Tree & Shrub Care
When we prune, we follow one clear standard for success: Have we retained the long-term health and beauty of your tree or shrub?
We care for trees because we love our planet. Proper pruning is an important part of caring for trees.
But it’s difficult. It is a complex art based on an understanding of tree biology that must be performed precisely. Improper pruning cuts cause irreversible harm that often results in decline in health, structural instability, or death.
“There are few things in life quite as satisfying as slowly crafting a shrub or young tree, making calculated snips with my Felcos and precise cuts with my handsaw…
..The task itself requires focus and creativity. I find this to be meditative, calming, and highly engaging. Once the pruning is complete, I love that final moment when I am able to step back and admire the plant’s newfound beauty.”
— Basil Camu
We also hand-prune shrubs.
Biologically speaking, shrubs are just small trees so the concepts of pruning trees apply to pruning shrubs as well. While many shrubs are better able to withstand improper pruning such as shearing, the challenge is knowing when and how to prune each of the various species to enhance health, flowers for pollinators, and form.
Learning to properly prune trees and shrubs requires knowledge, practice, time, and experience. It also requires artistry. It is knowing what to prune, and how the plant will react to each cut given all existing conditions, in order to achieve a specific goal.
When it is all said and done, we believe pruning comes down to one simple standard: have we retained the long-term health and beauty of your tree or shrub?
