Seattle Winter Pruning
Winter in Seattle may be wet and chilly, but it’s also the perfect time to give your garden a fresh start.

By addressing overgrowth, dead branches, and structural issues now, you enhance your curb appeal, improve safety, and reduce maintenance needs later. Plus, with eco-friendly practices, you can contribute positively to the environment while enjoying a tidy landscape.
