AIRFLOW & CONGESTION

• Reduce density to prevent humidity and fungal problems.
• Improve internal airflow and sunlight penetration.
• Remove crossing, weak, and dead wood.

CLIENT NEEDS & GARDEN DESIGN

Whether you want controlled height, improved privacy, more sunlight for windows, or tidier garden structure, pruning is tailored to your goals and the plant’s long-term health.

NATURAL SHAPE & GROWTH HABIT

I prune to encourage balanced growth, branch spacing, and natural architecture—avoiding harsh scalping or forced shapes.
