Complete Hedge Trimming Solutions
Well-maintained hedges provide privacy, define property boundaries, and create structure in your landscape. Our professional hedge trimming service keeps hedgerows dense, healthy, and attractive throughout the year. Whether you prefer formal geometric shapes or naturalistic informal hedges, our experienced crews deliver precise trimming that meets your aesthetic goals while promoting vigorous growth. Regular professional trimming maintains hedge health, prevents gaps and bare spots, and ensures your hedges continue to fulfill their landscape function.
Precision Shaping & Maintenance Trimming
Formal hedge trimming requires precision and attention to detail that creates clean, geometric lines. Our crews use professional equipment including extended hedge trimmers, levels, and guide lines to ensure perfectly straight edges and uniform heights. We shape hedges to be slightly wider at the bottom than the top, ensuring lower branches receive adequate sunlight and remain full and dense. This proper taper prevents the common problem of bare bottoms on hedges that have been trimmed incorrectly. For informal hedges and naturalistic screens, we use hand pruning techniques that maintain the plant's natural growth habit while controlling size. This selective approach creates softer, more organic shapes while keeping hedges within their designated space. We understand the growth habits of common hedge species—from fast-growing privet and boxwood to slower maturing yew and holly—and adjust our trimming techniques and schedules accordingly. Timing is crucial for hedge health, and we schedule trimming based on species-specific needs to avoid interfering with flowering or stressing plants during vulnerable periods.
Neglected hedges often develop gaps, bare spots, and overgrown sections that compromise their effectiveness. Our renovation service addresses these problems through strategic rejuvenation pruning. For overgrown hedges, we use phased reduction over multiple seasons, gradually bringing them back to desired size without shocking the plants. This patient approach maintains plant health while restoring proper form. Gap filling requires special attention—we evaluate whether existing plants can be encouraged to fill gaps through selective pruning or whether new plants need to be installed. When planting is necessary, we select specimens that match existing hedge material in size and variety, carefully matching growth rates for uniform appearance. We prepare planting sites properly and provide establishment care instructions to ensure new plants integrate seamlessly. For hedges with bare lower sections from years of improper trimming, we employ hard pruning techniques on appropriate species to stimulate new growth from old wood, gradually restoring density throughout the hedge.

Complete Site Cleanup & Restoration
Hedge trimming generates substantial clippings that require thorough cleanup. Our service includes complete removal of all trimmings from your property. We blow or rake debris from beneath hedges, clear driveways and walkways, and ensure no clippings remain in adjacent lawn areas where they could smother grass or create unsightly brown patches. All material is bagged or chipped and hauled away, leaving your property immaculate. We clean up not just the immediate hedge area but anywhere clippings may have scattered during trimming. For hedges adjacent to gardens or mulched areas, we carefully remove all clippings from plantings to prevent smothering and decay. After trimming, we inspect irrigation systems and landscape lighting near hedges to ensure nothing was disturbed during our work. The result is precisely trimmed hedges and spotless surroundings that showcase your property's neat appearance.
