Shrub Trimming & Pruning

Shrub Trimming & Pruning
Which limbs do you trim, and how much do you remove? Shrub trimming and pruning are essential in Northeast Ohio’s spring for proper growth. Shrubs, as well as bushes and perennials, should have dead foliage removed and trimmed to promote the healthiest foliage during the growing season.

Without trimming and pruning, many shrubs are more susceptible to disease and may suffer from overcrowding due to excess growth. Visually, untrimmed shrubs will appear shaggy and unkempt, and the overgrowth will tend to flop over in Northeast Ohio’s typical fair share of summer wind and rain.

Shrub trimming in the spring is the most important time for stimulating new branches and filling in the shape of your trees and shrubs. Most shrubs will respond to professional trimming and pruning with healthy, balanced growth, not to mention your shrubs will maintain their appeal longer into the season. Unique Landscaping experienced crews can identify how to identify dead and diseased branches even when the full budding of summer growth hasn’t yet occurred.

In addition, Unique Landscaping can also plant new shrubbery if replacement stock or fill-in is necessary. We contract exclusively with Ohio-certified growers of premium nursery stock. We recommend consulting a shrub fertilization professional to ensure that any new plantings obtain the proper nutrients and insect control after initial installation.
