Does your yard have plants that have outgrown their space or intended purpose? Have shrubs that were planted for privacy thinned out over time?
Instead of tearing the plant or plants out and starting over, another option would be rejuvenation pruning – the practice of cutting a plant back significantly to promote profuse new growth. This results in thicker, healthier plants that are more attractive in the long-term.

This wax myrtle hedge at a commercial property was overgrown and pushing into the canopies of the trees. Renovation allowed for more space between the trees and hedges and opened up the look of the landscape.
The best time to renovate plants is when they are dormant, before warm spring weather promotes new growth. In the Wilmington area, that means late March through April.
If you have plants that could benefit from renovation pruning or if you’d like to make other refreshers to your landscape this spring, contact us at 910-256-6345.
