It's last call for Crepe Myrtle and Rose Pruning
Let SecureTurf trim your trees for optimal plant health.
Time is running out... just a few weeks left.
Spring buds come quickly and then it's too late for trimming and pruning.
December through February is the best time of the year to prune trees

Rose pruning brings out the best in both appearance and performance.
While shrub roses, such as the Knock Out are sometimes touted as being

practices, and the Knock Out rose is no different.
Pruning improves the health of the bush and the quality of the blooms.

When should you prune? Rose pruning should be done just as buds
break dormancy, usually around mid-to-late February through
mid-March in our area.
If you are not sure if you can trim or prune, we can assist you.
In the spring your trees can look like these trees below.
