Fatsia japonica Pruning & Size Control (Japanese Aralia)

Fatsia japonica, commonly known as Japanese aralia, is a stunning evergreen shrub that boasts large, glossy leaves and a tropical appearance. It’s often used in landscaping for its lush foliage and ability to thrive in shady areas. However, without proper pruning and size control, this plant can quickly outgrow its space, becoming unruly and overwhelming. Pruning not only helps manage its size but also promotes healthy growth and enhances its aesthetic appeal.

Our Approach

  • Assessment: We evaluate the health and size of your Fatsia japonica to determine the best pruning strategy.
  • Technique: We utilize proper pruning techniques that encourage new growth while maintaining the plant’s natural shape.
  • Timing: We recommend the best times to prune for optimal results, typically in late winter or early spring before new growth starts.
  • Maintenance Tips: After pruning, we provide tips on how to maintain your Fatsia japonica for continued health and beauty.

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal is fewer problems between visits and less work for you.

Service Cadences

  • Quarterly: Spring and fall deep clean, plus two tune-ups, ideal for keeping your garden in peak condition.
  • Bi-Monthly: Balanced care for most yards, ensuring your Fatsia japonica stays healthy and well-pruned.
  • Monthly: Perfect for high-visibility properties and rentals that require consistent attention.

What’s Included

  • Pruning: Proper trimming of branches to control size and shape.
  • Cleaning: Removal of debris and dead leaves to promote healthy growth.
  • Mulching: Optional application of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Health Check: Assessing for pests and diseases that could affect your Fatsia japonica.
  • Care Tips: Providing you with easy-to-follow instructions to maintain your plant’s health between visits.

Why It Matters

  • Safety: Properly pruned plants reduce the risk of overgrowth that can obstruct walkways and create hazards.
  • Curb Appeal: A well-maintained Fatsia japonica enhances your home’s exterior, contributing to overall property value.
  • Drainage: Pruning helps maintain airflow around the plant, which can prevent moisture buildup and reduce disease risk.
  • Maintenance Savings: Regular pruning can reduce the need for more extensive maintenance down the line, saving you time and money.
