Normandy Park Dormant season trimming

In Normandy Park, the dormant season can be a tricky time for homeowners and property managers alike. As the cooler months approach, many trees and shrubs lose their leaves and enter a state of rest. During this period, it’s essential to perform strategic trimming to maintain the health and appearance of your landscape. The good news? A well-timed dormant season trim not only enhances curb appeal but also promotes safety and reduces maintenance needs throughout the year. Let’s dive into what dormant season trimming entails and how it can benefit your property.
