beautiful holly bushes in Chicago

Question

They have year round shiny green, spiny leaves and white flowers before the having bright red berries. We have holly bushes that are on the north side of our home that line both sides of front walkway. Two look dead in center but have beautiful green leaves and currently red berries toward the edges. They are need to be pruned badly but we don’t know how or when or who could do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

Any dead or diseased branches can be pruned out any time.
