Shrub Care

Shrubs are a great addition to your yard, however, their care is often overlooked by homeowners and professionals.

Many homeowners will try DIY pruning which is fine when they know what they are doing. However, we caution against doing your own pruning if you have not been educated on the matter. Improper pruning opens a plant up to infection, freeze damage, and stress. If incorrect pruning continues your shrubs can become weak and die prematurely.

We offer hand pruning, shearing, hedge shearing and formation, rejuvenation pruning to maintain your shrubs for their best shape and health. Spring and fall are the best times to prune your shrubs because the cooler temps allow them to recover better.

Shrubs provide environmental benefits and beauty

Environmental benefits
Shrubs improve air quality by filtering dust and pollutants. They also reduce erosion, thus reducing stormwater runoff and reducing toxic materials in the waterways.
Energy savings
Deciduous shrubs on the east/west side of your home provide shade in the morning and late afternoon during the hot summer months.
Food and shelter for birds
Shrubs provide shelter for birds and often have juicy berries that sustain songbirds during the winter months.

Seasonal beauty
Some shrubs turn color in fall, while other sport masses of pretty flowers in spring and summer. Even deciduous shrubs add interest to the garden during the winter months, with unique forms and shapes.
Reliability
Shrubs are reliable and easy to grow if planted in the right climate and soil conditions and they are often much hardier than many Colorado perennial flowers.
