Professional Pruning Services in Alpharetta, GA

Most ornamental trees and shrubs in Alpharetta never get pruned correctly. Crape myrtles get topped every winter by crews who don't know better, destroying their natural vase form permanently. Hollies and photinias get sheared into tight balls that lose their architectural character. Ornamental cherries and serviceberries get random limbs removed without regard to how the tree will heal. Proper pruning requires knowing each species, understanding how it grows, and making cuts that serve the plant's long-term health and form.

Ornamental pruning is different from tree service pruning. We're shaping Japanese maples, correcting form on young specimen trees, opening up the interior of camellias and azaleas for airflow and bloom production, removing water sprouts and crossing branches from ornamental cherries, and restoring natural form to crape myrtles that have been topped in previous seasons. Every cut is intentional with the plant's response and long-term form in mind.

Timing matters enormously with ornamental pruning. Spring-flowering shrubs like azaleas and forsythia should be pruned immediately after bloom, not in fall when you'd be removing next year's buds. Summer bloomers get pruned in late winter. We schedule pruning based on what each plant is and what it's trying to do. Call (770) 366-3160 for a free estimate.
