Aesthetic Pruning
This style of pruning is meant to highlight the natural form of a focal plant under 15 ft. Inspired by the ideal of bonsai masters and Japanese aesthetics, aesthetic pruning highlights the natural movement and essence of a plant. This style of pruning elevates a formal garden’s focal plants.
Dormant Winter Plant Pruning
Winter is a very important time for many dormant plants to be pruned for structure, health, fruit production and rejuvenation. Winter pruning is integral to keeping a plant in scale and form. Dormant pruning can also help protect the plant from insects and harmful diseases that are more active during the summer.
Hedging
Hedges create structure and parterres in gardens. Keeping these in scale requires regular maintenance, and in some cases, larger renovations. Scale of a garden is very important and needs to be maintained continually to lessen the stress on a plant with larger renovations.
