Routine maintenance of your shrubs and trees is one of the best ways to create a pristine, inviting outdoor living space in your yard. A carefully-maintained landscape that includes well-pruned trees can increase the property value of your home. Precise pruning can also help your plants and shrubs thrive, attracting potential customers if you have commercial property.

That’s why you have invested so much thought and care into your landscape design. You may have even hired a professional to help you create and maintain your lawn and landscape.

After putting much time and energy into turning your landscape into an extension of your home or business, don’t let pruning mistakes detract from the potential your yard or grounds have to be a beautiful outdoor oasis.

“Last year, we called Mike and his crew and as you can see it is completely dry and the grass is beautiful he did the landscaping as well, and it is amazing”

Why Pruning Helps Plants Thrive

Pruning is vital for maintaining the vitality and health of your plants. Branches that are damaged, dying, diseased, or dead will place undue stress on your plants if they are not removed. These branches need to be pruned to enable plants to repair themselves and to restore their vitality without depriving them of the energy they need to heal.

Pruning and trimming trees in a certain way can encourage flowering and fruiting and direct the growth of a tree. Pruning also helps control the size of shrubs or berry plants. When it comes to the trees and shrubs in your outdoor space, pruning should be done to cultivate healthy plants.

One pruning tip is to remove your trees’ water sprouts and suckers at ground level. If left to grow, these will weaken the tree and deprive the primary tree trunk of necessary nutrients. Pruning sprouts and suckers will help a tree establish one dominant trunk, enabling it to be strong enough to endure powerful winds and storms.

Prune trees to reduce any threat of disease while encouraging foliage growth by opening up a tree’s canopy to let in fresh air and sunlight. Resist the urge to force a tree into a desired shape or form. Trees that are allowed to grow naturally will take a shape that can process light optimally.

However, you can train a shrub or tree to take on specific shapes, to an extent, by cutting back lateral branches. If damage from wind or storms causes open areas, you can prune lateral branches to fill in the gaps. You may also need to prune branches that are encroaching on neighboring property.

Take the time to learn a plant’s natural growth habits and encourage growth in that direction. For safety reasons, however, there may be times when you may have to compromise the natural growth habits of a plant.

For example, when branches could cause damage to structures on your property or could come into contact with power lines, these branches should be removed. Always hire a professional to remove branches growing in these conditions, because they know how to prune them safely.

Sometimes, you can avoid safety hazards altogether when you use proper pruning procedures. Pruning correctly will create and maintain a strong tree structure, and eliminate safety hazards such as low growing branches near high traffic areas like a driveway or sidewalk.

When to Prune Plants

Prune flowering shrubs and trees to induce plants to grow more branches, which will increase the size and amount of flowers produced. You can do this by pinching the heads off budding plants before they begin to bloom.

Throughout the growing season, budding plants can be cut back multiple times. After blooming, the plants can be pruned again to encourage the production of new flowers. Whether your plant is perennial or an annual, a little early season pruning can make all the difference between a plant that is simply surviving and one that thrives.

For fruit trees, pruning should be performed annually. To encourage fruit production, late winter is the best time to prune your fruit trees. Prune excess wood from fruit trees to immerse developing fruit in sunlight. Allowing light to penetrate the entire plant makes a difference in the size and flavor of a tree’s fruit.

The best pruning practices focus on the health of the plant first, and aesthetics second. By removing branches that rub together, any branch stubs, and dead, damaged, or diseased branches, the entire tree can continue to grow strong and healthy.

Avoid These Pruning Mistakes

It’s a common misconception that all you need to prune the plants in your yard is a pruning saw or a chain saw. As a professional landscaping business, we see more trees destroyed or killed every year from pruning mishaps than we do pests or disease. Avoid these pruning mistakes to ensure a landscape full of hearty plants:

Don’t top a tree

Topping trees creates a weak point in the plant, making it more vulnerable to damage and broken branches. You can thin out the tree, however, by pruning some of the larger branches found on the inside.

Don’t prune to control the plant

Attempting to manipulate the height or size of a berry plant or fruit tree through pruning can destroy the plant’s natural shape or disrupt its growth habit, and should be avoided whenever possible. Do thin your tree and prune to accentuate its natural shape instead of forcing a plant or topping a tree when it’s trying to mature in size.

Don’t prune plants unless you understand the difference between heading cuts and thinning cuts

The heading is a type of pruning that involves cutting off part of one branch to produce a stronger branch and to stimulate the growth of more offshoots from that branch. Thinning is a type of pruning that removes a branch at its point of origin, which may be a side branch, the main trunk, or even right at the ground. Heading cuts prompt new growth while thinning cuts inhibit new growth.

Do not prune at the convenience of the pruner

Prune instead at a time when the branches need pruning to enable the plant to best repair itself without damaging it or draining it of the energy it needs.

Why hire a lawn care service professional for pruning?

A lot of people enjoy tending to their property and even find pruning pleasant. But if you don’t have the time to prune when your plants need the care, or you don’t know how to avoid weak points in plants and encourage flowering and fruiting, you may end up doing more harm when trimming your trees and plants than good.
If you plan to do the pruning yourself, remember that proper care involves time, labor, and an investment in quality pruning equipment like shears, snips, and scissors. Neglecting to prune with the right tools at the right time can result in trees and berry plants that become overgrown, and are susceptible to pests, disease, and other threats. In the case of fruit trees, overgrowth results in reduced fruit production too.
Most home or business owners simply do not have the equipment, experience, or time to prune correctly. By opting to hire a landscaping company for your property’s pruning needs, you can save yourself the stress, time, and energy of trying to do it correctly yourself.

Simple Solution That Will Stop Your Yard Flooding

What people are saying

Ware Landscaping & Snow Removal

They did a great job and we are very pleased!

“I contacted Mike at Ware Landscaping for help with fixing my flooded backyard and garage. Mike gave me an honest assessment of my situation and recommended the right system to fix my problems (a lot of issues). Ware Landscaping installed drainage, underground downspouts, underground sump pump lines, driveway drains and surface drains in the yard to fix all my problems.. The team was very professional and always asked for my approval on work being done before it was completed. They did a great job and we are very pleased!”

Jim Kristof

I recommend him without any hesitation.

“We had a water problem in our basement that Mike Ware completely eliminated by removing both our sump pump water and downspout water away from the home. He was professional and highly motivated to solve the problem and do it the right way. I always felt like a priority and that my project mattered. I recommend him without any hesitation.”

Michael Swider

FANTASTIC JOB!!!

Ware Landscaping did a FANTASTIC JOB!!! I needed my entire backyard regraded and they filled it in with more than 2 truck loads, installed a French drain and put new beautiful green sod on top. They also power washed and reset my front retaining wall. Communication from the beginning was always very good. We always knew when they were coming out. The project was completed on time as well. They also called on their own a month after the project to check on the sod and were willing to replace some spots due to the June heat wave. Would recommend Ware Landscaping to all!!!”

Dan Malloy

The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail.

“Mike, Greg and the rest of the crew made our back yard dream a reality with a drainage system to remove the stream that flowed through the middle of the yard, which flooded every rainstorm and stuck around for weeks. To complete the look in came a perfectly designed beautiful hardscape patio that we can’t wait to use this summer. The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend!”

Katie Jankowski

The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy.

“We had a wooden deck for a front porch that was starting to age. When we removed it we saw that there was a concrete slab underneath it that was pitched toward our house, creating an issue with standing water up against our foundation. We had Mike come by to advise us on the best solution, and he suggested permeable pavers. We were able to come up with a custom design with him that day. The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy. I’m sure they do much bigger jobs than our little patio, but this project made a huge difference for our home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do my own landscaping or should I hire someone?

That depends. A lot of people enjoy tending to their property, but many may confidently take on all of the work for their property to discover they’ve bitten off a bit more than they can chew. Landscaping can involve a surprising amount of time, effort, and labor.

Furthermore, few people have the experience and training to determine the right care program for their yard. Imagine pouring a lot of time and hard work into lawn care only to watch it die off. Even if you think you want to tackle your landscaping yourself, you should still consult with a professional. If you opt to hire a landscaping company, you may even end up saving money by avoiding design and maintenance errors.

Why should I care about landscaping?

According to many studies, a sophisticated, maintained landscape design can significantly increase your property value. Research has shown returns of over 100 percent for the costs of landscaping. Landscaping for homeowners can be profitable and also provide a source of pride and satisfaction. Many people also enjoy having an attractive yard as a place to relax or gather with friends. If you are a business owner, a pleasing exterior to your storefront or office building can attract customers.

What is the landscape design process at ware landscaping?

We typically begin with an in-person, on-site assessment that is completely free. Our designers will examine your property, take note of any potential issues or complication, talk with your about your ideas, make suggestions, and discuss a plan of action. Additionally, we offer a digital design service that lays out a blueprint for your dream landscape; the cost of this is credited towards your installation fee. Many of our landscape design projects can be completed swiftly—in as little as a single day. We will give you a timeline estimate for your dream landscape up front and work as quickly as possible to realize your vision.
