What Sets Us Apart:
Here at The Pruning Guru, we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Each member of the Pruning Guru team has been trained to use proper pruning techniques to cater to the specific needs of each plant on your property. Incorrect pruning methods such as shearing will jeopardize the life span of a plant by causing unnatural growth patterns and damage, by possibly exposing the plant to infestation, rot, or disease. The Pruning Guru puts thought and intention into every cut made, keeping your plants neat and encouraging your plant’s natural shape while promoting healthy growth.
