Shaping, thinning and renewal pruning at the right time of year, so shrubs stay healthy, neat and in scale with your home.
Shrubs frame your home, and overgrown ones can swallow windows, block walkways and hide the house. Pruning at the wrong time can cost you flowers or damage the plant, so timing matters as much as technique. In Middle Tennessee, spring bloomers such as azaleas, forsythia and lilacs should be pruned right after they flower, while summer bloomers and evergreens follow their own schedules. Hedges like boxwood and holly need regular shaping to stay dense and tidy.
Our crews shape formal hedges with sharp, clean tools, thin overgrown shrubs to restore their natural form and carry out renewal pruning on plants that have gotten too large. We follow plant-specific timing, make cuts that encourage healthy regrowth and remove clippings when we finish. We also advise when a shrub is simply too large for its spot and would be better replaced. Regular trimming keeps your landscape in scale, improves airflow that reduces disease and makes your home look well maintained. We also keep a light touch where it counts, because good pruning should look natural rather than butchered, and it is usually better to take off a little each season than to cut hard every few years.
Spring bloomers are pruned after flowering, and evergreens and summer bloomers follow different schedules.
Formal hedges are sheared, and natural shrubs are thinned to keep their form and let air in.
Overgrown shrubs can often be cut back in stages to bring them back in scale.
Sharp tools make healthy cuts, and clippings are removed when we are done.
