Total Lawn Care - State College's Best Landscaping Services

The best first step is a professional assessment. Our team at Total Lawn Care can diagnose whether the issue is simply overgrowth, a common local pest, or a disease like powdery mildew. We often start with careful shrub pruning to improve air circulation and shape, followed by a tailored treatment plan for any underlying insect or disease problems we find. This approach tackles the immediate eyesore and promotes long-term shrub health.

Absolutely. Irrigation timer failures are a frequent issue in our area and can quickly stress shrubs. We recommend supplemental hand-watering for immediate relief while the timer is repaired. For the long term, our shrub care services include proper mulching to retain soil moisture and guidance on adjusting your watering schedule for State College's seasons. We can also assist with shrub transplanting if any plants need to be moved to a more suitable location in your yard.

Shrub removal becomes necessary when a plant is extensively dead, poses a safety hazard, or suffers from a severe, incurable disease that could spread to other plantings. Our experts will first attempt disease or insect management if the shrub has salvageable healthy growth. However, for shrubs that are too far gone or incorrectly placed (like blocking windows), we recommend removal and can help you select and plant a new, more appropriate shrub variety for your State College landscape.
