June is the month where a little strategic pruning goes a long way.

• Spring bloomers like azaleas, spirea, and mock orange should be pruned now—after their flowers fade but before new buds start forming for next year. Prune too late, and you risk cutting off next spring’s blooms.
  
  
• Shrubs tend to go wild in summer, especially fast growers like ligustrum or viburnum. Keeping up with light pruning helps them hold their shape and keeps walkways and sight lines clear.
  
  
• Deadwood removal is important too. Take time to snip out any dead or damaged branches in your trees and shrubs. It not only improves the look but also the health of the plant.

Pruning can be both an art and a science - it takes a trained eye to shape a plant without damaging its future growth. If you’ve ever stared at your overgrown shrubs and thought, “Where do I even start?” you’re not alone.

We offer seasonal pruning services that take the guesswork out of it—so your garden stays neat, healthy, and ready to impress.
