Expert Crape Myrtle Pruning Services in Charlotte

Professional crape myrtle pruning that enhances the natural beauty of these beloved Southern trees. We avoid the damaging practice of "crape murder" and instead use proper pruning techniques that maintain graceful form, maximize summer blooms, and showcase beautiful exfoliating bark.

Crape myrtles require minimal pruning when planted in the right location. Our approach focuses on removing suckers, eliminating crossing branches, and selective thinning to improve structure. We prune during late winter dormancy, making clean cuts at branch collars that heal quickly and don't create unsightly knots or weak regrowth.
