Tree & Shrub Care
Keep your trees and shrubs healthy and beautiful with professional pruning, trimming, and plant health care.
Why Tree & Shrub Care Matters
Trees and shrubs are major investments in your landscape. A mature tree can add thousands of dollars to your property value, while shrubs create privacy, define spaces, and add year-round color. But these plants need regular care to stay healthy and look their best.
Proper pruning does more than just make plants look neat. It removes dead or diseased branches, improves air circulation, encourages better flowering, and shapes growth in the direction you want. Timing matters too. Prune at the wrong time of year and you might remove flower buds or leave plants vulnerable to disease.
Regular care also helps you catch problems early. Pest infestations, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies are much easier to treat when spotted quickly. We'll monitor your trees and shrubs during each visit and let you know if anything needs attention.

The Right Way to Prune
Not all pruning is the same. Different plants need different approaches, and timing varies by species. Fruit trees are typically pruned in winter while they're dormant. Spring-flowering shrubs like lilacs should be pruned right after they bloom, not before. Evergreens have their own schedule.
We follow proper pruning techniques that promote plant health. That means making clean cuts at the right angle, removing no more than 25-30% of the canopy at once, and shaping plants to their natural form rather than forcing artificial shapes that stress them.
South Gate's climate lets us grow a huge variety of trees and shrubs, from citrus and avocado trees to roses, hibiscus, and ornamental grasses. We're familiar with what grows well here and how to care for each species properly. Whether your landscape features native California plants or a mix of species, we have the knowledge to keep everything thriving.
Storm Damage & Emergency Services
Santa Ana winds and occasional storms can cause broken branches and other tree damage. We offer emergency services to remove hazardous branches and clean up after storms. Quick response protects your property and prevents further damage to the tree.
Regular maintenance also helps prevent storm damage. We identify weak branches and structural issues before they become problems. If you're planning broader landscape improvements, we can advise on the best tree and shrub selections for your specific site and goals.
