Why Choose Cruger Contracting for Tree & Shrub Care in Spackenkill
Your trees and shrubs are living investments that define your landscape—and they deserve professional attention. Cruger Contracting LLC offers comprehensive tree and shrub care in Spackenkill and Dutchess County, keeping your property safe, healthy, and beautiful year-round.
Our pruning practices follow ISA standards to encourage proper structure and long-term vitality. We shape branches to promote natural form, improve airflow, and reduce the risk of storm damage. Deadwood and hazard removal protects your property while improving curb appeal. Shrubs are pruned according to their species and bloom cycles—spring bloomers trimmed after flowering, summer shrubs shaped in early spring—ensuring reliable flowering without stress or bud loss.
We take a proactive approach to pest and disease management, identifying issues early and treating them before damage spreads. Common NY challenges such as emerald ash borer, hemlock woolly adelgid, scale insects, and leaf spot diseases are handled with precision, using targeted and environmentally responsible methods. Our team monitors trees and shrubs throughout the season, combining organic controls, pruning adjustments, and selective treatments to maintain balance in your landscape.
Deep root fertilization feeds your woody plants where it matters most—beneath the turf layer, directly at the root zone. Our injection process delivers slow-release nutrients that improve growth, strengthen resistance to drought and disease, and enhance leaf color naturally. We schedule applications in spring and fall for maximum uptake and long-term health.
From ornamental specimen pruning to full property health programs, Cruger Contracting LLC ensures every tree and shrub in Spackenkill receives the care it needs to thrive for years to come.
Seasonally Timed Pruning & Shaping
Proper timing is key to pruning success. We schedule all pruning around Spackenkill plant species and bloom cycles—spring shrubs pruned after flowering, summer varieties cut in early spring, and shade trees trimmed during dormancy. This ensures strong growth, consistent blooms, and reduced disease risk in NY conditions.
Targeted Pest & Disease Protection
Our team identifies pest and disease issues early, treating them with the right method at the right time. We manage emerald ash borer, scale, blight, and other NY threats using proven, eco-conscious practices that protect both plant health and your property’s ecosystem.
Deep Root Fertilization for Lasting Health
We feed trees and shrubs from the roots up. Cruger Contracting LLC’s deep root fertilization delivers nutrients directly into the soil profile, bypassing turf competition and improving uptake. The result: stronger growth, better color, and improved resilience through NY weather extremes.

Bruce H.
This project was large at least in my dwelling place. Restructure of the brick work I put in over 15 years ago. I had weeds growing uncontrollably and starting to hurt my plants. Cruger took care of it and even saved some of my favorites. Cruger has shown pride in their work and were extremely kind and wanted to do the best they can to achieve it. I am extremely satisfied in the final product. They were very fair in their pricing and were happy to work with my budget. I can’t stop looking at it. It brings a lot of joy and gives me an opportunity to add what I feel like adding without a weed issue ever again. Give them a call and you’ll be happy you did.
Howard B.
James did a phenomenal job. He cleared a large bluestone planter, mulched and planted a beautiful variety of perennials. He planted new azalea bushes in 2 other locations and everything looks amazing. His work was meticulously done. We are very pleased with how everything turned out, and will be calling James Cruger LLC for future work. Highly recommended.
