Trimming & Pruning of Shrubs and Trees

Great looking landscapes share one thing in common --- they are kept in "good trim".  Whether this involves a formal or a natural look, ASI, has the knowledge and experience to professionally prune your ornamental plants.

Most severe cutting-back of shrubs is best done in early spring, just prior to the emergence of new growth. We've had success severely cutting back Yews, Junipers, Rhododendrons, and many others, during this early-season time frame.

Key benefits of Pruning

• Nicely trimmed shrubs compliment you and your home
• Professional pruning helps protect your investment
• Frequent trimming extends the life of foundation plantings

Pruning a Shrub to a Tree-Form

Tree-form shrubs such as the single-trunk. Upright Yaupon Holly to right can be focal points that add lots of character to your landscape. The best shrubs for tree-forming are ones that grow at least six feet in height and higher. You may either prune for single or multi trunk depending on the existing branching.  Top pruning or sheering may be necessary to achive a more formal shape.
