When To
Prune
WINTER is
one of the best times of year to prune many trees and shrubs in Northeastern Connecticut. While the plants are dormant, and other
gardening tasks subside, we are hard at work with the pruning tools
shaping, nurturing, and preparing our customer's landscapes and gardens
for a spectacular Spring showing!
SUMMER
TRIMMING begins as
the spring blooming season comes to a close. This is the perfect time to
shape things and help prepare your garden for the coming seasons.

Problems
With Unpruned
Trees And Shrubs
|
|
- Tend to outgrow their boundaries
- Appear unkept and out of shape
- Encroach on buildings, blocking out sunlight from windows
and encouraging mold and mildew to grow and paint to peel
- Overbranching occurs and the excess growth puts undue stress
on the plant. This causes dead branches which invite parasitic
insects and disease
- These conditions DRASTICALLY REDUCE the health and lifespan
of the plant
