My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pruning Spiral Shrubs

24 years ago

When is the best time to prune spiral shrubs? I also have a poodle shrub that is not doing well. I have lost 2 globes on it already and I'm afraid to prune it. Does anyone know what the cure might be?
