What Tree & Shrub Types Do You Prune?

Firstly, trees and shrubs aren’t the only plant life that requires pruning. The Grounds Guys of Covington’s tree covers a wide array of pruning needs, including bush pruning services, ornamental grass pruning, and regular residential grass pruning services. Additionally, we also accommodate pruning ornamental trees. Regarding standard trees and shrubs, our service professionals can help with many types. Our list of common plants we prune for homeowners includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Rose Bushes

Regular rose bush pruning effectively promotes flowering. This essential service also helps prevent these plants from catching diseases.

Hedges

Failing to prune a hedge correctly can lead to it getting very thick and preventing sunlight from getting in, ultimately stunting the plant’s growth. We can cut back the branches to let in sunlight and help blossoming fruits or flowers.

Oak Trees

Typically, you should prune your oak trees once every two or three years because regular pruning effectively maintains them and keeps their branches from getting too long or thin.

Maple Trees

Maple tree pruning helps you maintain a tree’s desired size while helping it develop an optimal branch structure. Our team carefully removes branches to eliminate or minimize structural issues.
