When to Schedule Professional Trimming:

Winter is the best time to trim. While the plant is dormant. This gives the plant more time to recover. It also helps prevent the spread of disease and pests. The leaves on most shrubs and bushes are also not in the way. This makes it easier to see the plant structure. Allowing for better cuts to be made. Dormant pruning also helps to control plant growth.
