Every neighbourhood has one — the hedge that got sheared into sticks, the flowering shrub that never bloomed again after a bad haircut. Pruning at the wrong time of year, or the wrong way, can set a plant back for seasons.
I spent three years at Cosby's Garden Centre learning exactly this: what each plant needs and when it needs it. Whether it's shaping a hedge, opening up an overgrown shrub, planting new stock, or removing a bush that's past saving, the work gets done with the plant's health in mind — not just the fastest cut.
Call, text, or send the form — I'll come take a look and give you a written price.
We agree on the scope and pick a time that works, evenings and weekends included.
Done properly, with the site kept tidy while I work.
We look it over together — the job's not done until you're happy with it.
Every job starts with a free, no-obligation quote. You'll know the price before any work begins — no surprises, no hidden fees.
It depends on the plant — spring bloomers get pruned right after flowering, most hedges in early summer, and many trees in late winter while dormant. That's exactly the kind of call I make for you, plant by plant.
I handle small and medium trees and bushes. Large tree removal near buildings or power lines is a job for a certified arborist with climbing and rigging equipment — I'll tell you honestly when that's the case and help you find the right person.
No — hauling away the debris is part of the job. The area gets raked out and left tidy, and if you want something planted in its place, I can handle that in the same visit.
Yes, and it's usually the best time to do it — the ground is already open. I'll suggest options that fit the space and won't recreate the same problem in five years.
More than people think, if they're sited well — wind exposure and salt matter as much as cold here. I stick to varieties proven in Nova Scotia's zones and place them where they'll actually thrive.
