Tree & Shrub Care

More Than Just Trimming Branches

Your trees and shrubs are some of the most valuable plants in your landscape. They provide shade, privacy, beauty, and can even increase your property value by thousands of dollars. But they also need proper care to stay healthy and look their best. Overgrown shrubs make your home look neglected. Dead branches on trees can be dangerous. And pest or disease problems that go unnoticed can kill even mature trees.

At RidgePro DeSoto Landscaping, we provide complete tree and shrub care for homeowners throughout DeSoto and the surrounding areas. From pruning and trimming to health assessments and treatments, we help your trees and shrubs thrive year after year.

Our Tree & Shrub Services

Proper tree and shrub care involves more than just cutting things back once a year. Different plants need different approaches at different times. Here's what we do to keep your woody plants healthy and attractive:

• •Professional pruning to improve shape, health, and flowering
• •Trimming and shaping to maintain size and enhance curb appeal
• •Removal of dead, diseased, or damaged branches for safety
• •Health assessments to catch problems before they become serious
• •Deep root fertilization to strengthen trees from the inside out
• •Seasonal care tailored to Texas climate and growing conditions

We use proper pruning techniques that promote healthy growth rather than just hacking things back. Wrong cuts can damage trees and make them vulnerable to disease. Our team knows where and how to prune for the best results.

Why Timing Matters

When you prune matters almost as much as how you prune. Most trees should be pruned during dormancy in late winter before new growth starts. But spring-flowering shrubs like azaleas need to be pruned right after they bloom, or you'll cut off next year's flowers. Pruning at the wrong time can stress plants or remove buds that would have produced beautiful blooms.

That's why we schedule tree and shrub care at the right times for each type of plant in your landscape. Whether you have crepe myrtles that need careful pruning or overgrown foundation shrubs that are blocking your windows, we know the best time and technique to get the results you want.

Protecting Your Investment

Regular tree and shrub care isn't just about looks. It's about protecting your investment in your landscape. Removing dead branches prevents property damage during storms. Proper pruning helps trees develop strong structure. Early detection of pest or disease problems can save a tree that might otherwise die. And well-maintained trees and shrubs significantly boost your property's curb appeal and value. Combine this care with proper mulching and thoughtful landscape design, and you'll have an outdoor space that looks amazing year-round.
