prune back to get ahead.

What does winter pruning do?

Overgrown, unpruned plants can be weak and unsafe. Pruning at the right time in the right way will increase the longevity and resilience of your trees and shrubs, reducing the risk of failed branches, splitting, or disease. Improper pruning can do the opposite, leading to shorter lifespans and fungal or bacterial diseases in your landscape.

Why prune in winter?  

Pruning while your plant is dormant sets trees and shrubs up for success in the spring. Pruning spurs plants into action, which means more growth over time, not less. That growth can help plants rejuvenate and refresh, leaving you with a tidy and healthy yard.

How does it work?

A winter pruning coaching session gives you professional support and an opportunity to learn more about your garden. I’ll prune your plants to maintain their form, aesthetics and health. Along the way, we’ll walk through the process and your plant’s individual pruning needs — so you can have confidence pruning in the future. Or let the Doctor handle it and know your plants are in trusted hands.
