**In short:** Well-shaped trees and shrubs give a garden structure and character all year round. How form is restored to neglected greenery.

Well-shaped trees and shrubs give any garden structure, tidiness and character — all year round, even when nothing is in flower. For one client we tidied and reshaped neglected greenery around a building.

## The challenge: restoring shape to overgrown, neglected trees and shrubs

To restore the form of overgrown, neglected trees and shrubs, and then put a regular maintenance plan in place.

## What shaping trees and shrubs involves

- Expert pruning and shaping of trees and shrubs
- Forming and trimming hedges
- Removing dead, diseased and broken branches
- Shaping ornamental forms — balls and cylinders
- Drawing up a seasonal pruning plan

*Clear forms and neatly pruned outlines give greenery a well-tended look.*

## The result: clear form, and a seasonal pruning plan

Greenery treated this way gains a clear form and a well-tended look, along with a maintenance plan that keeps it looking good through every season.
