What pruning is actually for
Pruning removes dead and dying branches and stubs, allowing for new growth and promoting the plant’s natural shape and healthy growth, while also deterring pest and animal infestation. It protects people and pets from injury caused by hazardous branches.
Most overgrown foundation plantings in the Triangle got that way the same slow route: nothing for a year or two, then a hard shear that takes off all the new growth and leaves a dense shell with dead wood inside. Regular, lighter pruning avoids that cycle entirely.
We work on an as-needed basis or at regular scheduled intervals, whichever suits the property. Our team is punctual and pays attention to detail.
A good prune is mostly about what you take out, not what you shape.
