Pruning

Professional tree and shrub pruning to promote health, safety, and beauty. Expert techniques for all seasons and plant types.

The Art and Science of Proper Pruning

Pruning is far more than just cutting back branches—it's a horticultural practice that requires knowledge of plant biology, growth patterns, and proper techniques. At Vita Green LLC, our trained specialists understand how plants respond to pruning and use this knowledge to enhance health, safety, and appearance.

Why Professional Pruning Matters

Proper pruning promotes plant health by removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches, improves safety by eliminating hazardous limbs, enhances appearance through careful shaping, increases flowering and fruiting in many species, and prevents future problems. Improper pruning can damage plants and create entry points for disease.

Our Pruning Services

Tree Pruning

We provide crown cleaning, crown thinning, crown raising, crown reduction when necessary, structural pruning for young trees, and hazard pruning for dangerous or problematic branches.

Shrub Pruning

We prune shrubs to maintain desired size and shape, promote flowering and fruiting, remove dead or damaged growth, and improve plant health and vigor.

Ornamental & Seasonal Pruning

We provide specialized pruning for hedges, topiary, and trained forms. We time pruning based on plant needs: dormant season, after flowering, summer growth control, and fall cleanup.

Techniques

We make cuts at the correct angle and location to promote healing, preserve branch collars, sanitize tools between plants, and selectively remove branches rather than shearing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our pruning

When is the best time to prune trees and shrubs?
Timing depends on the plant species. Most trees benefit from dormant season pruning (late winter/early spring), while spring-flowering shrubs should be pruned after blooming. We schedule pruning at the optimal time for each plant type.
How much should trees and shrubs be pruned?
Generally, no more than 25-30% of a plant's canopy should be removed in a single season. Over-pruning can stress plants and reduce flowering. Our certified specialists follow proper pruning techniques to maintain plant health and appearance.
Do you remove the pruned branches and debris?
Yes, complete cleanup and debris removal is included in all our pruning services. We'll haul away all branches, twigs, and leaves, leaving your property clean and tidy.
