Shrub & Tree Pruning

SHM Garden Services offer a variety of pruning services to help keep your trees and shrubs healthy and looking their best. With my experience, I can provide care needed to ensure that your plants are pruned correctly and at the right time. Here are the three main types of pruning services we offer:

Formative Pruning

Formative pruning is the process of shaping a young tree or shrub to encourage a strong and healthy structure as it grows. This type of pruning should be done when the plant is still young, usually within the first few years of its life. 

Maintenance Pruning

Maintenance pruning is the ongoing process of removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches to keep your trees and shrubs healthy and looking their best. This type of pruning should be done regularly throughout the life of the plant to ensure that it stays healthy and doesn’t become overgrown. 

Regenerative Pruning

Regenerative pruning is the process of removing old or overgrown branches to encourage new growth and rejuvenate the plant. This type of pruning is often done on older trees or shrubs that have become too large or have stopped producing new growth.
