Unsure if your trees and shrubs are healthy?

Thinking about using chemicals but not sure what’s best?

Have a design project and want a second opinion from a biological perspective?


You can ask me any questions you have about your plants.

Sanitary/Structural Pruning

Every tree and shrub needs sanitary pruning once a year. Dead branches from winter, broken branches should be removed to keep them healthy and beautiful. Weak wood attracts pests and causes disease.

Structural pruning is also important, especially while trees are young. In nature, trees grow in random shapes, which can lead to poor structure, cracks, and disease. Proper pruning is essential. Incorrect cuts can lead to serious health issues, and although the tree may look fine for several years, it could suddenly fall one day, even in calm weather.

Fruit Trees Pruning

It’s easy to get excited and plant everything at once, but it’s smarter to think ahead—5, 10, or even 15 years into the future.


Do you have enough space for a large fruit tree in your garden? Perhaps a column-shaped tree would fit better? Are you trying to grow trees in the same spot where you use chemicals and fertilizers for your grass? That’s not ideal. If you have many sprouts and suckers, and you’re cutting them all back each winter, only to have more in the summer, I can help you solve that problem.

Special Shapes Tree Pruning

Want something unique and creative for your trees?
I specialize in shaping trees in forms like:

  • Pollarding

  • Umbrella

  • Chandelier

  • Niwaki

  • Trellis

Shrubs Cutting

You can shape your shrubs however you like by pruning them regularly. If your shrubs grow long branches quickly, it’s best to trim them several times during the season to encourage side branches, making the shrub fuller and stronger. This prevents the shrub from collapsing under its own weight or under snow.

Old branches should be removed to make space for new growth. Not enough light can lead to fungal diseases.

Topiary/Hedges Trimming

Hedges should be trimmed at the right angle so the bottom doesn’t become bare.
Topiary shapes, such as circles and other forms, need regular trimming to keep their shape. If not, gaps will form, and it can take years for them to grow back.

Design Projects

I collaborate with a designer from Italy to create beautiful, natural gardens. A design project takes between 1-3 months to complete, depending on the size and complexity.


Our goal is to create a peaceful garden for you, not one that requires endless work.
