Tree & Shrub Care Service in Winston-Salem, NC
Trees and shrubs do a lot for a yard. They add structure, shade, and real value to your property, and they take years to grow into what they are. Losing one to a pest problem or disease is a setback that's hard to recover from, and harder to replace.
Just like your lawn, your trees and shrubs need consistent nutrition and protection to stay healthy. Insects, fungal diseases, and nutrient deficiencies can quietly weaken even the most established plantings before you notice anything is wrong. The good news is that most of that damage is preventable with the right care plan.
At Tailor Made, our certified arborist-backed team has been serving North Carolina for 30 years. We use a combination of tree fertilization, foliar treatments, and root drenches to keep your ornamentals in top shape through every season. No contracts, no guesswork, just care that's tailored to what your yard actually needs.
Here's what our Winston-Salem program covers:
- Tree Fertilization
- Tree Injections
- Disease Treatments

- Emerald Ash Borer Control

Warning Signs Your North Carolina Trees and Shrubs Are in Trouble
North Carolina's diverse climate and rich variety of native and ornamental plants create a beautiful landscape, but that same environment invites a range of threats that can quietly take hold before you notice anything is wrong. With over 600 species of trees and shrubs growing across the state, each one comes with its own set of vulnerabilities tied to soil conditions, seasonal shifts, and local pest pressure.
Catching problems early makes all the difference. By the time visible damage appears on your trees and shrubs, the underlying issue has often already been developing for weeks or even months. Knowing what to look for helps you act before minor stress turns into major loss.
Here are the most common signs your North Carolina trees and shrubs need professional care:
- Yellowing, browning, or pale leaves outside of normal seasonal changes
- Premature leaf drop or sparse canopy growth in spring and summer
- Visible spots, lesions, or powdery residue on leaves and stems caused by fungal or bacterial disease
- Sticky residue or sooty mold on leaves, often a sign of active insect feeding
- Unusual holes, tunneling marks, or bark damage from boring insects
- Wilting branches or dieback that spreads progressively through the plant
- Stunted growth or failure to leaf out fully during the growing season
- Discolored or distorted new growth pointing to nutritional deficiencies in the soil
- Clusters of insects, webbing, or egg masses on leaves, branches, or at the base of the plant
- General decline in plant appearance with no clear single cause
Any one of these signs is worth taking seriously. When multiple appear together, the health of your trees and shrubs may be deteriorating faster than it looks from the outside. Getting a proper evaluation from a knowledgeable team familiar with local ornamentals and regional plant stressors puts you ahead of the problem rather than behind it.
