We
like to recommend natural pruning of shrubs. A highly
valued specialty, our hand pruning
results in healthy, pleasantly sized and shaped, densely
foliated specimens that enhance your property. And
when shearing needs to be done, there’s a right
way to do it. Let us show you what we mean! Seeing
what once were natural looking shrubs, sheared into
geometrically shaped, woody structures with little
foliage, no beauty left, makes our arborists shudder!
Depending on your goals, our pruning techniques may
include any of the following:
• Natural hand pruning. Maintaining size, promoting health
and internal growth.
• Rejuvenation pruning. A special care technique, shrub
and season-dependent.
• Shearing. Appropriate for formal hedges, shearing requires
a lot more than a sharp instrument in a pair of strong
but unskilled hands. Shearing demands professional
knowledge of plant physiology and health.
