Tree & Shrub Care Foxboro, MA

Most shrub problems are pruning problems in disguise

Looking for tree & shrub care in Foxboro, MA? Ten Four Landscape & Construction has handled it for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Norfolk County since 2012. Our Wrentham yard is also about twenty minutes away.

Tree and shrub care is where the difference between a landscaper and a lawn crew shows up. Shearing every shrub into a ball in July or cutting spring bloomers in fall does real damage. So does ignoring the scale, winter moth and fungus that quietly kill ornamentals. That is how a mature landscape falls apart one season at a time. Foxboro homeowners have relied on us as their local landscaper for years. So we bring that same approach to every tree & shrub care job in town.

Our program covers structural and maintenance pruning at the right time for each species, plus deep-root feeding for trees and shrubs that are struggling. It also includes monitoring and treatment for the insects and diseases common to this part of Massachusetts. We work on the plants you already have, whether that is a fifty-year-old rhododendron border or the foundation plantings that came with the house.

Why Foxboro, MA homeowners call Ten Four for Tree & Shrub Care

Foxboro is best known for Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place on Route 1, but the town we work in most days is residential. Think colonials and capes on wooded lots around the historic common, neighborhoods off Mechanic Street, Chestnut Street and North Street, and larger rural parcels near F. Gilbert Hills State Forest. We also maintain commercial properties along the Route 1 and Route 140 corridors, where a clean, safe frontage is part of doing business.

Foxboro sits on some of the rockiest ground in Norfolk County. Granite ledge and boulders are close to the surface across much of the town, which changes how we excavate for patios, walls and drainage. Thin soil over rock also dries out fast in midsummer. The low areas near the Neponset Reservoir, Lake Mirimichi and the Cocasset River stay wet. So grading and drainage are usually part of the conversation on any Foxboro property.

What drives the price

Honest answer: we price tree & shrub care in Foxboro, MA by the job rather than off a rate card. Why? Because no two properties are the same. Generally, anyone who quotes a firm price over the phone without seeing the site is guessing. That guess usually turns into a change order later.

When to schedule Tree & Shrub Care in Foxboro, MA

Pruning runs nearly year-round, but the window depends on the plant. It is late winter for most trees and summer bloomers, right after flowering for spring bloomers, and early summer for hedges. Feeding is spring and fall. Pest treatments follow the pest, not the calendar, so the earlier we see the property the better.

Signs it’s time to call

• Shrubs that used to bloom and no longer do
• Hedges that are dense on top and bare at the bottom
• Browning, yellowing or thinning on evergreens
• Foundation plantings covering windows and siding
