Shrubs are amazing plants. They grow incredibly strong branches with thick leaves above ground and anchor themselves with incredibly powerful roots that burrow deep into the ground. This is especially true for shrubs in South Florida given our warm tropical climate and year-round rain. They are beautiful and practical in creating a barrier around your property.

Shrubs will grow very wild if not maintained properly. Regular trimming is actually really healthy for the plant and even more healthy to the overall aesthetic of your property. When you trim your shrubs, you create a healthier environment for the plant to flourish as well as a beautifully styled piece of art.

In addition to looking better, the removal of excess shrubs will help with the concentration of pests inside them. Overgrown shrubs can be a breeding ground for fleas, ticks, rats, and even possums. It’s this reason that we consider trimming and maintaining shrubs such an important part of the overall health of your property’s landscape.

Sometimes, we have to remove shrubs, and although this is something nobody wants to face, it has to be done. Since shrubs’ roots grow strong and wide, they sometimes interfere with a property’s pipe system. In these cases, property owners are left with no other choice than to remove the shrubs permanently. This usually happens when they were mistakenly planted too close to the property or a structure.

Another unfortunate reason to have to remove shrubs is when they start to compete with surrounding trees for resources. Many times, the powerful roots of a shrub start to outperform an older tree, causing damage to the tree. In these cases, many property owners opt to remove the shrubs and save the tree.

Shrub removal isn’t easy either. Much like all the other services we offer, this task is completed with the help of heavy machinery. Since these plants are so strong their roots grow so powerful, this job becomes practically impossible to accomplish by hand.
