Pruning for commercial property landscaping helps maintain their health and allows them to grow denser foliage. Also, pruning gives the shrubs a more pleasing shape and keeps them to a size appropriate for the building and landscaping. Continue reading to learn more about pruning shrubs for commercial properties.
Why Prune Shrubs?
Once the shrubs reach the ideal size, they will need trimming to ensure they don’t grow too big. You’ll also want to eliminate dead branches that may have died from plant disease or insect damage and thin out other components to give them room to grown. Also, so they are not impacted or spaced too closely.
In addition, giving shrubs plenty of room to grow includes leaving some space between them and the structure. Even if you don’t plan to walk between the shrubs and the building, it’s great to allow air circulation for the branches in the back and keep them from rubbing on the property.
Where Can Overgrown Shrubs be Problematic on Commercial Sites?
Aesthetically pruning for commercial property landscaping makes a difference. But the overgrowth can also cause other problems too. If the shrub covers signage, clients might struggle to find where they must go. Also, if plants hang over the building entrance or walkways, pedestrians could trip, get stuck on them, or be forced to change their path.
Moreover, shrubs and trees sometimes grow very tall to get stuck with power lines; this can cause downed wires if a branch falls. As a result, this can cause liability issues; whether it’s people hurting themselves or a branch falling when avoiding overgrown branches.
Pruning Maintains Long Term Health of Plants
Another benefit of pruning for commercial property landscaping is for the health of the plants. Sometimes decay can occur due to disease in shrubs and plants. In addition, this disease wants to and might spread if allowed to. Pruning is also vital because when you routinely prune, you can identify problems much earlier. If the disease is permitted to spread, it can destroy the whole plant, and kill it entirely. So, keeping excellent plant health on a commercial site is critical because you’ll need to keep everything pristine for business success.
