Single shrubs typically run $40-$120. Multi-shrub maintenance visits run $150-$500 depending on count and condition. Pairs well with mulching or seasonal cleanups. ## Process 1. 1 Identify which shrubs need pruning and the right technique for each species 2. 2 Prune with the correct cuts at the right time of year 3. 3 Clean up and haul off all material ## Why Shrub Pruning Matters in Harford County, Maryland Wrong pruning at the wrong time kills next year's flowers. Azalea, hydrangea, and lilac all bloom on old wood. Right pruning improves health, flowering, and shape. Most homeowners over-prune in summer and under-prune in dormant season — both hurt the plant. ## Common Questions ### When should I prune my shrubs in Maryland? + Most shrubs prune best in late winter or early spring before new growth. Flowering shrubs prune best right after they bloom. We follow the timing window for each species. ### Can pruning kill my shrub? + Wrong timing or over-pruning can. We prune per species best practices, so cuts help instead of hurt. ### Do you prune azaleas, hydrangeas, and lilacs? + Yes — and timing matters. Each blooms on old wood, so they get pruned right after flowering, not in winter. ### What about ornamental grasses? + Cut back hard in late winter, just before new growth pushes. ### Can I prune in fall? + Limited. Fall pruning forces tender new growth that will not harden before frost. ## Towns We Serve Available across every corner of Harford County, Maryland.
