Our Shrub and Hedge Trimming Services
We offer flexible trimming services to meet your landscape maintenance needs and budget. From one-time cleanups to regular maintenance programs, we provide reliable, professional service.
Our trimming services include formal hedge shaping for boxwood, privet, and other traditional hedge plants. We create crisp, geometric lines for formal landscapes or softer, natural shapes for informal gardens. For flowering shrubs, we time our pruning to maximize blooms while maintaining attractive form.
We also provide rejuvenation pruning for overgrown shrubs, removing old wood to stimulate fresh, vigorous growth. All trimmings and debris are removed from your property, leaving your landscape clean and tidy. Many clients combine our shrub services with tree trimming and tree health maintenance for complete landscape care.
Timing Your Shrub and Hedge Trimming
The best time to trim shrubs and hedges depends on the plant species and your goals. Formal hedges typically need trimming 2-3 times per year during the growing season to maintain their shape. Spring-flowering shrubs should be pruned immediately after blooming, while summer-flowering varieties are best trimmed in late winter or early spring. Evergreen hedges can be trimmed in late spring or early summer after new growth hardens. Our team can develop a customized trimming schedule that keeps your landscape looking its best year-round.
