Small Tree Pruning

Pruning small trees and shrubs is essential for maintaining their health, shape, and structural integrity. Proper pruning encourages new growth, enhances flowering or fruiting, and prevents potential hazards such as weak limbs or overgrowth near structures. However, incorrect pruning can damage plants, stunt growth, or leave them vulnerable to pests and diseases. It is particularly important not to over-shear shrubs which can lead to an overall weakening of the plant due to the inability of the plant to produce food for itself through photosynthesis.  This is why it’s important to have the job done by a professional. Trained arborists or horticulturists understand plant biology, the right timing for cuts, and the techniques needed to ensure each plant thrives without being harmed. Their expertise helps preserve the long-term health and aesthetic value of your landscape.
