Garden Tree Design

Ever wish your Japanese maple looked more like a bonsai and less like a bush? Ian, owner of Bebop Bonsai, specializes in Japanese maple pruning, ornamental tree pruning, and bonsai-inspired tree shaping. Using the principles of Niwaki, he carefully reveals each tree’s unique form, highlighting its natural movement and character—creating a breathtaking, distinctive tree that is truly a work of art.

Every Tree Has Potential

Give young trees the direction they need to develop beautiful structure and growth habits for years to come. Older, overgrown trees can take a different path—careful artistic pruning can transform years of unchecked growth into something graceful and extraordinary.

Whatever its age, your tree has the potential to become something extraordinary—and the envy of the neighborhood.
