Tree & Shrub Care
Keep your trees and shrubs healthy with expert care services in Towson, MD.
Why Tree and Shrub Care Matters
Trees and shrubs are some of the most valuable plants in your landscape. They provide shade, privacy, curb appeal, and habitat for wildlife. But they also require proper care to stay healthy and look their best. Neglected trees become weak, diseased, or overgrown. Shrubs lose their shape and stop blooming. Without regular maintenance, these problems only get worse.
In Towson, MD, trees and shrubs face challenges like pests, diseases, harsh winters, and drought stress. The key to keeping them thriving is consistent care from professionals who understand local conditions. We offer pruning, fertilization, pest control, and health assessments to keep your trees and shrubs in top shape.
Whether you have mature oaks, ornamental shrubs, or newly planted saplings, we provide the care they need to grow strong and stay beautiful. If you are working on a full landscape upgrade, proper tree and shrub care is essential for long-term success.

When to Schedule Tree and Shrub Care
Timing matters when it comes to tree and shrub care. Here is when to schedule key services.
Late Winter to Early Spring
The best time for heavy pruning. Trees are dormant, so they heal quickly without stress. This is also a good time to inspect for winter damage and apply dormant oil sprays to control pests.
Late Spring to Summer
Ideal for fertilization and light pruning. This is when plants are actively growing and can benefit most from nutrients. It is also when pests and diseases are most active, so monitoring is critical.
Fall
A great time for mulching and a final health check before winter. Avoid heavy pruning in fall, as it can encourage new growth that will not survive the cold.
We can set up a seasonal care plan that covers all your tree and shrub needs throughout the year. If you also need regular lawn maintenance or bed mulching services, we can bundle those together for convenience.
