Tree Pruning – One of the most imperative steps to improving the health and longevity of your trees is routine pruning which should occur every 3 to 4 years, as recommended by the International Society of Arborculture. This will reduce potential chances of storm damage and undetected hazards. Natural tree pruning consists of removing undesirable branches which are dead, weakened, interfering, diseased or insect-infested.

Shrub Pruning – Shrub pruning consists of thinning by one-third, removing crossing and interfering branches and deadwood. This presents a healthier, more natural way to care for your shrubs.

Shrub Shearing – Shrub shearing removes the foliage on the perimeter of the plant by using electric or gas shears, which results in a formal, structural look.

Insect/Disease Control – There are many factors that can cause stress to your trees and shrubs. Two of the major causes of such stress are insects and diseases that destroy or impair the function of leaves. Spraying and injection treatments are effective techniques to reduce disease and control insect populations infecting your trees.

Ambush Tree Company utilizes both the traditional type of spraying insecticides and pesticides, as well as the modern technology of direct tree injection. Both are effective techniques to reduce insect populations in trees and minimize plant damage due to these pests.

Fertilization - Another major stressor of trees is drought. Drought-weakened trees are deprived of essential nutrients. Watering and fertilization is the single most important measure you can take to augment the vigor and longevity of your landscape. Watering and fertilizing your trees help reduce the severity of drought injury and help trees recover quicker.

Trees receiving regular applications of essential nutrients look healthier and live longer. To correct and prevent nutrient deficiencies, Ambush uses a complete line of fertilizers and soil enhancement variations which are customized for your plant needs.
