Tree & Shrub Care

Why Tree and Shrub Care Matters

Trees and shrubs are long-term investments in your landscape. They provide shade, privacy, curb appeal, and increase property value. But like any investment, they need proper care to thrive. Neglected trees develop structural problems that become hazardous. Overgrown shrubs lose their shape and block windows. Disease and pests can damage or kill valuable plants.

Regular professional care keeps your trees and shrubs healthy and attractive. Proper pruning encourages strong growth, removes hazards, and maintains the size and shape you want. Our tree and shrub services in Glendora help your landscape mature beautifully while avoiding costly problems down the road.

Pruning for Health and Beauty

Pruning is both art and science. Done correctly, it strengthens trees, encourages flowering, and creates beautiful shapes. Done poorly, it weakens plants and creates entry points for disease.

Why We Prune

We remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches that can fall or spread problems. We eliminate crossing branches that rub and create wounds. We thin crowns to reduce wind resistance and allow light to reach lower branches. For fruit trees, proper pruning improves yield and makes harvesting easier. For ornamental shrubs, we maintain attractive shapes that complement your home.

When to Prune

Timing matters. Most deciduous trees benefit from winter pruning when dormant. Spring-flowering shrubs get trimmed right after blooming. Summer-flowering shrubs are pruned in late winter. Evergreens can be shaped in late spring or summer. We schedule pruning at optimal times for each plant species.

Professional Techniques

We make proper cuts that heal quickly. We never top trees or leave ugly stubs. We maintain natural growth patterns while achieving your size and shape goals. Our tools are sharp and clean to prevent disease spread. Large branch removal follows safety protocols to protect people, property, and the tree itself. This expertise complements our landscape design work by keeping mature plantings healthy and beautiful.

Keeping Trees and Shrubs Healthy in Glendora

Glendora's climate is generally good for trees and shrubs, but we face challenges. Summer heat stresses plants. Occasional freezes can damage tender species. Soil conditions vary widely across town. Proper care addresses these local factors.

We fertilize at appropriate times to support growth without forcing weak shoots. We recommend and apply mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature. We diagnose common problems like chlorosis in citrus and recommend treatments. We monitor for pests like aphids, scale, and boring insects, treating when necessary.

Watering is critical, especially for establishing new trees and during drought. We work with your irrigation system to ensure trees and shrubs get appropriate water. Deep, infrequent watering builds strong root systems. We also identify drainage problems that harm roots and recommend solutions.
