There is a common misconception that trimming and pruning are essentially the same. However, both services offer different benefits for your plants, shrubs, and hedges.

Trimming is done more than once during the year and focuses on the aesthetic appeal of your landscape plants. Branches and stems tend to grow in all kinds of directions, which can stand out if your shrubs and hedges are already shaped in a particular style or design. Trimming helps control their size and removes branches that are in the way or could be seen as a hazard to your property or visitors.

Pruning is normally only done once a year, but this can vary based on the type of plant and time of year. Selective pruning rejuvenates your plants and flowering shrubs for the following growing season so they come back bigger and fuller than the year before! Its purpose is to maintain the health of your softscapes rather than improve their appearance.
