Top 5 Reasons for Properly Pruning Your Trees and Shrubs

One thing that many homeowners tend to neglect in their yards is pruning. Not pruning altogether is almost as bad as pruning your trees and bushes ineffectively, as this could end up damaging them. Fortunately, Hernandez Lawnscape is here to offer you pruning services in Baton Rouge, LA.

However, you’ll still need to know when to give us a call to come out and trim your plants. That’s why we’re listing out the top reasons for pruning your trees and shrubs. That way, we can help make sure your yard always looks its best.

Improve Quality of Plant Health

One of the most important reasons for pruning is to improve the health of a dying plant. If you ever notice a section of a plant is injured or diseased, you must take care of the damaged branches as soon as possible. Failing to prune the unhealthy branches in time can lead to the entire tree or bush dying before its time.

Affect Growth Rate

Even if your plant is healthy, pruning can still help improve its overall growth. Making strategic cuts on developing branches can cause a plant to grow even more in a particular area. This can lead to longer, stronger branches, or it could cause a flower or fruit to grow in its place, depending on the type of plant you prune.

Unfortunately, this is a precise process. Trimming the wrong areas can damage or even kill the plant, which is why you need professionals to help with this type of pruning.

Let In More Sunlight

One of the biggest problems with letting your trees and bushes grow freely is that they can cover other nearby plants that don’t stand as tall. Being blocked out from sunlight will quickly kill these plants. Regularly pruning your larger plants will help keep the smaller ones from suddenly dying on you.

Create More Room

Of course, even if you don’t have to worry about keeping your smaller plants alive, there’s a good chance that your trees and shrubs will eventually get in your way. Whether it’s the pathway to your front door or a narrow passage that you need to mow through, these plants can quickly cover areas you need to reach. Pruning on a regular schedule will keep this problem from occurring.

Enhance Appearance

The final reason to prune your trees and bushes properly is simply for aesthetic purposes. Unkempt plants don’t look nearly as good as regularly pruned ones. A good example of this is privacy hedges. Hedges that you don’t prune will lose their perfect shape quickly.

If you want to take pruning to a higher level, you can shape your bushes into recognizable objects. Obviously, this will be much harder to upkeep, but if you go through with it, the results will speak for themselves.

"I approached Mr. Hernandez several years ago (2014?) whenever I saw the detailed work he was doing at my neighbor's house. After talking with him for just a minute, I felt confident that his business was right for me. Since that day, he has been maintaining my lawn and my grandmother's, and a couple of years ago he began maintaining my parents' property, as well. ... I could not be more pleased with Hernandez Lawnscape. Excellent service all around...5 stars!"
