WHAT WE DO
The Virginia Boxwood Company offers a professional maintenance and pruning program for mature boxwood. We care for scores of private homes, estates, colleges, institutions, churches and cemeteries throughout Virginia.
Boxwood Rehabilitation
- We offer an on-site consultation to evaluate your boxwood.
- We tailor a rehabilitation program designed to serve your location’s needs. This includes a nutrient regimen with the emphasis on organic and integrated pest management (IPM) site analysis.
- In our commitment to protect the environment, we utilize organic horticultural oils and soaps to responsibly treat insect infestations.
Boxwood Thinning Program
- To be eligible to have your Boxwood pruned by Virginia Boxwood Company at no cost, you must possess a minimum of 40-50 Boxwood trees at least 5 feet tall (no shrubs). If your boxwood does not meet these requirements, VBC still may be able to prune your Boxwood outside of our busy season (August-November) for a fee.
- Once plants are brought up to optimum health under our tailored rehabilitation program, enrollment in our complimentary boxwood thinning program begins. Special reduction and rejuvenation projects are subject to a fee.
- Professional thinning allows air and sunlight to enter the interior of the plant, which is vital to its survival. Our artisan harvesters are trained to find a delicate balance between preserving the integrity of the plant’s form while encouraging the correct type of regrowth, promoting longevity and health.
- For the sites in the program, we establish two to three year cycles for thinning which provide the optimum benefit for the health and regrowth of the shrubs.
