Your Bush Trimming Specialists
Many homeowners think that trimming their bushes and hedges means lopping off lots of branches. However, that is nothing more than a quick way to damage your plants. Removal of too much from plants at once is harmful to them. You should not look at your bushes as just natural or privacy fencing. They are also living things. Each limb you remove means removing another source of nutrients. All plants need time to heal.
Removing more leaves and branches at the wrong time can cause them to enter a state of shock, thus failing to recover. Before you cause any more harm to your green landscape, let our professionals provide careful and expert care to your shrubs, bushes, and small trees.
Our Bush & Shrub Trimming Services
Bush trimming is nothing less than a work of art. It helps maintain and preserve the health and beauty of these plants while having the desired shape. We will use a unique technique depending on the shrub. Some of the common shapes preferred by our clients include a cane, tree-like, and mounding shapes. Properly trimmed plants will certainly have excellent health and growth.
We at Proscapes provide monthly, seasonal, and custom bush trimming services for both residential and commercial properties. The types of trimming projects that we regularly handle include:
- Privacy bush trimming
- Evergreen shrub trimming
- Flowering shrub trimming
- Small shrub trimming
- Winter shrub trimming
When your hedges are overgrown or bushes become unsightly with uneven growth and sprouts, it is time for a trimming session. We recommend trimming bushes at regular intervals instead of trimming them too short. Doing it on a regular basis helps keep the plants in excellent form and maintains the thick foliage.
When to Trim Bushes
All species of bushes have an optimal time for trimming for best results. We want our clients to understand the importance of trimming at the right time:
- Bushes show different responses to the process at different times of the year
- Early spring or late winter trimming helps quickly form new tissue
- Spring-blooming shrubs should be trimmed after the flowers have stopped producing
- Summer-blooming plants should be trimmed in early spring before the buds appear or after it stops blooming
Tree-Shape Trimming
Tree-form trimming is a popular trend with most clients. Some of the popular shrubs that can be shaped to look like trees include:
- Wax myrtle
- Yaupon holly
- Wax leaf privet
- Crape myrtle
It is recommended to start creating the shape when these shrubs are a year old. The vertical branches are trimmed back to sustain minimal trunks. Lateral branches are removed at 4 feet from the ground to complete the tree form.
