Pruning is a rather generic term for a range of gardening activities. Deadheading spent flowers, cutting back ornamental grasses in the winter, maintaining roses, shaping fruit trees, improving the look and health of trees/shrubs, and even trimming shrubs into topiary masterpieces all fall under the description of pruning.
Expert knowledge makes a huge difference when pruning. Hacking off branches of a tree carelessly can weaken the tree and encourage a messy explosion of unwanted growth in the spring. Allow us to help make the most of your existing plants by pruning them.
