Plant trimming season is officially in full swing at Stone Age Landscaping.

Our crews are now out trimming shrubs, shaping hedges, cleaning up overgrown landscape beds, and pruning small ornamental trees throughout New Hartford, Whitesboro, Clinton, Utica, and the Mohawk Valley.

We do not rush into heavy trimming too early in the season. For most routine landscape trimming, we like to wait until the plants have had time to put on their seasonal growth. Once that new growth matures, the plants can be shaped more cleanly, the trimming holds better, and the landscape has a more finished look for the rest of the season.

Proper plant trimming is about more than just making a property look neat. It helps maintain the shape of the landscape, keeps walkways and entry areas clear, improves curb appeal, and prevents shrubs and hedges from becoming overgrown or crowded.

Every property is different. Some plants need a light shaping, while others may need a more detailed cleanup after a strong growing season. Certain flowering shrubs also need to be trimmed at the right time so future blooms are not removed. That is why our team looks at the plant material, the location, and the long-term goal before trimming.

Stone Age Landscaping provides plant trimming, shrub trimming, hedge trimming, ornamental tree pruning, landscape bed cleanup, mulch installation, and full landscape maintenance services throughout the Mohawk Valley.

If your landscape is starting to look overgrown, now is a good time to get it cleaned up and shaped for the rest of the season.
