PRUNING FOR PRIVATE AND PUBLIC LANDSCAPES

Aesthetic pruners develop gardens over time with PRUNING and DESIGN CONSULTATION, allowing the landscape beauty, drama and health. Much more information below!

“I have always loved the wild style of our California native garden, Leslie made it even better with her aesthetic pruning style. The wild is still there and the birds are still there but now I can enjoy viewpoints of special plants I could not see from my seating area previously and the larger plants are not taking over visually from their companions.
I think Leslie has a deep respect for California native plants and she pruned them lovingly from a place of knowledge and attuned to their spirit. I highly recommend utilizing her skill in your native garden, you will be pleased.” T. Blair

General

Leslie has practiced/taught Aesthetic Pruning, and had ongoing private and public garden clients for over thirty years. Aesthetic Pruning is pruning so natural you can’t tell the plant/landscape has been pruned. Aesthetic pruning involves pruning to a natural look of each species as it might grow in nature, but with boundaries while maintaining a “natural” look. Leslie prunes individual plants, and considers the overall design of the garden, movement, viewing points outside/from inside home, borrowed scenery. Leslie also provides professional referrals and design consultation hints. Past work listed in her bio.
