Tree & Shrub Care

Why Professional Tree and Shrub Care Matters

Trees and shrubs are significant investments in your landscape. They provide shade, privacy, beauty, and can increase your property value by thousands of dollars. But these plants need proper care to thrive. Neglected trees become hazards with dead branches that fall during storms. Overgrown shrubs block windows and walkways. Pest infestations and diseases can spread quickly when left untreated.

Professional tree and shrub care protects your investment and keeps your landscape safe and attractive. At BridgePeak Lynwood Landscaping, we provide comprehensive care services that promote healthy growth, prevent problems, and maintain the appearance you want. Our experienced team understands the specific needs of plants common to Lynwood and surrounding areas.

The Art and Science of Pruning

Pruning seems simple, but improper techniques cause lasting damage. Cutting in the wrong place creates wounds that invite disease. Removing too much foliage at once stresses plants. Pruning at the wrong time of year reduces flowering or exposes plants to cold damage. Our team knows exactly how, when, and where to make cuts for optimal results.

We prune with specific goals in mind. Sometimes we focus on health, removing dead or diseased wood. Other times we prune for appearance, maintaining desired shapes and sizes. We also prune for safety, eliminating branches that hang over roofs or brush against power lines. Each type of pruning requires different techniques and timing.

Regular pruning keeps shrubs dense and compact instead of leggy and overgrown. For trees, proper pruning develops strong branch structures that resist storm damage. We can also rejuvenate overgrown or neglected plants, gradually restoring them to attractive conditions. Combined with our mulching and bed maintenance, regular pruning keeps your entire landscape looking polished and cared for.

Protecting Plants from Pests and Disease

Trees and shrubs face numerous threats in our area. Aphids, scale insects, and spider mites suck sap from leaves, weakening plants and spreading disease. Fungal infections cause leaf spots, powdery mildew, and root rot. Boring insects tunnel into trunks and branches, sometimes killing entire plants.

We watch for early signs of these problems during regular maintenance visits. Early detection and treatment prevents minor issues from becoming major problems. We use integrated pest management approaches that combine cultural practices, biological controls, and targeted treatments when necessary. Our goal is to maintain healthy plants that naturally resist pests and disease while minimizing chemical use.
