Shrub Pruning

What This Service Involves

Pruning is more than cutting things back – done right it improves a shrub's structure, health, and flowering while keeping it in scale with the space. We prune to the natural form of each plant, removing dead and crossing wood, opening the interior for light and air, and timing cuts so we do not sacrifice next season's blooms. The result is healthier shrubs that flower better and stay the right size, rather than sheared blobs that fight their surroundings.
