Prune Your Commercial Landscape to Improve Security and Visibility

Are weak tree limbs hanging over parking spaces, walkways or blocking signs? Is shrub growth creating an obstacle for pedestrians or interfering with customer or vehicle safety?  Tree branches and overgrown shrubs can block views and increase the risk of accidents on your commercial property

Pruning is the solution. By removing diseased, damaged and dying limbs you improve the condition of trees and plants, while making room for healthy new growth come spring. 

Commercial properties with mature landscaping that branches out beyond what is visually pleasing and safe can cause landscape beds to look unkempt and messy and actually detour customers from your place of business.

By eliminating branches that interfere with sight lines and removing growth that is diseased, dying or dead you will create a more secure and attractive environment.  You will also increase the longevity of plants by improving their health, so you are preserving your landscape investment.

Aside from enhancing safety and visibility for pedestrians and drivers, pruning is an important aspect of complete landscape maintenance. Thinning out branches increases air flow and light exposure, therefore improving plant health and reducing the likelihood of diseases.  Pruning encourages new, healthy growth along with enhancing the overall appearance of trees and shrubs. 

In Kentucky, January and February are a good time to prune dormant trees and shrubs—before we begin seeing warmer weather and plant growth in early spring. What we’re saying is, the time is now.
