Crape myrtles are known for their colorful summer blooms and beautiful bark, but they only look their best with proper pruning. We trim to decongest the canopy, train healthy growth, improve airflow, and control size, all of which protect the tree from mold, mildew, and pests. A well-pruned crape myrtle has a clean, sculpted winter aesthetic, and when summer arrives, it rewards you with fuller, more vibrant blooms thanks to better sunlight and circulation! When it comes to crape myrtle pruning, choosing a team that understands the species is essential. Our professional crew use industry-recommended pruning techniques to enhance both health and appearance, ensuring your crape myrtles grow stronger each season. With our expert tree trimming services, you get long-term protection against common issues like overgrowth, poor structure, and plant diseases, while also boosting the overall curb appeal of your landscape. When pruning a crape Myrtle, it’s important to note its surroundings to understand the best method of pruning when deciding between top pruning, or just decongesting. Our crew looks for the crapes position around other trees, the house, or other obstacles that can result in the crape receiving less sunlight than it needs. When this is the case, we recommend to only decongest as top pruning could damage the tree and would allow other trees to grow in its place which means even less sunlight will be able to reach it. We take pride in providing reliable, detail-oriented crape myrtle maintenance that helps homeowners enjoy healthier trees, better blooms, and a more polished property year-round. If you want your crape myrtles to thrive, trusting our experienced team makes all the difference!
