Species-Specific Pruning

Different shrub species have unique pruning requirements and optimal timing for trimming. Our team understands these differences and applies appropriate techniques for each plant type in your landscape to ensure healthy growth and maximum flowering.

For example, spring-flowering shrubs like lilac and forsythia should be pruned immediately after blooming, while summer-flowering plants can be trimmed in late winter. Proper timing can increase flowering by up to 50% compared to incorrect pruning schedules.

Formal Hedge Maintenance

Formal hedges require regular, precise trimming to maintain their shape and density. We provide scheduled maintenance programs that keep your hedges looking perfect year-round. Our techniques promote dense growth while maintaining the desired height and width.

Professional hedge trimming typically requires 2-3 sessions per growing season for optimal results. This frequency maintains shape while preventing the sparse, woody growth that occurs when hedges are severely cut back after being neglected.

Rejuvenation Pruning

Overgrown or neglected shrubs often benefit from rejuvenation pruning, which involves more aggressive cutting to restore plant health and appearance. This technique removes old, woody growth and stimulates fresh, vigorous shoots.

While rejuvenation pruning may temporarily reduce the plant's size, it typically results in healthier, more attractive growth within one to two growing seasons. This approach can extend the life of mature shrubs by 10-15 years when properly executed.

Seasonal Maintenance Programs

We offer comprehensive maintenance programs that include regular shrub and hedge trimming as part of your overall landscape care. These programs ensure consistent appearance and plant health while providing cost savings compared to individual service calls.

Our maintenance schedules are customized based on your specific plants, growth rates, and aesthetic preferences. Regular care prevents the need for expensive renovation work and keeps your landscape looking professionally maintained year-round.

Complete Cleanup Service

Professional shrub trimming includes complete cleanup and disposal of all clippings. We leave your property clean and debris-free, ready for you to enjoy your beautifully maintained landscape without any additional work on your part.

Shrub clippings can often be composted or used as mulch, providing additional value from the trimming process. We can advise you on beneficial uses for organic material generated during pruning services.
