Specialized Plant & Shrub Pruning North & Central New Jersey
That Protects Your Investment and Elevates the Beauty of Your Landscape
Expert Care, Trained Techniques,
and Lasting Results for Your Home
Homeowners across north and central New Jersey, from Warren and Westfield to Summit, Short Hills, Chatham, and beyond, invest heavily in their landscapes. Yet many don’t realize that improper plant & shrub pruning can cause long-term harm, undoing years of growth and thousands of dollars of investment.
The truth is, pruning is not just trimming. When done incorrectly, it can kill plants, prevent flowering, attract disease, and create unruly shapes that diminish your property’s value. Over time, these mistakes compromise the overall design and health of your landscape, leaving you with costly replacements and frustration. Many homeowners don’t realize why their plantings are struggling or dying, and in many cases, it’s due to improper pruning—or the lack of pruning altogether. Certain species, such as most perennials, ornamental grasses, and butterfly bushes, must be cut back annually to survive and thrive. Most maintenance crews treat pruning as an afterthought, but at Parker Landscape Design, we approach it as both a science and an art.
Our team is fully trained in the best practices for every species, with ongoing education each year to ensure your shrubs and ornamental trees are pruned at the right time, in the right way. We combine technical knowledge with a careful eye for design, shaping your landscape to match your preferences while preserving the long-term health of your plants. The result is a property that remains vibrant, polished, and valuable season after season.
