There's a difference between shearing a bush into a ball and pruning it. Shearing makes a plant dense on the outside and dead in the middle; pruning opens it up, keeps its natural shape, and times the cut so you don't lose next spring's flowers. It takes longer. It's worth it.
On the list
- Shrub pruning, timed per species
- Ornamental tree shaping — dogwood, crape myrtle, maple
- Hedge lines kept crisp
- Fall leaf cleanup, scheduled in passes
- Storm-damage cleanup for small limbs
Fall is the main event
Sevier County sits under hardwood ridges, and from mid-October to December the leaves come down in waves. Left in place they smother fescue, hold moisture against foundations, and pack into beds where voles winter happily. Our leaf program runs in scheduled passes instead of one heroic cleanup, which is both cheaper and better for the lawn.
Pruning slots neatly into a recurring maintenance schedule — and half the time an overgrown property doesn't need new plants at all, it needs the ones it has rescued with a hard, well-timed prune. Thin lawn underneath it all? That's a job for treatments and seeding.
