Pruning

Avoid Being A Crime Victim

landscape pruning

It's probably not a CSI level crime anyway, but then again maybe it should be. After all someone stole half your plants potential at the point of a sharp object. There might even be a murder involved.

I’d be upset. How about you? Maybe you’re not, because you don’t realize how much is being stolen by poor pruning habits. Plant health and beauty are being robbed from you every time they get whacked ---- I mean sheared.

Whacking your plants into submission will shorten their life, harm structural integrity, and you will never enjoy its true beauty potential. The full potential of natural form, texture, and color are lost.

Better plant selection during the design process would have solved much of the problem. Since you have what you have ---- the correct landscape pruning technique will still produce a healthier plant, more blooms, true form and texture.

Plants don’t have to be pruned to be healthy. Healthy and strong come natural.

McPlants knows pruning that works.

We rarely crank our power trimmer, because the more you prune the more you have to prune. Our select hand pruning produces heather plants that perform better for you in your garden. And yes with less pruning required.

We are trained and certified in structural, topiary, espalier, rejuvenation, maintenance, fruit trees & vines, ornamental trees and shrub pruning techniques for smarter gardens and landscapes.

Healthy plants have special times of the year that are best for pruning. Dead, dying, diseased or damaged plant parts may be pruned anytime of the year. It is wise to always correctly use the proper sharp tool for the job .

 

Large Trees Pruning and Removal

Large trees need special attention to promote structural integrity and long term health. They may need diseased, storm damage, or hazardous limbs removed to prevent harm to person and property.

If the tree climber is not trained in proper height reduction, crown cleaning and limb removal procedures more harm results than good. Just because someone owns the equipment doesn’t mean they are doing the best procedure for your tree’s health.

McPlants’ ISA Certified Arborist focus on tree health. If you need someone trained in proper large tree pruning procedures and techniques we will be glad to advise you and hook you up with people you can trust.
