Why Proper Pruning Matters

Pruning is not just about making plants look good. When done correctly, it improves plant health by removing diseased or damaged wood, increases air circulation to prevent fungal problems, and stimulates new growth. Proper pruning also keeps trees from interfering with power lines, roofs, and structures.

Timing matters too. Most trees benefit from pruning during their dormant season in late winter or early spring. Flowering shrubs should be pruned right after they bloom so you do not cut off next year flowers. Evergreen shrubs can be trimmed several times during the growing season to maintain their shape. We know when and how to prune each type of plant for the best results. Poor pruning techniques like topping trees or shearing shrubs into unnatural shapes actually harm plants and create long-term problems.

Keeping Your Trees Safe and Healthy

Trees add tremendous value to your property, but they can also pose risks if not properly maintained. Dead branches can fall and cause injury or damage. Trees growing too close to your house can interfere with your roof or foundation. Diseased trees may spread problems to other plants in your landscape.

We inspect your trees for signs of disease, pest damage, or structural problems. Catching issues early often means we can save the tree with targeted treatment. When trees do need to be removed for safety reasons, we handle it professionally and can help you select and install replacement trees. Regular tree care is an investment in your property safety and curb appeal. Healthy, well-maintained trees can add 10 to 20 percent to your home value. Combine your tree care with our mulching services to give your trees the best growing conditions, and consider adding landscape lighting to showcase your beautiful mature trees at night.
