Specialist pruning

I undertake specialist pruning of garden plants, shrubs, hedges and trees. From roses and wisteria to hedges and fruit trees, I can help your garden plants to reach their full potential.

Roses

Whether your roses are climbers, ramblers or ornamental shrub types, careful and timely pruning means healthy plants. I prune rose bushes during their dormant stage, giving them a new lease of life. While roses are in bloom, I deadhead, remove dead wood and shape the plants, making the most of late season blooms. I can show you various ways to care for your roses, and offer advice on looking after them throughout the year.

Careful pruning can make such a dramatic difference! This series of pictures is of Kate’s rose, which had been neglected. The first image was taken after hard pruning in January. The second image shows all the foliage growing back and new rose buds forming in spring, and the third photo, taken in May, shows this beautiful rose in full, fabulous bloom.

Climbers and vines

Fast-growing climbers and vines such as wisteria, clematis, jasmine and honeysuckle are a firm favourite in our gardens. They transform the look of unsightly walls and fences, add height to borders, cover the ground well and grow happily through established shubs and trees. However, they can become unruly, growing into and over guttering and windows. Climbers and vines benefit from pruning at least twice a year. This not only keeps them from becoming a nuisance; it means lots more flowers, too!

Shrubs and hedges

I can prune your shrub plants and hedges. Seasonal pruning of shrubs and hedges helps keep them healthy and tidy. Whether shrubs and hedgerows are looking thin or overgrown, careful regular pruning and trimming of shrubs and hedges encourages fresh new growth and keeps them looking their best.
