The shrubs and trees that accent your property are a living, growing asset to
your home and property. Trimming your shrubs can save you money in the
long run. A well maintained landscape is one that is kept at an ideal size and
fullness through routine trimming and pruning. Scrubs and hedges may be trimmed
monthly during the growing season. By trimming them back they'll grow more
slowly. The slower a shrub grows the thicker and better it will look.
Proper maintenance is important to keep its size under control as well as to
ensure that shrubs stay healthy. Failure to do so can result in the
overgrowth of shrubs causing them to outgrow their environment. Shrubs not
receiving proper maintenance can also lose their health and appearance value far
earlier than they should. Overgrown, unhealthy shrubs can be resurrected
by trimming 1/3 of the plant per year.
Before beginning, we research what kind of
shrub we are working with; what the natural shape of the
shrub is, conical, globe, upright, or
contorted; and what conditions the plant requires, such as sunlight, shade, wet
soil, or dry soil. Good gardeners also typically avoid pruning after it has just
rained or when the air is damp, as wetness encourages spore growth.
Hedges should be trimmed so that they are wider at the bottom for full healthy
growth.
Flowering shrubs however, should be pruned only after the plant's flowers have
faded, because this is when the shrub
begins to grow buds for the next season.
We typically avoid pruning after it has just rained or when the air is damp, as
wetness encourages spore growth. For the same reason, we sanitize our
equipment before each job.
