Tree & Shrub Care

Protecting Your Landscape Investment

Trees and shrubs represent a significant investment in your property's value and appearance. These plants need specialized care to stay healthy, maintain their shape, and resist pests and diseases. Neglected trees and shrubs become eyesores, lose vigor, and may even die prematurely, costing you thousands in replacement costs.

We provide comprehensive tree and shrub care that keeps your woody plants thriving year after year. From proper pruning techniques to pest management and fertilization, we handle everything your trees and shrubs need to look their best and live their longest. This is an essential part of maintaining a beautiful, healthy landscape.

Complete Tree and Shrub Services

Trees and shrubs have different needs than your lawn. They require specific care at the right times of year to maximize their health and appearance. We know when to prune, what to feed them, and how to protect them from common problems.

We customize our care approach based on what plants you have and their specific needs. A mature oak tree requires different care than ornamental shrubs or evergreen hedges. Our team knows these differences and applies the right techniques for each plant type.

The Art and Science of Pruning

Proper pruning improves plant health, enhances appearance, and prevents problems. Bad pruning does the opposite, leaving trees and shrubs vulnerable to disease, creating weak branch structures, and ruining their natural form. We've seen countless examples of poorly pruned plants that took years to recover or never did.

Our pruning follows arboricultural standards and respects each plant's natural growth habit. We make cuts at the right locations, remove the right amount of growth, and time our work appropriately for different species. This expertise comes from years of training and experience, not from YouTube videos and guesswork.

Regular pruning is especially important for maintaining hedges, foundation plantings, and ornamental shrubs. These plants need consistent attention to keep their shape and size under control. We can work pruning into your regular landscape maintenance schedule so your shrubs always look neat and well-maintained.

Protecting Plants from Pests and Disease

Brentwood's trees and shrubs face numerous threats from insects, diseases, and environmental stress. Scales, borers, leaf spots, and other problems can quickly damage or kill valuable plants if left untreated. We monitor for common issues and apply treatments when necessary to protect your plants.

Prevention is easier and less expensive than dealing with severe infestations or infections. Our plant health care programs include regular inspections and proactive treatments that keep problems from developing. Healthy, vigorous plants also resist pests and diseases better than stressed plants, which is why we emphasize proper feeding and care along with pest management.

We use integrated pest management approaches that minimize pesticide use while effectively protecting your plants. This means using the right product at the right time in the right amount, and considering non-chemical options when appropriate. We also coordinate tree and shrub care with other services like mulching and bed maintenance for comprehensive landscape health.
