Why Regular Shrub Pruning Is Essential—And Why It Pays to Do It Right

Tree Removal

Overgrown, misshapen, or dying shrubs don’t just impact curb appeal—they can smother healthy growth, attract pests, and even become safety hazards. Our shrub pruning service is designed to address the full health and structure of your shrubs—not just make them look neat for a weekend.



We prune with purpose:


  • Encourage fuller, healthier growth
  • Remove dead, diseased, or infested branches
  • Prevent overgrowth near walkways, homes, and fences
  • Promote beautiful flowering (for blooming shrubs)
  • Improve overall plant structure and longevity


And unlike quick cut-and-go landscapers, we understand the biology of your shrubs. Timing and technique are everything—especially when it comes to bloom cycles and long-term health.

When Should Shrubs Be Pruned Back?

The cost of lot clearing depends on several factors, including the size of the land, the number and size of trees or brush to be removed, and how accessible the area is. While prices vary, our clients choose Joe Tree because we offer fair, honest pricing based on actual labor and equipment use—no hidden fees.


We’ll provide you with a free consultation and walk-through so you know exactly what to expect. With us, you get clarity and quality from the very start.

FAQs About Shrub Pruning

  • 1. How often should I have my shrubs pruned?

    Most shrubs benefit from pruning once or twice per year. Spring bloomers should be pruned right after flowering, while summer bloomers can be pruned in late winter or early spring. We can assess your landscape and set the ideal schedule for each plant.

  • 2. Is shrub pruning different from trimming?

    Yes. Trimming is generally cosmetic—just cutting back growth to make the shrub look tidy. Pruning, on the other hand, is strategic and structural. It involves removing deadwood, improving airflow, and encouraging strong, healthy growth for the long term.

  • 3. Can pruning damage my shrubs if done incorrectly?

    Absolutely. Over-pruning, pruning at the wrong time, or using improper techniques can stress or kill a shrub. That’s why hiring professionals like Joe Tree ensures your plants are pruned for health—not harm.

  • 4. Do you offer seasonal shrub pruning packages?

    We sure do. If you're interested in regular, worry-free care throughout the year, ask us about setting up a seasonal pruning plan customized for your property.

  • 5. What’s the cost for shrub pruning near me?

    Pricing depends on the size, type, and number of shrubs, along with any special conditions. We’re happy to provide a free, no-pressure estimate—just give us a call or text Ryan or TJ directly.

    Just had a 60 year old 100 foot Norway Spruce taken down today.  Several fences, a shed and our house were in close proximity to the tree.  The guys doing the job were awesome.  The job was done in two hours and I couldn’t be happier with their work.  Everything was cleaned up nicely after they finished and no damage was done whatsoever.  Highly recommend Joe Tree - Tree Service.

    Emergency Tree Removal!

    I lost a tree which landed in 2 neighbors yards. They came they removed and they cleaned up after themselves.  I was happy but more importantly my two neighbors were happy.

    “Like they were never here”

    “I need the number - I want to get a quote”


    They will be back in a few weeks to remove  some other “could be causalities”.

    I’ve been worrying about the four oak trees on the side of my house falling  during heavy winds.  After the last hurricane barely missed us I decided it was time to remove the trees.


    The crew arrived on time and the magic started.  It was like watching tree top ballerina’s with chainsaws.  This process is loud and messy but these guys were up to the task.  All that remains is a pile of mulch were trees use to be.


    We are very happy with the results.

    They were prompt, courteous and professional.  I got 7 bids they were clearly the lowest.  There was slight damage to the siding that they repaired at their cost.  I highly recommend them.
