Pruning Trees and Shrubs

Ornamental trees and shrubs accentuate any landscape with blossoms and unique shapes.  Unfortunately, ornamental plants require periodic pruning.  Trees need to be properly pruned to retain their natural appearance.  Pruning also ensures that your landscaping remains uniform and that the plants do not overgrow an area.  Problems can arise when plants grow onto a building or impede walkways or drives.

Sheering a tree like a bush can cause permanent damage and cause future pruning to be required more often.  Additionally, certain ornamentals such as crab apples grow thick foliage, which can lead to die back and disease.  Regular thinning greatly improves the looks and health of crab apples.



Summer Tips

During the winter, you can focus on tasks like dormant pruning trees and shrubs and planning for changes or improvements you want to make in your landscape. Winter is also a great time to take inventory of your gardening tools and do any maintenance repairs that may be needed.
