Tree & Shrub Care
Keep your trees and shrubs healthy, beautiful, and thriving with professional care tailored to Castro Valley conditions.
Why Trees and Shrubs Need Professional Care
Trees and shrubs are long-term investments in your landscape. A healthy mature tree can add thousands of dollars to your property value. Established shrubs provide privacy, structure, and year-round beauty. But these plants need regular care to stay healthy and look their best. Neglected trees become safety hazards, and overgrown shrubs turn into eyesores.
In Castro Valley, trees and shrubs face specific challenges. Our dry summers stress plants that are not properly watered. Certain pests thrive in our climate. Poor pruning techniques damage plants and create weak growth. Professional tree and shrub care addresses these issues before they become serious problems.

Proper Pruning Makes All the Difference
Most homeowners think pruning is just about making plants smaller. But proper pruning is about plant health and structure. We remove dead or diseased branches that drain energy from healthy growth. We open up dense canopies to improve air circulation and reduce disease risk. We shape plants to develop strong branch structure that handles wind and weight.
Timing matters too. Different plants need pruning at different times of year. Spring-flowering shrubs get trimmed after they bloom. Fruit trees need dormant-season pruning. Evergreen shrubs can be shaped throughout the growing season. We know when to prune each type of plant for best results, and we use proper techniques that promote healthy regrowth.
Keeping Your Plants Healthy Year-Round
Healthy plants resist pests and diseases better than stressed plants. We focus on preventive care that keeps your trees and shrubs vigorous. Proper watering, appropriate fertilization, and good soil conditions make the biggest difference. When problems do appear, we catch them early before they cause serious damage.
