Specialty Tree Pruning and Tree Trimming for Health and Aesthetics

For example, we prune a trailing Japanese maple to enhance its weeping form, as well as removing any dead or dying branches as we go along. We also focus on the health of trees and shrubs, taking no more than a quarter of the foliage off at a time. More than this is stressful for the plants, and can lead to trees and shrubs reacting and quickly sending out reactive growth to try and recover from harsh pruning.

We also take into consideration the design and feel of your yard. If you have a wild, woodland garden, we will prune for wildlife and a less manicured aesthetic than if you had a more formal yard.

With attention to detail and knowledge of the particular species, growth habits, and overall characteristics, we can improve the aesthetics and health of your trees and shrubs. These are the “backbone” of any well-designed garden or landscape. We also know that the time of year for tree pruning services is crucial. Many deciduous trees and shrubs are best pruned in the winter months when they are dormant.

Our Specialty Tree Pruning and Shrub Trimming Service Includes:

  • A variety of creative pruning and training techniques for trees and shrubs, such as espaliered fruit trees
  • Bonsai (Asian-style miniaturized plants).
  • Pruning specimen plants such as a focal point dogwood or Japanese maple, to maximize the beauty and visual interest year-round.
  • Hedge pruning to keep your shrubs looking good and maintaining the right height and shape.

Frontier’s expert team is here to serve you for all your special pruning and shrub trimming needs.
