Rejuvenate Old Underperforming Shrubs

Let Us Rejuvenate Your Landscape’s Original Shrubs

Rejuvenation pruning is a method used to restore old, overgrown, or underperforming shrubs by cutting them back severely to encourage new growth. This process typically involves removing up to one-third of the plant's oldest and largest stems, sometimes down to ground level, depending on the shrub’s age and condition.

The goal is to remove dead, diseased, or damaged wood, allowing more light and air to reach the remaining branches. By stimulating the plant’s dormant buds, rejuvenation pruning encourages vigorous new shoots that will improve the shrub’s overall health, shape, and flowering potential.

The best time to perform rejuvenation pruning is during the early spring or late winter when the shrub is still dormant. While it may look drastic, this method can revitalize aging shrubs and bring them back to a more vibrant and productive state.
