It is important to remember that pruning plants is a process, not an event. There is no one-day of the year that all plants are to be pruned. Each species has very specific pruning needs based on flower production and the growing season. There will always be plants that require pruning in the landscape. First priority is pruning for bloom production, second is structure pruning for plant development and third is space management. Space management is most common in mature landscape environments. We must plant within the spaces allocated during landscape design. We work with our employees to help them understand most common landscape plants that are normally used in this area. If you have an extensive planting with specialty items, we can discuss and get a plan to take care of those for you as well.
