Tree & Shrub Care on Long Island, NY
Care for the whole property, not just the grass.
Your trees, shrubs and planting beds frame your home, and many of them take years to grow. Alongside lawn fertilizing, seeding, pest control and weed control, Emerald Magic offers tree and shrub care and bed maintenance, so one local team can look after the whole property. Choose from our affordable monthly service options or order services individually.
What Long Island Landscapes Are Up Against
Sandy, fast-draining soil, dry spells in midsummer and lean, acidic ground near the Pine Barrens all put stress on ornamental trees and foundation plantings. Problems often begin out of sight and only show up as thinning, yellowing or dieback once a plant is already struggling.
Deer are a constant visitor in many Suffolk neighborhoods. They eat plants, shrubs and grass, damage landscaping, and bring ticks along with them.
Coastal yards face wind and salt air, and winter can be hard on evergreens. Keeping an eye on the landscape, not just the lawn, helps catch issues early.

Trees and Shrubs in Suffolk County
Many Suffolk neighborhoods are shaded by mature oaks, maples and pines, and foundation plantings of evergreens, hydrangeas and flowering shrubs are a Long Island classic. They anchor a property, provide privacy and add real curb appeal.
Those same plantings are on the menu for deer, which are common from the wooded North Shore to the edges of the Pine Barrens. Evergreens such as arborvitae and yews are well-known favorites, which is why deer deterrents are part of protecting a landscape here.
Location shapes the rest. Yards near the Sound or the bays catch wind and salt air, which can brown the exposed side of evergreens. Properties near the Pine Barrens sit on some of the leanest, most acidic soil on the island, where native pitch pines and scrub oaks thrive but many ornamentals struggle. Lots carved out of woodland may have beautiful shade trees with roots competing for every drop of water. Each of these conditions is worth considering when you plan and care for your landscape.
Owner Craig den Hartog is a horticultural consultant and environmental enthusiast who loves helping clients understand healthy lawn and landscape practices. It is the same spirit behind Old Town Blooms, the community project that has planted over 50,000 daffodils along Old Town Road and surrounding areas.
A Year in the Landscape
Deer pressure often rises in fall and winter, when natural food is scarce, so landscape protection matters year-round.
Spring
Beds wake up and shrubs leaf out. It is a natural time to tidy beds and look for winter damage.
Summer
Heat and dry spells stress plantings on sandy soil, so watering habits matter most.
Fall
Leaves drop and deer pressure rises as natural food fades.
Winter
Evergreens face wind and cold, and deer browse whatever is left. Plan next year’s landscape care.

Helping Your Trees and Shrubs Thrive
A few habits go a long way for Long Island landscapes:
Water deeply during dry spells, especially new plantings on sandy soil.
Mulch beds to hold moisture and keep roots cooler, keeping mulch away from trunks.
Choose deer-resistant plants where deer pressure is high.
Keep lawn equipment away from trunks to avoid bark damage.
Watch for changes such as thinning, yellowing or dieback, and let us know.
We monitor your lawn and landscape for unanticipated or developing horticultural issues and periodically advise you on other services we believe your property could benefit from.
