Pruning services 
​

​Pruning goes beyond just cutting a tree or shrub back. I look for what makes each plant special. What's the plants point of interest, its story, and how does it fit into the landscape? Different types of pruning are required: 
  • Structural Pruning: Shapes young trees for a strong framework, promoting good branch spacing and minimizing future damage.
  • Maintenance Pruning: Regularly maintains the shape and size of established trees and shrubs.
  • Restorative Pruning: Applied to neglected or damaged trees, it restores their natural shape and health, over a span of time, deepening on the circumstances. 
  • Aesthetic Shaping: Prunes trees and shrubs into specific forms, such as topiary or hedges, enhancing the landscape's visual interest.
