Tree and Shrub Care in Tennessee & Mississippi
Southern Spray is a family-owned business that has been caring for yards in the community since 1972. During that time, we've learned a lot about tree and shrub care in Tennessee and have perfected our ornamental care process. From season to season, we monitor and treat insect and disease activity, providing custom-blended fertilizer for improved growth, bloom potential, and general health.
