1. Should flowering shrubs be trimmed before or after they bloom?

Many spring-flowering varieties should be pruned after blooming, while many summer bloomers are pruned before spring growth. We identify the plant first so trimming does not unnecessarily remove flower buds.

2. Can an overgrown hedge be cut back to its original size?

That depends on the variety and how much leafy growth remains. Some plants recover from substantial pruning; others do not regrow from bare wood. We assess the hedge before recommending how much to remove.

3. Why is my hedge thick at the top but bare underneath?

The upper branches may be blocking sunlight from the lower growth. Keeping the base slightly wider than the top helps light reach the bottom, although recovery depends on the plant’s condition.

4. Does every shrub need to be trimmed into a rounded shape?

No. Many shrubs look and grow better when selectively pruned to preserve their natural form. We choose the trimming method based on the plant, its condition and the surrounding space.
