Caring for Trees and Shrubs
Need for Professional Tree & Shrub Care
Professional tree and shrub care are essential for promoting the health and beauty of all the elements of your landscape. Just like your turf, the trees and shrubs also need care, pruning, trimming, and fertilization to improve their longevity, health, and protection from weather, diseases, and pests.A look at the foliage alone cannot tell you about the health of your trees and plants. A professional inspection by a qualified arborist is the only way to determine the condition of the greenery. Our crew of certified arborists and landscapers provide comprehensive tree and plant care in Ruston, LA, and the surrounding areas.
Some of the most important reasons for proper and timely landscape care include:
- Ensuring that the trees and shrubs get the right amount of sunlight
- The air circulation in and around the plants stay at the required levels
- Prevent accidents caused by broken branches
- Keep your lawn looking well-maintained and well-trimmed

Pruning Techniques
Before we prune or trim the shrubs, we will assess the plantings and the landscape. This is done to determine the pruning technique that will benefit the health of the shrubs and optimize their looks.- Thinning Shrubs: Selected branches are removed at the base to open the crown. This also keeps the shrub in the required size and optimizes light penetration. This technique also allows optimizing the growth of larger trunks and stems to make the shrubs look like small trees.
- Shaping: The branches are ‘headed’ or cut back so that they meet another branch. The cut is maintained at an angle of 45 degrees.
Our experts will also adjust nutrition and water to your landscape based on the weather and seasonable changes. Plants and trees need consistency, and this is where our services help make a difference.
