How Expert Tree and Shrub Care Makes a Difference

Trees and shrubs are more than just decorative; they’re actual living things that require routine care beyond watering and occasional trimming. Regular care helps prevent pests, diseases, and even structural issues that can weaken (or even kill) the plant over time if left unchecked. Healthy trees are also much safer for your property. If you have a tree with weak branches or damaged roots, it can become a serious hazard during high winds, storms, or heavy snow. With our tree and shrub care services, you’re helping protect your property from unnecessary risk. 

Tree and shrub care is also quite practical; Simply put, well-maintained, lush greenery really boosts your curb appeal, not to mention your property value. It makes your home look more inviting and well-maintained. Our landscaping experts can ensure that your plants are resilient, flourishing, and able to withstand any weather Central New York will throw at them. 

Our Full Range of Tree and Shrub Care Services

Pruning and Trimming

During our regular pruning and trimming services, we’ll remove any dead or dying, damaged, or overgrown branches. This will encourage the healthy growth of the young branches and improve air circulation. It will also ensure your property is safe by keeping power lines and sidewalks clear.

Plant Transplanting & Tear-Outs

Overplanting and misplanting are common issues that we see in many Syracuse properties. A shrub that needs full sunlight is planted in the shade and can’t grow, or an area gets filled with hundreds of plants because they are tiny, but after three years of growth, the area turns into a jungle that is overcrowded, overgrown, and impossible to manage. Our team at Summit Scapes can correct this overgrowth through professional plant transplanting and selective tear-outs. We can relocate misplaced plants to the right environment and with plenty of space. This method allows you to keep the plants that you already have while opening up your landscaping so it’s cleaner and healthier.

frequently asked questions

How often should my trees and shrubs be professionally trimmed?

Most types of trees benefit from trimming at least once a year, but fast-growing shrubs need two or more trims annually to promote healthy branch growth.

How much does professional tree and shrub care cost?

The cost depends on the type of service and the scope of work being done. For routine pruning or seasonal maintenance, our pricing is typically based on plant size and time required. For new plant installation or transplants, we factor in labor hours, material costs, and the size/maturity of the plants. Each property is different, and the best way to receive an accurate estimate is to schedule a consultation with our team.

How can I prevent tree or shrub damage during storms or winter?

The best way is with regular pruning to remove the weak or dying branches, in addition to proper watering, fertilization, and mulching. We also offer seasonal landscaping maintenance services.
