Whether your goal is to encourage blooms, maintain formal shape, reduce size, or rejuvenate older plants, we prune with surgical precision and seasonal timing in mind.

What Is Fine Pruning?

Fine pruning involves selective, strategic cuts that shape a plant naturally while improving airflow, light penetration, and overall vigor. This includes:

• Thinning dense branches to reduce disease and improve structure
• Cutting back to buds or branch junctions to direct growth
• Removing dead, weak, or crossing limbs
• Encouraging better flower and fruit production
• Maintaining defined shapes without over-shearing
