Pruning and Removals: Green Shepherd will skillfully prune your ornamental trees and shrubs, improving plant form, health, and structure. Our pruning addresses site, scale, and desired outcomes, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing and functional landscape. Additional specialty pruning, such as fruit tree and vine pruning, as well as woodland edge integration, are also available. We will selectively remove trees on a case-by-case basis to facilitate broader landscape objectives.

Consulting: We take a whole-property view for management planning—recommendations are rooted in science, site-specific knowledge, and client expectations.

Ecological Restoration and Vegetation Management: Green Shepherd offers a unique and integrated approach to restoring environmentally sound, healthy conditions on your landscape. We provide invasive-plant management, foster native woodland ecology, mitigate tick habitat, and control noxious poison ivy.

Tree Installation and Establishment: From planting to transplanting and follow-on care, Green Shepherd can manage your tree installation process. We help you pick the right trees for your site, and utilize our industry knowledge and networks to source plant materials tailored to your needs.

Root Zone Excavation: We offer aerial excavation to mitigate impacted and girdling roots that can significantly affect plant health. We reduce soil compaction and increase aeration to the root zone, and conduct root pruning as necessary for the health of the tree.

Plant Health: Green Shepherd offers tree and shrub health inspections, pest and disease control services, and ongoing monitoring so there are no gaps in your plant health program.
