Pruning for the shrubs and plantings that define your landscape.
M&P Landscaping’s shrub pruning services are backed by a team that includes horticulturists and arborists who understand how St. Louis plants grow through the seasons. That expertise shapes every pruning decision, from which plants get cut back and how much to remove, to what the bed will look like long after the pruning visit.
Opening up dense shrub canopies improves airflow through a property, which reduces the stagnant conditions that lead to fungal development on plants and turf. M&P Landscaping’s crews assess what’s happening across the full bed during every pruning visit, not just the plant being trimmed, and that perspective is what separates a pruning service that maintains a yard from one that actually improves it.
Do you handle tree pruning as well as shrubs?
M&P’s shrub pruning services cover all shrubs, bushes, and ornamental plantings. For larger, mature trees over 20’ in height, we coordinate with our sister company Meyer Tree Service, who specialize in tree care. If your property has both, we manage the full scope and bring in Meyer Tree where the work requires it.
What’s the best time of year to prune shrubs in St. Louis?
Depending on the season, mid- to late June is the window most St. Louis shrubs respond to best. That’s when plants finish their spring growth flush and begin transitioning into hardening off. One pruning visit at that transition point can often carry shrubs through the rest of the season without a second visit.
Can overgrown shrubs be saved with pruning?
In most cases, yes. Shrubs that have gone several seasons without attention are good candidates for rejuvenation pruning, which removes the older woody growth and encourages new growth from the base. If the plants are beyond saving, our seasonal cleanup crews can handle removal and clearing as part of a broader yard restoration.
