Eric Zimmerman Landscaping | Best Landscaping in Bloomfield, NJ

Absolutely. Overgrown shrubs are a frequent issue here due to our local climate. We start with a thorough assessment of your specific shrubs. Our process typically involves selective thinning and shaping to reduce size while maintaining a natural form, promoting better air circulation and light penetration for healthier future growth. We clean up all debris, leaving your property neat and your shrubs looking well-maintained.

In many cases, dying shrubs in Bloomfield can be saved with proper intervention. We'll diagnose the cause—whether it's disease, pest infestation, poor soil, or simply severe overgrowth—and recommend a course of action. This might include rejuvenation pruning, soil amendments, or targeted treatments. If the plant is beyond recovery, we can advise on and install hardy, native replacements that thrive in our local conditions.

The ideal timing depends on the shrub type and the specific service. For most non-flowering shrubs, late winter or early spring is optimal for major pruning, just before new growth starts. For flowering shrubs, we time pruning right after they bloom to avoid cutting off next year's buds. Planting replacements is best done in the cooler, wetter periods of early fall or spring. We'll provide a schedule tailored to your landscape during our consultation.
