Your plants are beautiful additions to your landscape in Colorado, so it's normal to want to keep them healthy and looking their best. To do that, you need trimming and pruning! Trimming involves removing overgrown branches to keep them from looking messy and give them a manicured appearance. Meanwhile, pruning is the process of removing dead, damaged, diseased, or insect-infested parts to keep the rest of the plant healthy. For these landscape maintenance tasks, you'll always want to hire professionals. They have the skills, experience, and equipment to get the job done right, plus they know the best time to trim and prune to ensure your plants stay in tip-top shape.

What is plant trimming?

Trimming is a landscape maintenance service that focuses on the aesthetics of your plants. It involves removing overgrown branches and foliage to clean them up and give them a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Trimming your plants is the best way to maintain their shape for a manicured look that can boost the curb appeal of your property. You can also utilize this task to give them a more unique, standout shape and take your plants to the next level. Aside from aesthetics, trimming will also clear the way to allow more sunlight and oxygen to reach the interior areas of your plants.

Trimming your plants should be done regularly throughout the year whenever they are looking messy.

What is plant pruning?

Pruning is the process of cutting away dead, diseased, damaged, or insect-infested branches on your plants. Compared to trimming, which keeps your plants looking beautiful, pruning focuses on maintaining their health. Removing problematic parts of your plants prevents them from spreading and affecting other healthy areas. Pruning also bolsters fuller growth and frees up nutrients so the healthy parts can maximize them instead of going to the weak ones.

Another distinct difference between trimming and pruning is the timing for when they should be done. Pruning should only be done when your plants are strong enough to handle the process. Different types of plants require pruning at certain times of the year, so it's crucial to avoid doing it when they can't tolerate it. Otherwise, you risk doing more harm than good.
