Services
Tick Management Services
Targeted tick treatments reduce disease risks while maintaining outdoor safety. Our Connecticut-based team uses EPA-registered solutions that eliminate ticks without harming local ecosystems. Services include perimeter applications and seasonal maintenance for residential properties.
Lawn & Turf Management
Comprehensive lawn programs address fertilization, weed control, and soil health. We implement customized aeration and overseeding techniques to combat compaction while promoting dense, resilient turf growth across Connecticut landscapes.
Fruit Tree & Orchard Care
Specialized care for fruit-bearing trees includes disease prevention and yield optimization. Our arborists perform precision pruning and soil analysis to maximize productivity while maintaining organic compliance for backyard and commercial orchards.
Tree & Shrub Health Treatments
Customized treatments protect against invasive species like Japanese beetles and borers. We employ systemic insecticides and biological controls to preserve tree structure while maintaining ecological balance in residential settings.
Deer Repellent Applications
Environmentally safe repellents deter deer browsing without harming animals. Our barrier treatments protect ornamental plants and gardens using scent-based deterrents that remain effective through seasonal weather patterns.

Report
Matt Lang and his Shoots to Roots crew removed a very large locust tree that had partially fallen and was being held by two other trees. Behind my barn. Had it fallen it probably would have taken out part of the barn and any car that was parked in the driveway. It was a very technical removal and Shoots To Roots did an outstanding job!

Report
Called and confirmed a 4:30pm appointment. At around 4pm, suddenly moved to 5:30pm. Already 7:30pm and suddenly said he came to the house but theres no one at the house where I was waiting by the back yard. How can you even trust someone who cant commit to a time and even lie to you that they went to your place even though they dont.
