We take out dead, crossing and crowded growth and shape what's left, so shrubs and hedges stay neat and paths stay clear.
In Brisbane gardens, we prune shrubs, hedges and garden beds, plus small ornamental trees where it suits the tree. Each plant gets a look before we cut, and we tidy up the green waste when we're done.
We take out dead, crossing and crowded growth and shape what's left, so shrubs and hedges stay neat and paths stay clear.
When shrubs have grown out over the path, hedges look tired or the beds are packed tight, it's time for a prune.
For when pruning is one job on a longer list, like a clean up or getting ready to sell.
When to trim a hedge and how to stop it going thin at the bottom.
What to prune, mulch and water once the weather cools down.
We aim to reply within 1 business day. Bigger jobs may need a site visit first.
If other garden jobs need doing on the same visit, list them all in one request.
How we get in, and any slopes or locked gates.
Close ups of the jobs, and one wide shot of the area.
A one off job or regular visits, and any date we need to work to.
After storm season, an Ascot, Hawthorne or Balmoral garden may need a clean up, pruning and hedge work, weed control and an irrigation check before regular visits start again.
Storms bring down branches and can damage hedges, and weeds grow fast in wet beds. We can sort all of it in one tidy up.
The aim is to fix the shape, clear the way and let air through, without cutting off more than a plant can grow back from.
We look at how the plant grows, when it flowers and how stressed it is. Then we take off only as much as it can handle without looking bare.
Big hedges, screening plants and feature shrubs can take a few lighter cuts better than one heavy one. That matters most in the warm months, when everything grows fast.
Some plants are best left until after they flower, or until watering problems and stressed soil are sorted out. Sometimes the best call is to wait.
We prune gardens in Paddington, New Farm, Ascot, Hawthorne, Balmoral, Chelmer, Graceville, Toowong, Taringa, Indooroopilly and Auchenflower.
We trim established Brisbane hedges to suit the species and keep formal and informal lines neat. Green waste removal is included after hedge trimming.
In established Brisbane gardens we prune to suit the plant, the season and how stressed it is, and we'll tell you when it's better to wait.
After a Brisbane storm, we clear the fallen leaves and green waste first, then mow, prune damaged shrubs and check the irrigation if heavy rain showed up dry or soggy spots.
It comes down to the plant, when it flowers, how fast it's growing and whether it's under stress. We'll tell you if a plant should be cut back now, shaped a little at a time or left for later.
Yes. Hedge trimming keeps a hedge to its line or shape. Pruning is more selective, and we look at the plant's health, airflow, clearance and how it'll grow back.
Yes. Pruning is part of garden maintenance, along with weeding, hedging, mowing and mulching.
