Tree & Shrub Pruning

Shape, Protect, and Maintain the Health of Your Landscape

Well maintained trees and shrubs provide structure, balance, and beauty to your property. Without regular pruning, they can become overgrown, stressed, or misshapen, which affects both health and appearance. J. Andrews Landscaping provides professional tree and shrub pruning for homeowners throughout the Lake Norman area. Our team focuses on proper cuts, careful shaping, and plant health so your landscape stays clean, safe, and attractive all year.

Healthy plants begin with proper pruning.

Why Pruning Matters for Your Landscape

Pruning is essential for the long term health and appearance of trees and shrubs. Proper pruning helps:

Improve growth and plant structure
Remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches
Reduce the risk of breakage or plant stress
Allow light and airflow to reach interior branches
Maintain clean, attractive shapes
Prevent plants from crowding walkways, windows, or other plants

Pruning is one of the most effective ways to keep your landscape looking well cared for.

Signs Your Trees or Shrubs Need Pruning

Many homeowners are surprised by how much pruning can improve the look and health of their plants. You may need professional pruning if:
  • Shrubs look uneven, overgrown, or crowded
