What Our Customers Are Saying…

Anita and her crew are top notch! We got married in our backyard this past July and they transformed our gardens into beautiful works of art. Not only were the annuals gorgeous and prolific but the landscaping was above and beyond! We couldn’t have been happier. Our guests complimented our gardens throughout the entire night. We have referred Pleasant View Gardens to our neighbors and friends and look forward to working with them in the years to come!

Pruning Birch Trees

Birch trees require careful pruning to maintain health and aesthetics. Optimal times include late winter when dormant or late summer to minimize sap flow and insect activity. Avoid pruning in late spring to early summer due to peak birch borer presence. Proper techniques, particularly around the branch collar, ensure effective wound closure and tree vitality.

Thinking about pruning your oak tree? Read this first.

In Minnesota, oak trees should be pruned between November and March to avoid the risk of oak wilt spread by beetles active in warmer months. Proper pruning techniques include removing dead or damaged branches without cutting more than 25 percent of the canopy. For larger limbs, use the three-cut method. Always consult a certified arborist if unsure.
