What to Look for in a Tree and Shrub Care Service in Idaho


Your trees and shrubs are the dependable backbone of your landscaping, and you might not realize how much they go through out there.

They’re the quiet types, you know? Never complaining, like those fussy annuals always whining about needing water and deadheading. 

But they need important attention once in a while.

How to choose a tree and shrub care service? Your trees and shrubs won’t tell you. They’re quiet, remember? 

Check out these tips:

Idaho Tree and Shrub Maintenance: Why Do They Need It?

If you’re a tree or shrub in Idaho, you have a lot going on.

Winters here are harsh. Dry winds and winter sun can dry out conifer needles and broadleaf evergreen foliage. 

Tree borers love Idaho trees like birch and ash. These hungry, destructive bugs devour the tree tissue beneath the bark or bore deep into trees, even killing them.


Our precious maples and aspens often have “iron chlorosis,” a nutrient deficiency. They can’t absorb all the nutrients they need from the soil. Affected trees have yellowing leaves that never quite get green. 

And don’t forget aphids. They’re everywhere. (Don’t try looking for them. They’re super tiny, hiding out and sucking the nutrient-rich liquids out of the leaves of your trees and shrubs.)

All of this means occasional tree and shrub maintenance to prevent diseases, battle bugs, and feed your hard-working trees and shrubs so they’re strong and healthy enough to stand up to whatever Idaho dishes out. 

What to look for in tree and shrub care services in Idaho Falls, and Boise, ID?

They Care About Your Yard’s Total Health

You want a company that can deal with anything going on out there, from fertilizing to controlling bugs to offering high-end targeted care like tree injections, that deliver micro-nutrients directly into your stressed tree. This direct treatment works faster and is more effective than spray treatments, which can take weeks to work.

Great Communication

How to choose a tree and shrub care service? Look for a company that keeps you in the know. It’s not always easy finding tree and shrub care companies who really care about communication.

It feels great to know exactly what’s going on out there.

They Know Their Stuff

Don’t settle for tree and shrub maintenance services that don’t care enough to comprehensively train their technicians.

You want a trained and skilled professional — not just an employee who was handed a study guide so they could pass a certification test.

Ask if they provide real on the job training with professionals in the field, and weekly trainings to boost their knowledge.

They Make It Easy For You
