If you want your plants in New Jersey to stay healthy and look their best throughout the year, they will need some TLC from time to time. Two services that your plants will require to stay in their best shape are trimming and pruning. While these two services are often confused as the same thing, they are actually different and serve two different purposes. Trimming is done for aesthetic purposes and involves cutting back overgrowth to keep your plants looking neat and manicured. Pruning, on the other hand, is done for health purposes and involves removing dead, diseased, or insect-infested parts of a plant to prevent those issues from spreading. These services should generally be performed between July and August, but the timing depends on the specific plant. To ensure your plants are trimmed and pruned correctly and at the right times, it's best to hire professionals to perform these services.

Trimming is done to enhance the aesthetics of your plants!

When it comes to your plants, they can play a huge role in the overall curb appeal of your property, so you'll want to keep them looking their best. That's where trimming comes in. This service is designed to cut back any overgrown parts of your plants to keep them looking neat and manicured. During this process, you can tailor how your plants are trimmed to shape them and get them to a specific size that you like.

Pruning is done to improve the health of your plants.

While pruning is often considered to be the same as trimming, that's not the case at all! While trimming is done for aesthetic purposes, pruning is all about the health of your plants. Pruning involves removing parts of your plants that are dead, diseased, or infested with insects. By removing these parts of your plants, you can prevent those issues from spreading to other parts of your plants and causing bigger issues.

When should you trim and prune your plants?

While your plants need to be trimmed and pruned for both aesthetic and health purposes, you'll need to make sure that these services are only performed during specific times when your plants will benefit the most from them. Generally, your plants should be trimmed and pruned between July and August. However, those times are not set in stone. Different plants have different needs, and trimming or pruning them at the wrong times can be detrimental to the overall health of your plants.

To ensure that you don't cause any damage to your plants, it's best to hire professionals to trim and prune them. Professionals will be able to assess your plants and determine if they need to be trimmed or pruned. What's more, they have extensive knowledge of the best practices when performing these services, so you can rest easy knowing that they will perform these services correctly to ensure that they don't cause any damage to them.

Before hiring a company to trim and prune your plants, make sure they have a lot of experience as longevity is often a sign that they perform quality work.
