Local Shrub Trimming Service
Maintaining your yard’s appearance involves more than planting bushes or flowers and watering them . Shrubs and bushes grow in all directions trying to find sunlight to feed themselves. They can become unsightly, misshapen, and sporadic when branches are left untrimmed for many months or years. Overgrowth can shade delicate flowers in your landscaping beds causing them to suffer or sometimes your shrubs catch disease and die, leaving you with a brown, dead plant amidst your colorful landscaping.
Shrub trimming and removal are crucial in boosting the visual appeal of your outdoor space. These practices contribute to the overall wellness of your yard and ensure that your plants and landscaping features flourish harmoniously. Regular trimming promotes healthy growth, shrubs shaped into aesthetically pleasing forms that complement your yard, and overall a well-kept outdoor environment for you and your guests to enjoy.
How to Properly Prune Your Shrubs
Evergreen Bushes and Hedges
Pruning Evergreens is typically to maintain their size and shape, while also removing dead or diseased branches. This includes trimming the tips of the bushes or the tops off of pines branches to stimulate spring growth.
Deciduous Shrubs
Effective pruning of deciduous shrubs typically involves thinning the plant to allow for new growth. The most common time to do this after the shrubs have finished blooming and flowering. Each bush-type has a “most beneficial” time to prune so be sure to look up optimal times for your specific bush.
Dense, Top-heavy Shrubs
Dense foliage near the top of shrubs can cause the inner branches to die and the bottom of the plant to look lifeless. It’s highly recommended to thin out the top part of the shrub and cut back the dead branches down to the base. This will allow for new growth and branches to have ample light to feed and bring back the vibrancy and fullness of your plant, ensuring longevity and the overall health.
Lopsided Shrubs
Shrubs exhibiting a lopsided growth pattern often feature uneven or imbalanced development, where one side appears more prominent or denser than the other. There are different pruning cuts you can use to trim both sides appropriately (thinning cuts vs heading cuts), but counterintuitively, if you only want to trim one side, you’ll want to prune the short side to encourage growth in that direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should shrubs be trimmed?
The frequency depends on the type of shrub, its growth rate, and your aesthetic preferences. As a general guideline, most shrubs benefit from an annual trimming, while some may require more frequent attention. Our experts can assess your shrubs and recommend a trimming schedule that suits their unique characteristics.
How to move a shrub without killing it?
Transplanting a shrub or bush is a pretty easy process. The biggest thing to understand is you need to include much of the plant's root system as possible to avoid damaging the plant. Thin feeder roots are okay to cut but avoid cutting thicker roots.
Dig your hole ahead of time at the new location, dig around the roots a little wider than you think, pick up and move the shrub, plant at the right depth, backfill with some additional compost and nutrients, firm the soil to prevent the plant from toppling, and water.
