Our Services

Pruning

Pruning done badly sets a plant back years. Done at the right time, in the right way, it keeps your roses, shrubs and trees healthy, well-shaped and flowering at their best.

What's Included

What our pruning service covers

We prune a wide range of plants with care and knowledge of each one's requirements:

  • Roses, both climbers and bush
  • Flowering and evergreen shrubs
  • Wisteria (summer and winter cuts)
  • Overgrown shrubs needing renovation
  • Removal of dead, diseased or crossing branches

Who It's For

Who books pruning with us?

Pruning is often one of those jobs that people know needs doing but are unsure how to approach:

  • People with roses that aren't performing as well as they should
  • Anyone nervous about doing their own pruning in case something goes wrong
  • Landlords and rental property owners who need overgrown shrubs brought back under control between tenancies
  • Anyone with a wisteria that has outgrown its space

How We Work

What to expect from us

Timing is everything with pruning. Hybrid tea roses go in late February or early March; ramblers immediately after flowering in summer; fruit trees in the dormant winter season. We know when each plant needs attention and will advise on the right schedule.

We prune, remove all dead and crossing wood, and take care to improve the shape and airflow through the plant. We don't just cut things back randomly.

Common Questions

Pruning FAQs

When should I prune my roses?
Hybrid tea and floribunda roses are best pruned late February to early March in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. Climbing roses that flower repeatedly can be lightly pruned then too. Ramblers that flower once should be pruned immediately after flowering in summer.
When should wisteria be pruned?
Wisteria needs pruning twice a year. In summer (July/August), cut the long whippy shoots back to 5-6 leaves. In winter (January/February), cut those same shoots back to 2-3 buds. Consistent twice-yearly pruning produces the best flowering.
Can you rescue a badly overgrown shrub?
Often yes, though it depends on the plant. Many shrubs will regenerate well from a hard renovation prune; others won't. We'll give you an honest assessment and explain what's likely to happen before we start.
When is the right time to prune fruit trees?
Apples and pears are best pruned in winter when they're dormant (November to February). Plums and cherries should be pruned in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf disease.
Do you take the prunings away?
We gather all the prunings and leave them in neat piles. Most customers put them in their brown bin in batches, or add them to a compost heap. We don't take waste away ourselves.
