Pray's Landscape Maintenance | Certified Landscapers in Bend, OR

We start by assessing the health and type of each shrub. For overgrown plants common in Bend, we often recommend a careful renewal pruning over several seasons. This method removes the oldest, thickest stems at ground level to encourage new, healthy growth from the base, rather than just shearing the outside. This approach reduces stress on the plant, improves air circulation to prevent disease, and gives you a more natural, manageable shape that fits the Central Oregon landscape.

Absolutely. This is a frequent issue here due to ground frost heaving and occasional wildlife. We can repair damaged sections or, often for a more durable long-term solution, recommend replacing it. We install heavy-duty, commercial-grade steel or aluminum edging that can withstand Bend's temperature swings. It's sunk deep for stability, creating a clean, permanent border that keeps mulch in, grass out, and won't warp or crack, saving you from repeated repairs.

A consistent seasonal schedule is key. We recommend a spring cleanup to assess winter damage to edging and plants, followed by strategic shrub trimming in late spring or early summer after the first flush of growth. In late fall, we focus on final trims and edging inspections before the freeze. This proactive, seasonal approach from a local team like ours prevents small issues from becoming major, costly problems, keeping your landscape resilient and well-groomed through every Central Oregon season.
