Benefits of Pruning and Trimming Plants

Pruning is when you remove branches from a tree or plant. Pruning plants offers several benefits, both for the health and aesthetics of the plant as well as for practical purposes. Here are the benefits of pruning and trimming plants.

Thicker Foliage/Growth

When pruning away the ends of a plant, this allows plants to send their energy outward. The energy they send that way allows for more growth making the plants thicker. Your plants will look full and new.

Plant Health

Trees and plants can become affected by diseases. This will cause them to not grow or start to wilt/die. Pruning off those dying branches or parts of the plants allows for new, healthy parts to grow in. This will also stop these plant diseases from spreading further to the rest of the plant, or even into other plants as well.

Kept to Desired Size

Sometimes plants will start to become overgrown. If plants or trees border a walkway, they need to be kept of a certain size as to not overflow into the walking path. Also, plants in front of a house may look out of control if they are not pruned/trimmed.

Appearance

This brings up the next point, appearance. The way that the front of a house, or a commercial property looks can mean everything. Pruning and trimming keeps plants looking clean and tidy. No overgrown plants here! They can also be pruned into a particular shape if that is what you are looking for. This will increase curb appeal and keep everything uniform.

Reduces Pests and Rodents

Insects and pests can be managed with proper trimming. If there are any issues within the plant or tree, pruning allows you to see those issues more quickly. This will also keep them off your property. Your home is not their home!
