Tree & Shrub Care

Protecting Your Landscape Investment

Trees and shrubs are the backbone of your landscape. They provide shade, privacy, beauty, and increase your property value. But they need care to stay healthy. Neglected trees become safety hazards. Overgrown shrubs look messy and block light. Diseased plants spread problems to healthy ones. Our tree and shrub care services in Fontainebleau keep your woody plants looking their best year after year.

We've been caring for South Florida trees and shrubs for years. We understand which plants thrive here, what pests and diseases to watch for, and how to prune without damaging your plants. Whether you need routine trimming or are dealing with a specific problem, we have the knowledge and equipment to help.

Professional Pruning and Trimming

Proper pruning does more than make plants look neat. It removes dead or diseased branches before they cause problems, improves air circulation to prevent fungal issues, shapes plants to enhance their natural form, and controls size to keep plants proportional to your space. Bad pruning can harm or even kill a tree or shrub. We use proper techniques that promote healthy growth and maintain each plant's natural beauty.

Different plants need pruning at different times. Some shrubs bloom on new growth and should be trimmed in early spring. Others bloom on old wood and need pruning right after flowering. Trees have their own timing based on species. We know when to prune each plant for the best results.

• Crown thinning to improve light penetration and air flow
• Crown raising to clear space under trees for walkways or views
• Crown reduction to manage size on mature trees
• Hedge trimming to maintain formal or informal shapes
• Deadwood removal to eliminate hazards and improve appearance

Health Assessments and Treatment

Sometimes a tree or shrub just doesn't look right. Yellowing leaves, stunted growth, unusual spots, or dying branches often signal underlying problems. We assess plant health and diagnose issues. Common problems in South Florida include nutrient deficiencies in our sandy soils, fungal diseases encouraged by humidity, pest infestations like scales or borers, and root problems from poor drainage or damage.

Once we identify the problem, we recommend appropriate treatment. This might include targeted fertilization, pest control, fungicide application, or improving soil conditions. Early intervention usually means simpler, less expensive solutions. If you notice something wrong with a tree or shrub, don't wait for it to get worse.

Storm Preparation and Cleanup

Hurricane season is a reality in South Florida. Strong winds can turn trees into projectiles. We help you prepare by identifying weak or hazardous branches, thinning crowns to reduce wind resistance, and removing dead wood that could break off. Proper pruning before storm season makes your trees safer without removing healthy growth unnecessarily.

After a storm, we handle cleanup and damage assessment. We remove fallen branches and debris, assess whether damaged trees can be saved, and prune out broken limbs properly. Our maintenance crews work efficiently to restore your property. We also coordinate with our design team if you need to replace lost trees or replant damaged areas.
