The Fruit Tree and Shrub Consultation

$150.00

Empowering you to grow with confidence.

Do you stare at your fruit trees every spring, shears in hand, wondering if that one snip will help or hurt? My consultation service is designed for the homeowner who wants more than just a "mow and blow" service. I provide a professional structural prune alongside a hands-on education, so you can take over the reigns next season.

What’s Included in the Session:

  • Comprehensive Health Audit: We’ll spend an hour on your property to assess the vitality of your trees and shrubs. I’ll diagnose any active pests, fungal issues, or nutrient deficiencies.

  • The "First Cut" Professional Pruning: I will perform a complete pruning cycle on trees and shrubs that are accessible from a 2-step ladder. Using high-quality hand tools (handsaws, pole trimmers, and bypass loppers), I ensure clean cuts that prevent the splintering or cracking often caused by heavy power equipment.

  • The Master Plan: You will receive a customized maintenance roadmap. If a tree is significantly overgrown, I’ll mark exactly what needs to go so you can hand a clear, professional plan to an arborist with heavy equipment.

  • On-Site Education: This is the core of the visit. I’ll teach you the "Why" behind the "What":

    • Identifying the "3 Ds": Dead, Damaged, and Diseased wood.

    • Understanding apical dominance and how to manage tree height.

    • Timing your cuts (Winter vs. Summer pruning) for maximum fruit production.

    • Integrated Pest Management Practices

  • Pruning is done at a rate of $150 per hour and is available following the consultation
