Cut Back Shrubs

Cut back shrubs refer to plants that can benefit from being pruned right to the ground each season, a practice known as Coppicing. This is a great technique for certain shrubs that are grown primarily for their foliage. The result is a whole new flush of vigorous growth from the ground that is lush and thick with better foliage color. This group of plants includes Barberry, Ninebark, Spirea, and Weigela. This pruning should be done when the plant is dormant in the late fall or early spring before the new growth emerges. Read More

Design Services

Hillside Garden Center has professionally trained landscape designers on staff to help you design large or small projects and create unique living areas. From simple plant site selection to more elaborate designs, we can help.

At the initial consultation we discuss your needs and interests and discuss how far we need to go in the design process. Sometimes a simple sketch and estimate can move us forward to a scheduled date of installation. The consultations are by appointment with a fee of $40.00.

If a scaled design is needed, a fee will be agreed upon to do the actual design and estimate. In most cases, if Hillside Garden Center landscape staff does any or all of the designed work, design fees are waived.
