Scruggs Tree Service has proudly served homeowners and businesses in Chester County, Pa since 1977. Urban trees differ greatly from forest trees. In an urban setting, healthy trees just don't happen. It's a very common misconception that trees can take care of themselves, but in an urban setting they face many foes: roads, sidewalks, parking lots, deicing, over fertilization, herbicides, root compaction and even improper mulching and planting techniques.

On your property, insects and microorganisms abound. This is a natural and beneficial state, since insects and microorganisms are key components in nutrient recycling, decomposition, plant succession, natural pest control, and wildlife habitat. Periodic outbreaks of destructive tree pests, as well as diseases, occur as part of natural fluctuations in ecosystems. The actions of homeowners make these outbreaks more severe or lessen their impact locally. To promote a healthy landscape and to prevent pest outbreaks, take steps to ensure diversity and vigor on your property.

Pruning trees properly is a worthwhile investment. Done correctly pruning can improve a trees' structural strength, maintain the health and beauty of the tree and increase your property value. It's important to remember that every cut has the potential to change the growth pattern of the tree. That's why every cut should be evaluated with an educated eye. We take into consideration the size, age and species of every tree we care for, as well as your individual landscaping plans and desires. We understand how each tree will respond to each cut and that damage caused by inferior workmanship will last the lifetime of the tree-or even worse-shorten its life entirely.
