Ballard Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services
Elevate your home’s curb appeal with our expert sides and top trimming services! We ensure your hedges look neat and well-maintained, free from ragged edges or leftover clippings. Our approach includes a slight taper at the bottom, fostering healthy growth while we clean up and haul away all debris afterward.
Why You Need Shrub Trimming
In Ballard, overgrown hedges can pose several issues:
- Safety Hazards: Bulging hedges can obstruct sidewalks and driveways, creating potential tripping hazards.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Wavy tops and uneven heights detract from your home’s charm, especially in a neighborhood as vibrant as Ballard.
- Visibility: Overgrown greenery can obscure windows, house numbers, and outdoor lighting, making your property less inviting.
- Messy Clean-Up: Other services may leave clippings behind, creating additional work for you.
Our Trimming Standard (Sides + Top)
We uphold a high standard for our trimming services:
- Set the Height Line: We ensure a straight and level top for a polished look.
- True Vertical Cuts: Our technique maintains a slight taper, ensuring your hedges stay healthy and vibrant.
- Clean Corners & Ends: No “puffy” returns or jagged edges here.
- Sightline Clarity: We make sure pathways, windows, and house numbers are unobstructed.
- Full Clean-Up: We rake/blow and haul away debris, ending with a tidy bed edge.
Quick Tip: Some shrubs bloom on old wood. To preserve those flowers, we can schedule trims post-bloom while maintaining crisp sides and tops.
Shrubs We Trim All Season
We care for a variety of shrubs, including:
- Laurel, privet, photinia, Portuguese laurel: Common around Ballard homes.
- Boxwood, yew, holly: Perfect for structured hedges.
- Rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias: We shape these lightly outside of their bloom windows.
- Mixed foundation shrubs: Enhancing front-of-house aesthetics.
