Seattle Pre-bloom trimming for shrubs

In Seattle, the lush greenery is a hallmark of our beautiful neighborhoods, but it requires regular care to maintain its vibrancy. Pre-bloom trimming for shrubs is essential for ensuring that your plants are healthy, visually appealing, and ready to thrive in the upcoming growing season. By investing a little time and effort now, you can enhance your property’s curb appeal, improve safety, and enjoy lower maintenance in the long run. Let’s dive into how pre-bloom trimming can benefit your home.
