Trimming and Pruning

1. Why is trimming and pruning important?
Regular trimming and pruning help promote healthy growth, improve plant structure, enhance curb appeal, and prevent disease or pest infestations.
 

2. How often should trees and shrubs be trimmed?
The frequency depends on the plant type, but most shrubs should be trimmed 1-2 times per year, while trees may need pruning every 2-3 years.
 

3. What is the difference between trimming and pruning?

• Trimming focuses on shaping and maintaining the appearance of shrubs and hedges.

• Pruning involves removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches to improve plant health and growth.
   

4. When is the best time to trim or prune?

• Spring & Summer: Ideal for shaping and maintaining healthy growth.

• Late Fall & Winter: Best for major pruning, as plants are dormant and can recover more easily.
   

5. Will trimming my shrubs make them grow back thicker?
Yes! Proper trimming encourages fuller, denser growth by stimulating new branch development.
 

6. Do you clean up the debris after trimming?
Absolutely! We remove all clippings and debris, leaving your property neat and well-maintained.
 

7. Can improper pruning harm my plants?
Yes, cutting too much or at the wrong time can weaken plants, stunt growth, or make them more susceptible to disease. That’s why professional trimming and pruning are essential.
 

8. Do you trim large trees?
We specialize in shrub and small tree trimming, but for large trees, we recommend hiring a certified arborist.
