I may need to cut my Peony plant down to allow for access to my backyard for hardscape work. The only access I have is by taking part of a fence down and driving over the plants. My intent is to use 4x4s and plywood etc to lessen the impact and bridge over the bedding. I will need to do this around the time they bloom or just before. I have had peonies for years and recall that they can take a lot of abuse. Does anyone see any drastic impact to my plants if I do this.
