These programs are modeled after a typical plant
health care plan at Longwood Gardens.
They are only available from
the TREE DOCTORS!
A properly pruned plant looks better and stays
healthier.
Our specialists use a variety of professional
pruning methods including rejuvenation, “1/3rd
Rule”, thinning, size reduction, shearing and
selective hand pruning to insure that your plants
and your landscape look their best year round and
are as healthy as possible. To keep prices low, we will meet to determine
your priority plants and what is to be included in
this package.
ProPruning is not automatically included with any
other programs.
