Reasons to have lawn maintenance services trim your shrubs
Help the plants to spread out
Biologically, plants are engineered to grow upwards in a process referred to as apical dominance. However, when you let your plants grow upwards only, they will not have the leafage that you desire and your lawn will look sparsely populated. Because the hormone that enhances upward growth is contained in the terminal bud at the end of every stem, to encourage the plant to grow sideways, these buds need to be pruned. When pruning is done by a professional, it enhances the sideway spread of the plants.
Control the height of the plants
Landscaping companies use pruning as one way to control just how high a plant can grow. If you have in mind the height that you would like a hedge to grow to or need to adhere to regulations set by your homeowners association (HOA), you will have to prune the plants. However, you want to do the trimming just right so that you do not stunt its growth. If you trim it the correctly, it will grow back, and that is why trimming is a regular job. Some plants can grow quite large and that is why they need to checked. If you want to maintain a small landscape, trim your shrubs regularly.
Give old shrubs a new lease of life
Multi-stemmed shrubs can age with time, reaching a point where they do not grow anymore. However, if you need new leafage on the shrubs, you will have to prune the shrubs so that sunlight can get to the plant from all directions. You can even cut the shrubs to stubs in spring so that they can sprout new branches and new leafage.
Trimming allows more sunlight to reach smaller plants
When you have tall shrubs they may overshadow the smaller plants thus preventing sunlight from getting to the smaller plants and as a result, the plants experience stunted growth. Trimming the tall shrubs would allow the sunlight to get to the smaller plants, thus helping all life in your garden to flourish.
Control the spread of diseases
Keep your eyes peeled for plant diseases in southwest Louisiana. If you do not know the indications of plant diseases, you will not be able to prevent their spread. However, when you engage professional lawn maintenance services, they will be able to find the diseased branches and trim them. Some branches may also die because of weather or age. Deadwood on your shrubs makes an unsavory sight but you can correct that by trimming.
