Crisp, Clean Hedges That Frame Your Property

Overgrown hedges and shrubs make the best-maintained lawn look unkempt. We provide professional hedge trimming and shrub shaping that brings shape, light, and definition back to your landscape.

Our crew handles everything from quick maintenance trims on small ornamentals to multi-day jobs on large privacy hedges and overgrown shrubs that need rehab. We use commercial-grade trimmers, work safely, and clean up every clipping before we leave.

Why Trim Your Hedges?

Benefits of Regular Trimming

A trim isn't just cosmetic — it actively keeps your shrubs healthy and your property looking maintained.

✓

Healthier Plants

Regular trimming encourages dense, even growth. Removing old or dead branches lets sunlight and air reach the interior of the plant.

✓

Better Curb Appeal

Crisp hedge lines instantly elevate the look of your entire property. Even an average lawn looks great when the hedges are sharp.

✓

Property Safety

Overgrown shrubs can block sightlines from driveways, hide windows (a security concern), and grow into power lines or roof gutters.

What We Trim

Our Hedge Trimming Services

Maintenance Trims

Routine 1–2× per season trims that keep already-shaped hedges looking sharp. Best for established privacy hedges, formal boxwoods, and shaped ornamentals.

Shaping & Rehab

Bringing overgrown or unevenly grown shrubs back to a defined shape. May require multiple trimming sessions over a season for severely overgrown plants.

Cleanup & Hauling

All clippings collected, bagged, and hauled away. We never leave behind piles of branches or stray cuttings. Property is blown clean before we leave.

Our Process

How We Work

1

Walk-Through

We meet on-site, look at every shrub, and ask what you want — formal shape, natural shape, height adjustments, full rehab, etc.

2

Quote

Quote based on number of shrubs, size, and trim type. Maintenance trims are quick and affordable; rehab work costs more but is usually a one-time investment.

3

Trimming

On-site work — typically same day. Crew uses commercial-grade gas and electric trimmers, ladders for tall hedges, and tarps to catch clippings.

4

Cleanup

Every clipping bagged, every walkway blown clean. We haul everything away — you never see a leftover branch.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I trim my hedges?

Most formal hedges need 2 trims per year (early summer and late summer). Naturally-shaped shrubs may only need annual maintenance. We recommend based on plant type and your goals.

Can you trim very tall hedges?

Yes — we have ladders, pole trimmers, and the experience to safely trim hedges up to 12+ feet. For anything beyond that, we may recommend a tree service.

Will trimming hurt my plants?

Done right, no — proper trimming actually encourages healthier growth. Done wrong (too much off, wrong time of year, dirty blades), it can stress plants. We trim by species and season.

What time of year is best for trimming?

Most hedges in the Lakes Area are best trimmed late spring (after spring growth) and again in late summer. Spring-blooming shrubs (like lilac and forsythia) are trimmed AFTER they bloom.

Do you charge per hedge or per hour?

We typically quote a flat rate based on what we see during the walk-through. You know the price up front.
