Finally. A simple way to get your yard ready for winter.

Your yard is not ready for winter. We fix that in one visit.

If your trees, hedges and garden look overgrown right now, you are not the only one.

Most South Island yards are due for:

• Winter tree pruning

• Hard pruning of overgrown shrubs

• Hedge trimming and topping

• Garden reset and fall cleanup

Left alone, branches sag with snow, hedges get taller every year, and the garden becomes a dark, messy tangle.

Winter is the best time to deal with it.

We come in, complete the work in a single coordinated visit, and leave you with a clean, controlled yard that is ready for winter and already set up for spring.

Why winter is the best time for pruning and resets

• Better for many trees and shrubs

With the leaves off, you can see the structure clearly. Proper cuts in the dormant season help direct energy into healthy spring growth.

• Safer and easier to control

Branches are lighter and visibility is better. This means cleaner cuts, better clearance from roofs, wires and windows, and less impact on gardens and lawn.

• A fresh start for spring

When the work is done now, you do not spend March and April looking at the same mess. Your yard starts spring already shaped, cleaned and ready to wake up.

⸻

What we do on a typical winter visit

Every property is different, but this is what most South Island homeowners ask us to handle.

Winter tree pruning

Shape, safety and structure without taking off more than needed.

We focus on:

• Removing dead, weak and crossing branches

• Lifting canopies for light and view

• Pulling branches off roofs, gutters and walkways

• Making clean, proper cuts that support long term health

From ornamental trees to larger feature trees, we prune for safety, beauty and longevity.

⸻

Hard pruning for overgrown shrubs

Bring shrubs and hedges back to a manageable size.

Some plants are so overgrown that light trimming will not fix them. This is where hard pruning comes in.

We:

• Reduce height and width to a realistic size

• Open up dense, airless growth so plants can recover

• Give tired shrubs a strong framework for new shoots in spring

You end up with smaller, tidier plants that can regrow in a controlled way instead of a jungle that keeps creeping higher every year.

⸻

Hedge trimming and topping

Clean lines, controlled height, better privacy.

Your hedge should frame the property, not dominate it.

We provide:

• Height reduction so you can maintain it going forward

• Straight, crisp faces that look good from the street and patio

• Safe work on tall, overgrown hedges that are now hard to reach

After trimming, we clean up every branch and leaf so you are not left with a bigger mess.

⸻

Garden reset and fall cleanup

From tired and messy to clean and easy to maintain.

By late fall, most gardens are full of:

• Spent perennials

• Wet, matted leaves

• Weeds taking advantage of gaps

• Plants leaning or collapsed into paths and lawn

We turn that into:

• Beds cleared of debris and blown leaves

• Perennials cut back the right way for the species

• Edges cleaned up along lawns and paths

• Space and structure restored so everything looks intentional again

You get that satisfying feeling of a fresh reset before winter, instead of looking at a soggy mess for months.

“Professional, polite and incredibly thorough.”

They explained what they planned to do with each tree, checked in during the job, and made sure we were happy before they left. I appreciated the communication and the careful pruning.
