Pieris japonica, commonly known as the Lily of the Valley shrub, is a popular choice for gardens in Seattle due to its beautiful evergreen foliage and stunning spring flowers. However, to keep this shrub looking its best, regular trimming and pruning are essential. This article provides an in-depth look at trimming and pruning services for Pieris japonica, including techniques, scheduling, and the benefits of professional care.


Our Approach
