Seasonal Pruning

Seasonal Pruning If you own a garden, you know that you need to prune certain plants and cut back others throughout the year, but if you are like most people, you stare at the wide variety of flowers, vines, bushes, and whatever that is that is growing in the corner that you keep because it has pretty flowers, until you finally throw down your pruning shears, and walk away. Why? Because you’re too afraid you’re going to do something wrong kill the plants forever.

Professional Pruning and Trimming is needed to help your landscape flourish. Our professional pruning services will enhance the natural beauty of your trees and shrubs. Pruning will also help you preserve the strength and stature of the plant. Trimming addresses care concerns such as safety, structural integrity, shape and appearance.

Maintenance pruning preserves or improves the health and structure of your plants & shrubs. Special care is taken to encourage structural integrity, appearance, safety and the overall health of your plants & shrubs.

The Green Hill Landscaping Service Advantage

3 visits: (1) Late Spring (2) Late Summer (3) Late Fall

Late Spring Pruning

When approaching pruning methods, we start by removing any dead, dying, or misshapen parts of the plant before getting down and dirty with pruning for the overall health and production of the garden. Pruning promotes new growth, and in the case of flowering vegetation, this equals more blooms for you to enjoy throughout the season! Many plants benefit from late spring pruning.

Late Spring – Trimming/pruning of plants/shrubs/perennials (less than 15 feet in height) that have finished blooming, evergreen shrubs/plants, cut back branches too close to house.

Late Summer Pruning

There are not a lot of plants that you will want to trim during the heat of the summer. Summer is a time for gathering nutrients for winter storage, so any cutting you do will remove leaves from doing their job of ensuring a vigorous plant flowering. However, continual blooming plants, such as certain varieties of roses, and summer blooming perennials benefit from deadhead pruning techniques.

Late Summer – Trimming/pruning of plants/shrubs/perennials (less than 15 feet in height) that have finished blooming, evergreen shrubs/plants, cut back branches too close to house.

Late Fall Pruning

Fall pruning is mostly reserved for those plants that grow back from the roots each spring, and not woody stemmed growth since it is much too easy to accidentally cut needed growth. Plus, much of summer’s vegetation lends interest to a winter garden.

Late Fall – For the cutting back of perennials, ornamental grasses, as seasonally appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions about Plant, Tree, and Shrub Maintenance

What plants/shrubs do you prune each season?

We consider plants and shrubs (less than 15 inches in height) as seasonally appropriate to include into the pruning service. Nevertheless, since each landscape is unique in its design and fundamentals (soil type, shade, species, and varieties of planted vegetation), we will approach pruning factoring in all these aspects.

Does my property require your full program of tree/shrubs fertilization, insect & disease control?

For your landscape to receive the full benefits of our interventions, you also need to include our Plant/Shrub Fertilization & Insect/Disease Control Program into your landscape maintenance strategy, because your vegetation has to fight against different types of diseases that develop during specific moments of the year.

Is lawn mowing a prerequisite of the plants, trees & shrubs maintenance program?

As we said above, lawn mowing allows us to monitor frequently the changes and challenges your vegetation and landscape faces weekly/monthly. It helps us develop prevention techniques, allowing us to intervene promptly when necessary.

Ronald Stowe

Since we moved to Virginia 12 years ago we have struggled with landscaping companies until we found Greenhill two years ago. Their prices are reasonable and they do great work. We have been very happy with them and will continue to use their services.

Carolyn Stys

We have been using Green Hill Landscaping for 10 seasons. They are very professional. The three area mangers that we have worked with are Brandon, Andrew and Rami. All three have always provided first rate service while quoting jobs or giving us ideas of how to improve our property. They always follow up in a timely manner The in house office staff is friendly and will work with you on scheduling jobs around the clients busy schedule. We have been very pleased with the crews that come and perform the landscaping as well as the grass and fertilizer crews.

Joseph Balsamo

I have been a client of Green Hill Landscaping for more than 12 years. During this time I am happy to share that I personally know the owner and have constant contact with my area manager Rami when needed for special issues and projects. Very responsive team. I have been impressed the crew leader, Carlos, has been the constant leader of the service team during this period. It has been a great relationship and the office team is very responsive. I love it that they snow plow too!

We just moved in June and have been using Green Hill to do mowing, weed control and seeding. They do a great job, are fast and they don’t cut the grass to short. 🙂 Our lawn looks great and prices are good.

We’ve been using Green Hill for several years now and they have been consistently great when maintaining our lawn. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a landscaping company in the area.

Eric J

They provide a wide range of services and each year you can choose which ones you want. They provide reasonably priced weekly lawn mowing and seasonal pruning, seeding, fertilizing, and mulching if requested. They also clean gutters and do Fall and Spring leaf clean up. They have been responsible, and timely and easy to contact if plans change. They also come out to the house to discuss and plan special projects. We are very happy with Green Hill and have recommended to neighbors!

Kristina Darwe Debye

I have been using Green Hill Landscaping for 1.5 years and they do a great job. Lawn mowing is on time every week and with their regular lawn maintenance (weed, fertilizer and pest control) my lawn looks better than ever. I highly recommend GHL if you are looking for quality care at reasonable prices.

Werner Watschke

We have been utilizing Green Hill Landscaping for more than 5 years. They are on top of their schedule and are always here on a regular basis. Their area supervisors are knowledgeable and helpful. We have had a few issues over the years of landscaping being accidentally removed, but whenever it’s happened, they were very receptive and quick to fix the problem. They also aren’t afraid of our dogs, which is always a plus for us!!!
