- Groundcover: They need trimming during the winter.
- Ornamental Grasses: Most varieties of ornamental grasses need trimming only during the winter months.
Importance of Trimming Shrubs
When shrubs are left untrimmed, they can become overgrown. This causes the interior branches to stop getting nutrients and sunlight. Besides, the shrub will grow too big to support itself. This increases the chance of thinning out and decaying. This further results in a decline in flowering, thus affecting your landscape’s beauty.Trimming helps prevent this and offers many benefits, including:
- Healthier growth and retaining the natural shape of the shrubbery
- Promotes new plant growth and new flowers
- Makes the shrub stronger
All shrubs have their own perfect growing season and trimming technique. This is where our experienced shrub care specialists will help you with.
