Pruning That Helps Plants, Not Just Makes Them Smaller

Bad pruning is worse than no pruning. Cutting at the wrong time, in the wrong places, creates wounds that don't heal properly, invites disease, and can actually suppress the growth you were trying to encourage. Timing and technique both matter — and they're not the same for every plant.

We prune shrubs and ornamentals based on what each plant actually needs. Spring bloomers get cut right after they flower. Summer bloomers get shaped in early spring. Structural pruning is done when plants are dormant. The result is plants that look intentional, stay healthy, and fill in the way they're supposed to.
