Tree & Shrub Care

Why Tree and Shrub Care Matters

Trees and shrubs are long-term investments in your property. A mature tree can increase your home value by thousands of dollars while providing shade, privacy, and beauty. But these plants need regular attention to stay healthy and look their best.

Without proper care, trees develop weak branch structures that can fail during windstorms. Shrubs become overgrown and lose their shape, blocking windows and pathways. Dead branches attract pests and diseases that can spread to healthy parts of the plant. Regular pruning, trimming, and health monitoring prevent these problems and help your plants live longer, healthier lives. Our team has been caring for Cypress landscapes since 2024, and we understand exactly what local trees and shrubs need to thrive.

Professional Pruning Techniques

Pruning is both science and art. Cut too much and you stress the plant. Cut too little and you waste your time. Cut in the wrong place and you create entry points for disease. Our certified arborists know exactly where and when to make cuts that promote healthy growth and attractive form.

Here's what professional tree and shrub care includes:

• Structural Pruning: Removing competing leaders, crossing branches, and weak attachments that could fail later
• Crown Thinning: Selectively removing branches to improve air circulation and light penetration without changing the tree's overall shape
• Crown Raising: Removing lower branches to clear walkways, driveways, or provide clearance for lawn equipment
• Shrub Shaping: Maintaining the natural form of hedges and ornamental shrubs through selective trimming
• Deadwood Removal: Taking out dead, dying, or diseased branches that pose safety risks or harbor pests

We follow industry standards for all pruning work and never top trees or use harmful techniques that compromise plant health. Your trees and shrubs will look better immediately and continue improving as they grow.

When to Prune

Timing matters in tree and shrub care. Most trees benefit from pruning during their dormant season, typically late fall through early spring. This timing minimizes stress and reduces disease risk since fewer pests and pathogens are active in cooler months.

Flowering shrubs require different timing depending on when they bloom. Spring-flowering varieties like azaleas should be pruned right after they finish blooming, while summer-flowering plants get trimmed in late winter. We track pruning schedules for all your plants and recommend the optimal timing for each species.

That said, you can remove dead, damaged, or hazardous branches anytime. If you spot a broken limb or notice disease symptoms, don't wait for the ideal season. Give us a call and we'll assess the situation right away. We coordinate tree and shrub care with your overall landscape maintenance in Cypress for seamless service.

Health Monitoring and Treatment

Beyond pruning, we monitor your trees and shrubs for signs of stress, disease, and pest infestations. Common problems in Cypress include scale insects, spider mites, and fungal infections that show up as discolored leaves or stunted growth.

Early detection makes treatment easier and more effective. We can apply targeted treatments for specific pests or diseases, recommend soil amendments to correct nutrient deficiencies, or adjust watering schedules if we spot drought stress. Sometimes the solution is as simple as adjusting your irrigation system or adding fresh mulch around the root zone.

If a tree or shrub can't be saved, we'll let you know honestly and help you choose a suitable replacement. Our goal is always to preserve your existing plants whenever possible, but we never recommend throwing good money after bad when removal and replacement make more sense.
