Plant & Ornamental Pruning in Fort Dick, CA

Fort Dick is quiet, rural, and green: small farms and homesteads between Lake Earl and the highway, with tree lines that were planted for wind protection back when the land was first worked. Those rows of cypress and spruce are mature now, and mature means maintenance.

How plant & ornamental pruning goes in Fort Dick

Coastal wind crosses the Fort Dick flats off Lake Earl, and the mature cypress and spruce rows planted against it are now tall enough to be a load instead of a shield. That wet climate is why pruning in Fort Dick is mostly about air and light: opening canopies so they dry, spacing shrubs so disease does not move between them, and restoring neglected fruit trees over three seasons instead of one hard cut.

Storm-broken windbreak trees dropping on outbuildings and fence lines are the Fort Dick call we get after every big blow. Fort Dick is ten minutes from the Crescent City base and usually paired with Smith River jobs.
