Do you handle both trees and shrubs in one service visit?
Yes! One of the main benefits of choosing Cox Arboriculture is that we handle all your pruning needs in a single visit. Our team can prune your trees, trim your hedges, and shape your ornamental shrubs all at once, saving you time and ensuring your entire landscape receives consistent, professional care.
When is the best time to prune shrubs in Orlando?
The best time depends on the shrub type. Flowering shrubs like azaleas should be pruned immediately after blooming to preserve next year's flowers. Evergreen hedges can be trimmed year-round but respond best in spring and fall. Non-flowering shrubs are typically pruned in late winter. We'll advise on the optimal timing for your specific plants.
How much does tree and shrub pruning cost in Orlando?
Costs vary based on the number and size of plants, complexity, and condition. Many homeowners find that combining tree and shrub pruning in one visit is more economical than hiring separate services. We provide free, detailed estimates after assessing your property.
Can pruning help my overgrown shrubs recover?
Often, yes. Many overgrown shrubs can be rejuvenated through strategic pruning. Some species can be cut back hard and will regrow vigorously, while others require gradual reduction over multiple seasons. Our arborists will assess each plant and recommend the best approach for recovery.
What's the difference between pruning and hedge trimming?
Hedge trimming typically refers to shearing the outer growth for a uniform shape—great for formal hedges. Pruning is more selective, removing specific branches to improve plant health, air circulation, and natural form. We do both, choosing the right technique for each plant and your desired outcome.
How often should shrubs be pruned?
Most shrubs benefit from annual pruning, with formal hedges often needing 2-4 trims per year to maintain their shape. Some fast-growing shrubs may need more frequent attention, while slow-growers may only need pruning every 2-3 years. We can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific plants.
