This type of pruning is similar to, but distinct from, trimming and is a technique utilized for removing weak, damaged, diseased, dead, or otherwise unhealthy branches in your shrub, hedge, and trees. The state of your plant will determine how much pruning is needed to restore it.
Once the work is complete, depending on the level of pruning needed, you may notice a significant change in the appearance of your plants. It is normal for pruning to look extreme, especially for plants with many unhealthy branches. New growth will appear over time, and your plant will thrive, rejuvenated and healthier than before.
Please understand that trees are living things that cannot always be recovered. While quality pruning will never damage a healthy tree alone, unhealthy trees can find it difficult to handle the stress. Like doctors, we do our best to provide your plants with the best care possible. Regrettably, some trees and shrubs are too far gone, the pruning process proves too stressful, and they die. While we work hard to avoid this, it is important to understand before corrective pruning for very unhealthy trees.
