Tree & Shrub Care

Professional Care That Protects Your Investment

Trees and shrubs are some of the most valuable plants in your landscape. Mature trees can add thousands of dollars to your property value, while healthy shrubs provide privacy, structure, and curb appeal. But they need regular care to stay healthy and looking their best.

Most tree and shrub problems develop slowly. By the time you notice yellowing leaves, dead branches, or pest damage, the issue has usually been building for months. Regular professional care catches problems early when they're easier and less expensive to fix.

Pruning and Shaping

Proper pruning keeps trees and shrubs healthy while maintaining their natural shape. We remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches that can spread problems to healthy parts of the plant. We also thin crowded growth to improve air circulation and light penetration, which reduces disease pressure.

Timing matters with pruning. Spring-flowering shrubs should be pruned right after they bloom, while summer-flowering shrubs get pruned in late winter. Most trees are best pruned during dormancy. We schedule pruning at the right time for each plant type to avoid interfering with flowering or new growth.

For hedges and formal shrubs, regular shaping maintains clean lines and dense growth. We can prune to specific heights and shapes, or maintain natural forms depending on your landscape design. Proper pruning also prevents plants from overgrowing walkways, windows, or other structures.

Health Monitoring and Treatment

Trees and shrubs face various threats in our area. Common issues include scale insects, spider mites, leaf spot diseases, and winter damage from salt spray near roads. Early detection and treatment prevent minor problems from becoming major ones.

We monitor your plants for signs of stress, pest infestation, or disease. When we spot problems, we recommend appropriate treatments. This might include targeted applications to control specific pests, fungicide for disease issues, or cultural changes to improve growing conditions.

Fertilization is also important for long-term health. Trees and shrubs in landscape settings often lack the nutrients available in natural forest or woodland environments. We apply balanced fertilizers at appropriate times to support strong growth and improve resistance to pests and diseases. This service pairs well with our mulching services to create optimal growing conditions.
