the right treatment instead of throwing random products at the problem.

Feeding and Watering Trees the Smart Way

A lot of tree trouble starts in the root zone. Shallow, compacted soil, poor watering, and thin organic matter leave trees and shrubs working harder than they should.

We also help you learn How to Mulch and How To Mulch Shrubs correctly so mulch protects roots without smothering them or inviting rodents and rot.

Real Green uses:

  • Deep Root Fertilization to place nutrients where roots can actually use them.
  • Seasonal guidance on When To Fertilize so you are feeding at the right times, not just whenever you have a free weekend.
  • Practical watering tips backed by our Water Wizard guidance so trees get deep, occasional water rather than frequent, shallow sprinklings.

Pruning, Structure, and Everyday Care

Good pruning and basic care decisions have a huge impact on how long your trees and shrubs stay healthy.

As part of your tree and shrub program, we can:

- Offer direction on Pruning Shrubs so they keep a natural shape and bloom properly.
- Tie pruning timing into your overall Spray Schedule and Management plan.
- Talk through how pruning, watering, and fertilizing choices affect Fall Color and resilience during Winter Stress.

The small decisions made throughout the year often matter as much as any single treatment.

Protecting Trees from Disease and Insects

 

Some landscape problems are too big to ignore, especially when they threaten iconic Central Texas trees.

We connect these services with the rest of your Plant Health Care plan so treatments, Spray Schedule, and Management all work together.

Real Green can help you address:

  • Oak Wilt in live oaks and red oaks with early detection and options like Trunk. Injections where appropriat.
  • Insect pressure that leads to thinning canopies and dead branches.
  • Structural issues and decay that make trees more vulnerable to storms or drought.

Education and Resources to Back You Up

We know homeowners like to understand what is happening in their yards. Alongside our service visits, Real Green provides practical resources that support your decisions, including topics such as:

- Ball Moss, Live Oak Worms, Pecan Worms, and how they affect your trees.
- Fungus in Mulch, Winter Stress, and Fall Color changes.
- Step by step help like How to Sample, How to Mulch, and How To Mulch Shrubs.
- Tree specific concerns like Tree Termites and Oak Wilt.
- Ongoing Plant Health Care, Management, and Spray Schedule guidance.

You are never left guessing. You have a plan and tools to understand it.
