Maximizing your plant's potential for health & growth.
Trimming & Pruning
JUST A BIT OFF THE TOP SIR!
Once your landscape plants, trees, and shrubs have been established, it is important to ensure they stay maintained with routine trimming and pruning services. These tasks help plants achieve maximum health and growth and also help to maintain your overall curb appeal. Contact a service agent today to find out how we can stretch your resources to make that happen.

When plants, shrubs, and trees are not routinely trimmed and pruned, their health suffers and you lose the investment you made in your landscaping. Dead and diseased branches must be removed during pruning, otherwise, the plant's overall structure will be weakened and the disease can potentially spread to the rest of the plant, which can eventually kill it.
Trimming also controls how your plant grows. Without trimming services, plant branches will grow all over the place and the plants will look unkempt. It also prevents your plants from growing too close to buildings, power lines, and other plants. During trimming, professional landscapers are also able to check your plants and shrubs for any signs of disease or insects. If these issues are spotted early, then we can treat for them and hopefully save the shrub from dying.
A common and very important task for keeping your landscape plants healthy is trimming and pruning. When trimming, we're controlling the shape and size, while pruning removes branches selectively for health reasons. Trimming of your shrubs, hedges, and small trees should be done a few times per year for low maintenance landscapes, but as much as once per month for more manicured properties. Pruning, on the other hand, should only be done twice per year and the timing depends on the type of plant being pruned.
Trimming and pruning are often used on an interchangeable basis, but these terms are actually very different. Trimming is done several times throughout the year to shape and maintain the appearance of the plant. At Stretch Property Maintenance, we can trim plants, hedges, and shrubs on a monthly basis if it's requested, but usually, we trim about three times a year.
Pruning, however, is generally only done once or twice a year. This task is done to remove dead, dying, or diseased branches that are sapping up resources from the tree or plant. For flowering shrubs, it also encourages fuller blooms in the next season. Pruning is done based on the type of plant. For example, a flowering shrub should be pruned after the entire plant has finished blooming while other plants may require a winter pruning session.
