Keeping a well-manicured yard looking good all year long can be quite a challenge. There are so many things to consider such as whether to fertilize, how to best handle weeds and how often to trim your trees and shrubs. Each of these areas of your yard has a unique art and science to getting it just right. As far as timelines for trimming your trees and shrubs, it all depends on the varieties and ages of each tree and shrub in question. Some need to be trimmed or pruned just once per year and others require maintenance all throughout the year in order to remain looking beautiful and perfect.

You may want to purchase a book on trees and shrubs to find out the exact timelines for the particular types of trees and shrubs in your yard. In addition to knowing exactly how often to trim or prune them, there is also a science to how to trim them. Some trees and shrubs may be trimmed at the leaves to achieve a particular shape or pattern, while others must be trimmed at the branches in order to grow properly and remain healthy.

You might want to consider hiring a professional to trim your trees and shrubs. This is a great way to ensure that everything is being done properly and that your yard will look its best all season long. A professional will know exactly how often to trim your bushes and trees and will know exactly how each needs to be pruned in order to remain healthy and look great, too. Before choosing a professional to take care of the plants in your yard, you should check to see if they are accredited with the Denver Better Business Bureau. You will be able to find out whether a particular company has any complaints against them and whether they are accredited so that you can choose a reputable company that will do the job right.

Keeping your trees and shrubs looking their best is something that requires some information, time and effort, but it is worth it to have your yard looking the way you want it to, especially in the spring and summer when so much time is spent outdoors. Whether you hire a professional or opt to educate yourself to do the job, having neatly trimmed trees and shrubs adds a fresh, clean look to your yard and makes spending time there more pleasurable for everyone.
