$40 · Fruit tree summer pruning by JoyGardens Collective

Summer pruning helps to form new fruiting spurs and control vigour. Do you need help pruning your fruit trees or shrubs? Get us to have a look! Estimates are free. We have the experience and the equipment. We are now taking bookings for summer pruning. Pruning in summer is best if you want to control vigor, but also to encourage fruiting spurs on all lateral branching. Pruning for the latter would happen in late August when this season's growth has finished. Our hourly rates vary between $35 and $45/hr. A large tree needing a renovative treatment usually takes between 4 and 6 hrs because there is so much volume and larger debris. Work requiring a 16 foot ladder is billed at $45/hr or more. The average tree that has been pruned recently takes between 1 to 3 hours, unless it is a dwarf. Debris removal is $50/ truck load. Please visit our website for more information about our collective! Our areas of service include all of greater Victoria, the western communities and Sidney.
