Bellevue Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services
Are you ready to boost your home’s curb appeal? Our sides and top trimming service will have your hedges looking neat and sharp, making your property the envy of the neighborhood. We pride ourselves on delivering a smooth taper at the bottom, ensuring your greenery stays lush and healthy. Plus, we handle all the cleanup and debris removal so you can enjoy your beautiful yard without any hassle.
What’s the Problem?
- Hedges bulging into sidewalks, stairs, and driveways can create a safety hazard and an unattractive view.
- Wavy tops and uneven heights from previous haphazard trimming leave your landscape looking unprofessional.
- Overgrown shrubs can obscure windows, house numbers, and outdoor lights, resulting in a cluttered appearance.
- Other crews may leave clippings everywhere, treating the job as done without a thorough cleanup.
Our Trimming Standard (Sides + Top)
We’re committed to delivering top-notch quality with each trim, which includes:
- Setting the height line — ensuring a perfectly level top that looks straight from the curb.
- True verticals with a slight taper — wider at the base for healthier growth and a professional finish.
- Clean corners & ends — no “puffy” returns or choppy edges.
- Sightlines cleared — keeping pathways, windows, numbers, and fixtures visible for safety and aesthetics.
- Full cleanup — we rake/blow and haul off debris, finishing with a crisp bed edge.
Quick tip: Some shrubs bloom on old wood. If you want to preserve next season’s flowers, we can schedule trims post-bloom while keeping the sides & top looking sharp.
What We Trim All Season
We expertly care for a variety of shrubs, including:
- Laurel, privet, photinia, Portuguese laurel
- Boxwood, yew, holly (with care), hebe
- Rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias (light shaping outside bloom window)
- Mixed “front-of-house” hedges and foundation shrubs
Our Annual Maintenance Plan
With our annual maintenance plan, you’ll enjoy:
- Shape retention — light touch-ups to keep lines tight without heavy pruning.
- Bloom-aware timing — we’ll trim at the optimal time to preserve next season’s flowers.
- Bed tidy — a fresh edge around hedges to enhance the overall landscape.
- Irrigation checks — ensuring fresh cuts don’t scorch during dry spells.
We’re here for low-maintenance landscaping. Fewer issues between visits mean less work for you!
Service Cadences
Choose the schedule that fits your needs:
- Bi-Monthly — ideal for fast-growing and front-yard hedges needing regular attention.
- Quarterly — includes in-depth spring and fall shaping plus two tune-ups throughout the year.
(For heavy growth or if it’s your first trimming service, starting monthly for 60–90 days is suggested, then tapering off.)
What Annual Maintenance Includes
Expect the following with our annual maintenance:
- Sides-and-top trims to your specified height and width, ensuring a polished look.
- A slight taper to prevent shade-burn and maintain healthy growth.
- Bed edge crisping and full debris haul-off at every visit.
- Photo updates so you can see how sharp your hedges stay.
