Hedges And Shrubs
Shaped so your yard looks designed instead of overgrown, and stays that way between visits.
Shape is a Maintenance Product
A hedge holds its shape the way a lawn holds its edge: through regular, moderate work. Most common hedge species carry their foliage in a thin outer shell over bare wood, so the shape you see is only a few inches deep. Trimmed regularly, that shell stays dense and the line stays crisp. Left for a year and then sheared hard, the cut goes past the shell into bare interior, and the hedge looks worse than before it was touched.
Timing by Plant, not by Truck Schedule
We trim to the plant. Spring-flowering shrubs get shaped after they bloom so next year's flowers are not cut off. Fast hedges get more passes, slow ones fewer. If a shrub is the wrong plant for the spot and no amount of trimming will make it right, we will say so instead of billing you to fight it forever.
Common Questions
How often should hedges be trimmed?
Fast growers like privet want two to four trims a season. Slower shrubs may need one or two. The honest answer depends on the plant, and we will tell you the cadence for what you actually have rather than selling a schedule.
Can a badly overgrown hedge be saved?
Often, but not always in one pass. Shearing years of growth off at once can expose the bare interior, because most hedge species only hold leaves on the outer shell. The right fix is staged reduction, and we will tell you up front if that is what yours needs.
Do you clean up the trimmings?
Completely. Trimmings are raked, loaded, and hauled, and the beds and walks are blown clean. The hedge should be the only evidence we were there.
