Tree & Shrub Care
Maintain healthy trees and shrubs with professional pruning, disease management, and seasonal care.
Your Trees and Shrubs Need Attention
Trees and shrubs are major investments in your landscape. They provide shade, privacy, beauty, and value to your property. But without proper care, they can become overgrown, unhealthy, or even dangerous. Regular maintenance keeps them looking great and performing their best.
We have been caring for trees and shrubs in Oakley since 2024. Our services include pruning, health assessments, disease treatment, and general maintenance for all types of woody plants. Whether you need routine trimming or have specific concerns about a struggling plant, our tree and shrub care services keep your landscape healthy and attractive year-round.

We provide comprehensive care for all your woody landscape plants:
- Pruning and trimming: Strategic cutting removes dead, diseased, or overgrown branches to improve plant health, shape, and appearance.
- Hedge shaping: Keep formal hedges neat and uniform or maintain natural-looking informal shapes for privacy screens.
- Deadwood removal: Clear out dead branches that create safety hazards and attract pests or disease.
- Thinning and shaping: Selective pruning allows better air circulation and light penetration while maintaining attractive forms.
- Crown raising and reduction: Adjust tree canopy height and spread for clearance, views, or structural safety.
- Disease and pest treatment: Identify and treat common problems before they cause serious damage.
- Fertilization: Provide essential nutrients to support healthy growth and disease resistance.
Why Regular Pruning Matters
Proper pruning is not just about appearance. It keeps plants healthy by removing diseased or damaged wood before problems spread. It improves air circulation through the canopy, reducing disease risk. It allows sunlight to reach inner branches and understory plants.
Pruning also controls size and shape. Trees and shrubs do not stop growing when they reach a convenient size. Without regular trimming, they outgrow their space, block windows, interfere with power lines, or create hazards near structures. Strategic pruning maintains appropriate size while preserving natural form.
Timing matters too. Most trees benefit from pruning during dormancy in late winter. Spring-flowering shrubs need trimming right after blooming. Summer-flowering plants can be pruned in late winter or early spring. Some plants tolerate year-round pruning while others are sensitive to timing. We prune each plant at the right time to minimize stress and maximize results.
Tree Care for Oakley's Climate
Oakley's hot, dry summers stress trees and shrubs. Proper care helps them handle heat without permanent damage. We prune to reduce water demand while maintaining plant health. We watch for signs of drought stress and recommend watering adjustments when needed.
Local pests and diseases also require attention. Spider mites thrive in hot weather. Scale insects attack stressed plants. Fungal problems develop during wet spring weather. We spot these issues early and recommend appropriate treatments. Many customers combine tree and shrub care with regular lawn maintenance for complete property care.
Safety and Plant Health Come First
Overgrown or damaged trees create real safety risks. Heavy branches over patios, roofs, or play areas can fall and cause injury or property damage. Trees growing into power lines create hazards. Root systems can damage foundations, sidewalks, or underground utilities.
We assess trees for structural problems and make recommendations to reduce risks. Sometimes pruning solves the issue. Other times removal and replacement make more sense. We give honest advice about what is best for your safety and property.
Plant health is equally important. Weak, diseased, or damaged trees and shrubs decline over time and eventually die. Early intervention often saves plants that might otherwise be lost. We look for signs of trouble and address issues before they become serious. Regular care keeps your landscape investment protected. Need help with overall landscape planning? We handle that too.
