Healthy Plants Look Better

Pruning isn't just about looks. Done right, it keeps plants healthy. It removes dead branches before they cause problems. It opens up the plant so air can flow through. It encourages new growth in the spring.

Done wrong, pruning hurts plants. Cutting at the wrong time can remove next year's flowers. Cutting too much can stress the plant. That's why timing and technique matter so much.

We know when and how to prune every type of plant common to Marshfield yards. Your shrubs and trees are in good hands.

What We Prune

  • Hedges: Privet, boxwood, arborvitae, and other hedge plants
  • Flowering Shrubs: Hydrangeas, rhododendrons, azaleas, lilacs
  • Evergreen Shrubs: Yews, junipers, hollies
  • Small Trees: Japanese maples, dogwoods, ornamental trees
  • Foundation Plantings: Everything around your house
  • Perennials: Cutting back at season's end

Timing Matters

Different plants need pruning at different times. Spring bloomers like azaleas should be pruned right after they flower. Summer bloomers like some hydrangeas are best pruned in late winter. Evergreens have their own schedule.

We keep track of all this so you don't have to. Each plant gets pruned at its best time, not just when it's convenient.

Hedge Maintenance

Hedges need regular attention to stay dense and attractive. Let them go too long and they get leggy and thin. We can put hedges on a schedule, trimming them several times during the growing season to keep that crisp, full look.

Whether you have a formal boxwood hedge or a casual row of shrubs, we'll keep it looking the way you want.

Coastal Challenges

Plants near the coast face salt spray, wind, and sandy soil. This affects how they grow and how they should be pruned. We understand these local conditions and adjust our approach for properties near Green Harbor Beach and other coastal areas.

"Our hedges always looked scraggly no matter what we did. They shaped them up perfectly and now they're thick and beautiful. They come back regularly to keep them that way."

"I didn't know hydrangeas needed to be pruned differently. They explained everything and now my plants bloom like crazy every summer."
