Correct pruning is essential for maintaining healthy, attractive shrubs and plants. At CLR Landscapes, we offer professional pruning services across Blandford Forum and the surrounding Dorset areas, ensuring every plant is pruned at the right time and in the right way.
We work with a wide variety of shrubs, small trees, and garden plants, providing careful, species-appropriate pruning.
Every pruning job is tailored to the specific needs of the plant, ensuring proper shape, airflow, and long-term vitality, but it is also recognised that sometimes, the needs of the customer, access for example, override best practice for the plant.
Pruning needs to be done with care. The wrong cut at the wrong time can reduce flowering, weaken growth, and spoil the natural shape of your plants. With our horticultural expertise, we prune each species correctly to encourage healthier, stronger, and better-shaped growth. If your garden needs professional, reliable pruning, get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.

Pruning times vary by species. We help you determine the best schedule:
✅ Spring-flowering shrubs: pruned after flowering
✅ Summer-flowering shrubs: pruned in late winter or early spring
✅ Evergreen shrubs: usually pruned in late spring or early summer
✅ Ornamental grasses: deciduous varieties cut back in late winter
If you are unsure when your plants should be pruned, we are happy to advise.
If your shrubs have grown large, leggy, or have begun to lose shape, rejuvenation pruning can restore their structure and encourage fresh growth.
✅ Hard pruning for selected species
✅ Multi-year gradual rejuvenation
✅ Removal of old, woody stems
✅ Opening the plant for light and airflow
This process can dramatically improve the appearance and health of mature shrubs.
Most shrubs benefit from annual pruning, but some require two trims a year, depending on species and growth rate.
