For generations, boxwood has been one of the most iconic and beloved plants in Virginia landscapes. Their timeless shape, year-round color, and deep historical roots make them a favorite for homeowners throughout the Blue Ridge region. But as tough as boxwood can be, they still rely on proper maintenance to stay healthy and beautiful.
At Virginia Boxwood Company, we’re passionate about helping property owners protect and preserve these incredible plants. That’s why we offer a Complimentary Pruning & Fertilizing Program for qualifying landscapes. If you have mature boxwood on your property, you may already be eligible—and the process to find out is simple.
What Is the Complimentary Care Program?
This program provides free annual fertilizing in the spring and professional pruning between August and November for qualifying properties.
Our goal is straightforward: help homeowners maintain strong, vibrant, disease-free boxwood for years to come.
With decades of specialized experience in Blue Ridge Mountain boxwood, our team uses proven techniques that support plant health, shape, and longevity. It’s expert care—at no cost—offered to qualifying properties with established boxwood collections.
Do You Qualify? Here’s What You Need
To participate in the complimentary program, your property must meet the following requirements:
✔ At least 40 boxwood plants
Large, established groupings benefit most from structured maintenance, and this threshold ensures we can provide meaningful, long-term care.
✔ Boxwood must be 5 feet tall or larger
Mature plants require a different level of attention than smaller shrubs. Our program is specifically designed for these larger, older specimens.
✔ Plants must be free of deadly diseases such as boxwood blight
We take plant health seriously—for your landscape and for the entire region. Our team checks for signs of disease before enrollment to ensure safe and responsible care.
If your landscape meets these qualifications, you may be eligible for annual visits from our team at no charge.
