IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Boutique Care for Lasting Landscapes
We aren't a high-volume removal crew; we are a specialized, three-person team dedicated to the art and science of tree preservation. By staying small, we offer a level of precision and personal attention that larger outfits simply can’t match.
Our mission is to keep your canopy safe, healthy, and standing for years to come. With two Skilled Tree Artisans in the field and a dedicated Operations Manager guiding your project, we provide a seamless, "full-circle" experience from initial diagnostic to expert treatment.

Tree Removal Advisory
We prioritize preservation. Because we focus on maintenance, we do not perform large-scale removals. However, we act as your expert advocate when a tree cannot be saved. We provide:
-
Professional Assessments: Determining if a removal is truly necessary.
-
Educational Resources: Helping you understand your options and local bylaws.
-
Vetted Referrals: Connecting you with trusted removal contractors while we oversee the transition.
Why "Boutique" Matters
When you hire us, you are hiring the owners and the experts—not a rotating crew of laborers. We treat your property like a living ecosystem, providing the "full-circle" care your trees deserve.

Our Service Boundaries
To ensure we provide the highest level of specialized care for your trees and shrubs, we maintain a narrow focus. We are tree health specialists, not general landscapers. As such, our boutique team does not offer the following standalone services:
General Property Maintenance
-
Lawn & Garden Care: We do not offer mowing, lawn chemical treatments, gardening, or general weeding.
-
Debris & Brush Management: We do not provide "chipping-only" services or ground debris cleanup unless it is directly incidental to our specific pruning or restoration work.
Landscape Construction & Infrastructure
-
Hardscaping & Irrigation: We do not install patios, retaining walls, or irrigation systems.
-
Drainage & Erosion: Our expertise is in plant biology rather than civil engineering or drainage control.
Specific Removal Limitations
-
Emergency Response: We do not provide 24/7 emergency "storm-call" dispatch.
-
Stump Grinding: We do not offer standalone stump grinding (though we can coordinate subcontracted grinding for projects we manage).
-
Bamboo Invasive Excavation: We do not provide bamboo removal, as this requires heavy excavation equipment outside our specialty.
Why we specialize?
By declining general landscape and "heavy iron" work, we can dedicate 100% of our attention to the health, safety, and artistry of your standing canopy. If your project requires these services, we are happy to provide referrals to trusted local partners who share our commitment to quality.
TREE REMOVAL
Typically we view tree removal as a last resort while Full Circle Tree & Shrub is equipped to remove large, hazardous trees, from your property while maintaining a safe work environment and fair prices. Always respectful of delicate structures, landscapes and lawns.
PLANT HEALTH CARE
At Full Circle Tree and Shrub we believe that PHC is one of the most important and most overlooked aspects of horticulture. Not surprisingly, it is less expensive to keep a tree healthy than it is to treat a diseased tree.
TREE PRUNING
Think of tree trimming & tree pruning as a haircut for your trees. This service not only improves their aesthetics, but also benefits long-term health. While trimming trees when young is ideal, mature trees should also be periodically pruned

I’ve used Full Circle for 3 separate jobs over the last 5 years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Jeff and Tim care about the work they are doing and take the time to come up with a plan for the long term, they’re not there to give you a quote and move on to the next job. –Jason R.
We’ve used Full Circle twice and have had great experiences both times! They are communicative and do a thorough job! We’ll definitely use them again. –Emily C.
I’ve used Full Circle for several years for trimming and tree removal at my home, from small stuff to much larger projects. Jeff & Tim are conscientious, thorough, knowledgeable, and super professional, and I’m happy to have a great tree service on hand for the inevitable issues that arise on our wooded property. Meghann is also extremely kind, organized, and a pleasure to work with. We love working with Full Circle Tree & Shrub – it’s a 100% positive experience every single time! Highly recommend! — Erika S.
Jeff is great to work with.. prompt, accommodating and doesn’t mind answering questions!! Meghann runs the office and is always bright and easy to work with… I highly recommend their service!! –Shari B.
This was my second time to use Jeff and I’m very pleased with his excellent work. I appreciate Jeff even more after watching another company work on a neighbor’s trees! Jeff is very knowledgeable and makes recommendations that I trust. –Anthony B.
Excellent! Jeff was great to work with; extremely knowledgeable; absolutely no attempt to sell us extra work; in fact, he let us know where things were not needed. His two guys did great work, and did it quickly and thoroughly. They took care of cut branches, swept up leaves, etc. They knew their stuff, too–they were happy to explain things to me. Both had great attitudes. Finally, due to a very small mix-up, they made an adjustment to our bill…which we didn’t ask for, and definitely were not expecting. We were really impressed by that gesture. We look forward to calling them next time we need work on our property. –Nick V.
We were very pleased with the services of Full Circle. The crew was professional, friendly and thorough. They cleaned up the yard very well when they completed the work. I would highly recommend Full Circle and would definitely use their services again. –Ann S.
