Dormant Pruning

Dormant pruning is a crucial aspect of maintaining the health and aesthetics of your trees and shrubs. At LandWorks, we specialize in providing expert dormant pruning services that help your plants thrive. By pruning during the dormant season, we can improve plant structure, promote healthy growth, and enhance the overall appearance of your landscape.

What is Dormant Pruning?

Dormant pruning involves trimming and shaping trees and shrubs during their dormant season, typically in late fall to early spring. This period, when plants are not actively growing, is ideal for pruning because it minimizes stress on the plants and reduces the risk of disease and pest infestations.

Benefits

Dormant pruning offers numerous benefits for your landscape, including:

• Improved Plant Health: Removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches helps prevent the spread of disease and encourages healthy growth.
• Enhanced Structure: Pruning during dormancy allows us to see the plant’s structure more clearly, enabling us to make precise cuts that improve the overall shape and stability of the plant.
• Increased Sunlight and Air Circulation: Thinning out dense growth improves air circulation and sunlight penetration, which are essential for the plant’s health and vigor.
• Reduced Risk of Pest Infestations: Pruning during the dormant season reduces the likelihood of attracting pests that are active during the growing season.
