Shrub & Hedge Trimming
Professional shaping and maintenance that keeps your landscaping neat and healthy.
Keep Your Landscape Looking Sharp
Well-maintained shrubs and hedges transform your property. They frame your home, define spaces, provide privacy, and create curb appeal that makes your neighbors jealous. But keeping them looking good requires regular trimming and proper technique. Overgrown, shaggy hedges make even expensive homes look neglected. Shrubs trimmed incorrectly become misshapen and thin. Our professional trimming services keep your landscape plants healthy, dense, and beautiful year after year.
Many homeowners struggle with hedge and shrub maintenance. It looks simple, but there is real skill involved in shaping plants properly. Cut too much and you expose bare wood that may never fill in. Cut at the wrong time and you remove flower buds. Use the wrong tools and you end up with brown, damaged foliage. We have the experience, equipment, and knowledge to trim your plants correctly. The result is thick, healthy growth and the clean, manicured look you want.
Benefits of Professional Shrub Care
Regular professional trimming provides benefits beyond just appearance:
- Promotes dense, compact growth and fuller appearance
- Maintains size and shape without damaging plants
- Removes dead or diseased branches before problems spread
- Encourages flowering on bloom-producing shrubs
- Prevents plants from blocking windows, walkways, or views
- Extends plant life through proper care techniques
Timing makes a huge difference in shrub and hedge care. Spring-blooming plants like forsythia and lilac should be trimmed right after flowering, not before. Summer-blooming plants can be shaped in early spring. Evergreen hedges tolerate trimming almost any time during the growing season. We know the right timing for dozens of common landscape plants and trim accordingly to maximize health and appearance.
Our Shrub and Hedge Trimming Process
We start every job by walking your property and discussing your goals. Some clients want formal, geometric shapes while others prefer natural, informal growth. Privacy hedges need different treatment than foundation plantings. Once we understand what you want, we select the right tools and techniques for your plants.
For formal hedges, we use professional hedge trimmers to create clean, straight lines and smooth surfaces. We shape hedges slightly wider at the bottom than the top, which allows sunlight to reach lower branches and prevents bare spots. For individual shrubs, we use hand pruners and loppers to selectively remove branches and maintain natural shape. We never just shear everything into balls, that creates long-term problems.
After trimming, we clean up thoroughly and haul away all clippings. Many clients schedule regular maintenance visits throughout the growing season to keep plants in perfect shape with minimal effort. Quarterly or monthly service keeps fast-growing plants under control and your landscape looking professionally maintained all year. Whether you need a one-time trim or ongoing care, we provide reliable service that fits your schedule and budget.
