Shrub & Bush Trimming
We hand-shape shrubs and hedges so they actually look balanced from the curb. Not the buzz-cut-everything approach a lot of crews take.

What you get
Process
First visit, we walk every shrub and hedge with you (or virtually if you're not home) to confirm shape, height, and how aggressive you want the cut.
We use power trimmers for the bulk of the work, then switch to hand shears for any detail areas where the shape really matters.
Every leaf and branch goes into the truck. No piles left in beds, no clippings ground into the lawn.
Seasonal timing
Most shrubs get one or two trims a year. The big window is late June (after the spring growth flush) and a tidy-up in early September. Spring-flowering shrubs (lilac, forsythia) wait until right after they bloom so we don't cut off next year's flowers.
Where we serve
We time trims to the plant. Spring-flowering shrubs get trimmed right after they bloom; summer-blooming ones can be done late winter or early spring. Tell us what you have and we'll handle the timing.
Yes. Full removal, including stump grinding for smaller shrubs, is part of what we do. For larger ornamentals or hardwoods, we may refer to a tree service.
Most of the time, yes. Boxwoods, yews, and arborvitae can usually be brought back over 1–2 seasons of progressive cuts rather than one drastic chop.
