Pruning
Proper pruning is the difference between a landscape that looks cared for and one that looks hacked at. We prune for plant health first — correct timing, clean cuts, natural shape — so your shrubs and hedges look better and grow better.
What’s included
- Shrub and hedge shaping
- Ornamental tree pruning
- Overgrowth cutbacks
- Deadwood removal
- Full debris cleanup and haul-away
How it works
- Assessment. We identify each plant and the right time to cut it.
- Pruning. Clean cuts with sharp tools — never a rushed shearing.
- Cleanup. Every branch and leaf leaves with us.
Frequently asked questions
When should I prune my hedges in New Jersey?
Most hedges do best with a shaping cut in late spring after the first flush of growth, and a tidy-up in late summer. Spring-flowering shrubs get pruned right after they bloom.
Can you save my overgrown shrubs?
Often, yes. We cut back in stages over one or two seasons so the plant recovers instead of going into shock.
Do you haul away the debris?
Always. Cleanup and removal are part of every pruning job.
