Tree and Shrub Care
Great-looking landscapes
share one thing in common – they are kept in "good trim.” Whether this involves a formal or a natural look, ASI
has the knowledge and experience to professionally prune
your ornamental plants.
Most severe cutting-back of shrubs is best done in early spring, just prior to the emergence of new growth. We've had success severely cutting back yews, junipers, rhododendrons and many others during this early-season time frame.

Pruning a Shrub to Look Like a Tree
Here you can see an example of a shrub that has been pruned nicely into a tree form. The upright yaupon holly to the right can be a focal point that adds lots of character to your landscape. The best shrubs for tree forming are ones that grow to be at least 6 feet in height. You may either prune for single- or multi-trunk, depending on the existing branching. Top pruning or sheering may be necessary to achieve a more formal shape.
