Shaping, Overgrowth Removal, and Bed Readiness
Overgrowth removal often starts at entries, garage sightlines, and walks where shrubs have narrowed access. Opening those areas improves both appearance and day-to-day use of the property.
After trimming, many Franklin homeowners schedule mulch or plant installation so beds do not look sparse once volume is reduced. Trimming first usually creates a cleaner finished look than mulching around unshaped shrubs.
If shrubs are woody, hollow, or repeatedly failing after hard pruning, replacement may be the better conversation. We will say so during the estimate rather than trimming plants that no longer serve the landscape.
