Expert pruning to enhance beauty, health, and natural form
Proper pruning is both an art and a science. Our certified arborists and trained horticulturists combine knowledge of plant physiology with an eye for aesthetic form to create beautiful, healthy specimens. We understand that each plant has unique growth patterns and pruning requirements, and we tailor our approach accordingly.
Our team follows ISA standards and best practices for all pruning work. We make precise cuts at proper locations to promote healing and healthy regrowth. Every cut is made with purpose, considering the plant's natural growth habit, structural integrity, and long-term health.
Different plants require pruning at different times of the year. Spring-flowering shrubs are pruned after bloom, while summer bloomers can be pruned in late winter. Our team knows the optimal timing for each species to maximize flowering and maintain plant health.
Young ornamentals benefit from structural pruning to establish good structure and shape. We guide early growth to create well-balanced specimens with strong branch architecture that will serve them throughout their lives.
Regular maintenance pruning keeps established ornamentals looking their best. We remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches, thin dense growth for better light penetration, and shape plants to maintain their natural form while fitting harmoniously into your landscape design.
Overgrown or neglected shrubs often benefit from rejuvenation pruning. This intensive pruning stimulates new growth from the base, essentially renewing the plant. Not all species respond well to this technique, so our arborists carefully assess each situation before recommending this approach.
We also provide specialty pruning services including hedge shearing, espalier training, topiary maintenance, and artistic specimen shaping. These techniques require additional skill and an understanding of plant response to create and maintain specific forms.
Our team includes ISA Certified Arborists and CNLP certified professionals with decades of experience. We use professional-grade tools that are properly sharpened and sanitized between plants to prevent disease transmission. Our knowledge of Long Island's ornamental plants is extensive, and we stay current with the latest research and techniques in ornamental pruning.
