Hedge Trimming
Hand-shaped hedges, healthy shrubs, crisp lines — from $45 a visit with full tidy-up included.
Shaped by hand, cut in season
Overgrown hedges swallow light, windows, and walkways. We restore their shape with a mix of powered trimmers for long runs and hand shears for detail — tapering sides so sunlight reaches the base and the whole plant stays full instead of leggy.
Timing matters as much as technique: flowering shrubs are cut after bloom, evergreens in their active windows, and nothing is sheared during nesting season without a check first. All clippings are raked, bagged, and hauled the same visit.

Trimming questions, answered
What homeowners ask before the shears come out. Still curious? Ask us directly.
Late spring for most evergreens, right after bloom for flowering shrubs. We'll schedule your visit in the right window — never a shearing in peak heat.
Usually yes, with staged reduction over two seasons rather than one hard cut. We'll tell you honestly when a plant is past saving — and what to plant instead.
Always. Raking, bagging, hauling, and a blow-off of nearby paths are part of every trimming visit — the price we quote includes all of it.
Fast growers like privet want two to three passes a year; slower evergreens need just one. We'll set a rhythm after the first visit.
