Shrub Removal in Joliet

Shrubs, like trees, are best maintained through regular trimming.  Pruning is the best way to ensure that a bush has healthy growth patterns, including a desired shape.  It also prevents growth from becoming unmanageable and choking out other plants.  There are two main types of cuts used to maintain the shape and health of a shrub: heading and thinning.  Heading cuts remove a small part of the end of a branch to encourage growth.  Thinning cuts remove branches at their base, which in turn manages shape, reduces overall size, and allows more air and sunlight into the middle of the bush.  While dead branches can be removed at any time of the year, trimming should be done in the late winter/early spring to encourage growth.  If the shrub flowers in the spring, pruning should be done in early summer once the flowers fall off so that their beauty can be enjoyed.

Unfortunately, shrubs can sometimes develop issues that result in the need to remove them.  Though removing a shrub can usually be done more safely than tree removal in Joliet, IL, we recommend enlisting the help of the professionals at Joliet Tree Service Specialists for the best results.  Removing a bush might be necessary in cases of:

• ​ Poor health:  As with any plant, bushes are susceptible to parasite infestation and disease, which can infect other plants nearby.  When a shrub is sick, it pulls up important ingredients from the soil, hindering the growth of nearby plants.

 

• Overgrowth: This is a common problem that occurs when a bush has gotten too big and begins blocking out the sunlight of other bushes or plants nearby.  Shrubs can also grow in awkward and undesirable directions.  When the growth has become unmanageable, removing the plant is usually the best option to make way for new plants, or room for others to grow better.

 

•  Excessive damage: When a shrub becomes severely damaged by wind or storms, removal is often the only course of action.

​

• New landscaping: If new landscaping is planned, bushes often need to be removed to make room for new plants.
