Pruning Services

I practice natural shaping of anything I prune. This means I work mostly by hand to show off the natural shape of each species. Because of the style of pruning I practice, I work on shrubs and trees that do not require heavy equipment, lifts or trucks. I do not provide hauling services of cut material but would gladly fill your yard waste bin or refer you to a hauling company.

Training Fruit Trees

Just bought a new fruit tree? Training it from year one is key to proper growth. I can shape your tree to look attractive, ensure healthy fruit growth and stay at an appropriate height for harvesting whether it is a standalone tree or on an espalier.

Canopy Restoration

Many trees have uneven canopies or misshapen branches because they were not pruned properly by an expert. With a few reshaping sessions I can restore your tree’s canopy to a more natural shape.

Winterizing

Winterizing is the process of cutting back plants, sometimes to the ground in winter, to ensure a flourishing bloom in the spring. With my knowledge of multiple plant species, I can help to correctly winterize your garden.
