Trimming & Pruning Services for Arbutus unedo (Strawberry Tree) in Seattle

If you’re a homeowner or property manager in Seattle, you may have noticed your Arbutus unedo, commonly known as the Strawberry Tree, growing more lush and unruly over time. While these trees add beautiful greenery and unique fruit to your landscape, they require proper trimming and pruning to maintain their health and aesthetic appeal. Regular maintenance not only enhances curb appeal but can also prevent potential issues like overcrowding, pest infestations, and damage during storms.

In this article, we’ll guide you through the importance of trimming and pruning your Strawberry Tree, how we approach these services, what’s included, and why it matters for you.


Our Approach

  • Assessment: We start by evaluating the health and structure of your Strawberry Tree. This includes checking for dead or diseased branches and assessing the overall shape.

  • Precision Pruning: Using sharp, clean tools, we carefully prune to remove excess growth. This encourages better air circulation and sunlight penetration, essential for a healthy tree.

  • Seasonal Timing: We schedule our trimming services during the optimal times of year, typically late winter or early spring, to minimize stress on the plant.

  • Waste Management: All debris will be removed from your property, leaving your landscape clean and tidy.

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal is fewer problems between visits and less work for you.


Service Cadences

To best fit your needs, we offer several service options:

  • Quarterly: Ideal for those who prefer a spring/fall deep clean with two tune-ups in between to keep everything in check.

  • Bi-Monthly: Balanced care for most yards, ensuring your Strawberry Tree receives consistent attention without overwhelming your schedule.

  • Monthly: Best for high-visibility properties and rentals where appearance is crucial.


What’s Included

Our trimming and pruning service for Arbutus unedo includes:

  • Initial Consultation: A thorough assessment to discuss your goals and expectations.

  • Pruning: Removal of dead, damaged, or overcrowded branches to promote healthy growth.

  • Shaping: Aesthetic shaping of the tree to enhance its natural form and maintain its beauty.

  • Debris Cleanup: All cuttings and debris will be removed from your property.

  • Care Tips: After service, we provide simple care tips to help you maintain your tree’s health.


Why It Matters

Regular trimming and pruning of your Strawberry Tree is essential for several reasons:

  • Healthier Growth: Removing unhealthy branches allows the tree to focus its energy on producing new growth and fruit.

  • Improved Aesthetics: A well-pruned tree enhances your landscape’s appearance, increasing curb appeal and property value.

  • Safety: Overgrown branches can pose a risk during storms. Regular maintenance reduces the chances of falling limbs that could damage your home or nearby structures.

  • Pest Control: Proper pruning helps minimize hiding spots for pests, reducing the likelihood of infestations.


How It Works

  1. Quick Estimate: We offer a clear, upfront pricing model based on a photo/video or onsite assessment of your Strawberry Tree.

  2. Set Your Schedule: Choose a maintenance frequency that works for you—quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly.

  3. Service Day: Our team will arrive on the scheduled day to clear, prune, and edge your trees. If desired, we can also refresh mulch or gravel around the base.

  4. Follow-Up: After our work is done, we’ll provide you with care tips and discuss any additional services you might need.
