Pruning plants, shrubs and trees

We prune plants, trees and shrubs to maintain their shape and encourage healthy growth. With trees, it can also be a matter of health and safety, as we’ll remove dead branches to prevent the danger or them falling.

These are the main benefits associated with pruning:

Healthy growth
Stays the right size for the space
Maintains an attractive yet natural appearance
Encourages new plants to grow more densely

When we prune, we remove dead, diseased and damaged wood before pruning to shape. This helps to control the size of the plant or shrub, so that it doesn’t outgrow the space where it is planted and obstruct pathways.

Weeding and permanent weed removal

We can help you with general weeding, removing weeds from borders and lawns. This can be carried out on a one-off basis, or during a regular garden maintenance appointment.

We are also experts in removing pernicious weeds that could continue cause continuous problems. Director Daniel Hagan has a DEFRA-approved license to use pesticides, something that few independent gardeners have. This means we are fully licensed and insured to treat your pernicious weeds with industrial grade pesticides, herbicides and fungicides that are far more effective than those available on the domestic market.

Weeding and pruning as part of your maintenance package

Many of our customers choose to take out a maintenance package with us. This gives us the opportunity to remove weeds and prune shrubs and bushes on a regular basis, keeping your garden in good condition. Find further information on the price of our gardening packages.

Weeding and pruning tips from Lustre Gardens

Weeding and pruning are more specialist than you might think. They not only improve the appearance of your garden, they also help to encourage it to grow in the right way in future.
If you weed between regular maintenance visits, stick to ephemeral weeds such as dandelions. Pernicious weeds need to be treated at the right time, using professional grade products.
When pruning, plants may be cut down to a smaller size than is desired. Don’t panic – this helps them grow into the correct shape.
