Landscape Maintenance - San Francisco Bay Area
Where pruning craft, Plant Health Care expertise, and long-term vision come together to create landscapes that truly live across the San Francisco Bay Area.
At Arborist Now, we don’t “maintain” landscapes in the traditional sense. We care for them. We shape them. We guide them. We help every plant fulfill its purpose and develop into the vision you have for your home.
We are professional pruners and plant managers — not a mow-and-blow service, and not a tree-only company. From small perennials to 80-foot trees, every plant receives the same level of intention, technique, and horticultural expertise.
Your landscape becomes healthier, stronger, more beautiful, and more valuable each year.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Every plant has a purpose — our job is to help it achieve that purpose.
Before we prune a branch or select a species, we ask:
• What should this plant do—Provide privacy? Create shade? Frame a view? Add structure? Bring seasonal color?
• How should it look in three, five, ten years?
We listen closely to the homeowner’s goals. Then we apply our deep knowledge of species behavior, pruning science, Bay Area microclimates, soil health, and PHC to bring that vision to life.
A well-maintained plant is not a cost — it is an asset that appreciates over time.

WHAT WE MAINTAIN
If it grows in your landscape, it’s our job.
• Hedges & Screens — privacy, structure, natural or formal finishes
• Shrubs & Perennials — bloom timing, longevity, rejuvenation
• Vines & Espaliers — training, coverage, architectural shaping
• Ground Covers & Beds — definition, division, weed control, soil health
• Ornamental & Small Trees — structure, form, balance, species intent
• Large Canopy Trees — integrated into your long-term plant vision
FULL PHC FOR THE ENTIRE LANDSCAPE
Healthy plants start with healthy soil.
We apply Plant Health Care (PHC) principles to every part of your landscape, not just your trees.
• Soil enrichment & structure improvement
• Compost, mulch, and biochar applications
• Irrigation tuning and diagnostics
• Nutrient management programs
• Pest & disease diagnosis
• Drought & stress assessments
• Seasonal monitoring and adjustments
PHC allows us to reduce plant stress, strengthen immunity, and extend the life of your landscape.
PRUNING STYLES
Pruning is our craft — and technique matters.
We master all pruning styles so each plant matches your long-term vision:
• Naturalistic pruning — respecting species form & movement
• Formal hedging — sharp lines, consistent planes, dense walls
• Topiary — sculpted shapes, modern forms, layered geometry
• Rejuvenation pruning — restoring tired or overgrown plants
• Fruit & flowering pruning — timed for cycles and production
• View & clearance pruning — opening spaces without harming form
• Architectural pruning — plants as design elements
