Landscape Pruning

Weekly Newspaper Article for The News-Democrat, Carrollton, KY


It has been a long, hard, and cold winter for Carroll County.  With the snowy and icy weather we have experienced this week, the beginning of March has certainly lived up to the age-old saying, "in like a lion."  Let us all hope it will go "out like a lamb."

Believe it or not, spring really is on the way, causing homeowners to begin turning their attention to the landscape.

To ensure healthy spring plants, consider pruning trees and shrubs around the home that have been affected by the weather.  However, do not prune just for the sake of pruning--be sure to have a valid reason.
