When Should I Be Pruning Trees and Shrubs in New Mexico?

Tree & Shrub Trimming and Care in Albuquerque

 Imagine your property on the cover of Homes and Gardens magazine.

Taylor Swift under one of your trees, saying “I do”, The cast of “WICKED” dancing in your yard at their wrap party.

Okay, we can’t promise any of this. But we can guarantee your trees and shrubs become the envy of the neighborhood when we care for them.

We make sure your trees stay strong so kids can climb them. And we keep them thick and full, so you always have a shady place to relax in the summer.

We protect them from bugs and creepy things, so they stay healthy and huggable. We prune them; the shrubs so they always look nice, the trees so you can stretch out in a hammock and watch the clouds go by. 

We deep-feed the roots so your trees stand tall and proud. And when the temperature chills and the leaves fall, we collect them, so you don’t have to.

We make happy trees and shrubs a reality.

Winter App (Jan-Feb) ---

Spray application of dormant oil to kill hibernating eggs and insects, preventing future infestation of aphids, scale, caterpillars, boring beetles, fungal spores, and harmful bacteria.

Spring App (Mar-Apr) ---

Nutrients, conditioner, and water injected into the root bed help trees and shrubs grow strong and healthy. The treatment blends fertilizer that contains trace nutrients and minerals and a conditioner that helps build a microbiome, improve nutrient intake, and regulate PH in the soil.

Late Spring App (Apr-May) ---

Spray treatment designed to combat pests that attack in warm weather.  We spray the canopy targeting fungi, cankers, and other pests.

Summer App (June-July) ---

Final warm weather spray application, targeting pests that attack when foliage is weakened by heat

Fall App (Sept-Oct) ---

Nutrients and conditioners that stimulate the microbiome and regulate soil PH are injected into the root bed. This strengthens the roots and discourages surface roots

Early Winter App (Nov-Dec) ---

Spray application of dormant oil to kill hibernating eggs and insects, preventing future infestation of aphids, scale, caterpillars, boring beetles, fungal spores, and harmful bacteria.

Application dates may vary because temperatures influence the success of the treatment and we want them to be successful.

Once your greenery is on a proper diet and protected from creepy stuff, you should schedule a trim day to keep it in shape.  You can do that at our Same-Day Yard Clean-up Program.  

Trimming trees improves their health, boosts vitality, improves appearance, and removes hazards such as dead or dying limbs.

  • Increase property value – Well-groomed trees make a positive statement about the upkeep of the entire property.
  • Cost-effective –Trimmed trees are less likely to sustain storm damage which can lead to higher costs from damage to the tree and the surrounding area.
  • Improves the overall health of trees – A well-groomed tree can absorb and distribute water and nutrients more efficiently throughout the tree.
  • Better exposure to sunlight – Thinning some branches can increase the sunlight inside the tree, improving photosynthesis. This promotes better health and a stronger tree.
  •  

Disease Detection–Regular trimming makes it easier to detect insects and diseases. Early detection is vital to preventing a sickness from taking hold and causing serious damage.

Nutrients – Reducing the number of branches per tree can maximize nutrient uptake. In fruit-bearing trees, this means more plentiful and tastier fruits.

Better appearance –Well-groomed trees provide an attractive frame for your home and improve the look of your yard.
