Bothell Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services

Hey there, Bothell! Are you ready to boost your curb appeal? With our sides and top trimming service, your hedges will look sharp, tidy, and utterly inviting. Say goodbye to ragged edges and hello to pristine greenery! We ensure a slight taper at the bottom for a lush look and handle all cleanup, leaving no debris behind.


What’s the Problem?

  • Hedges bulging over sidewalks or driveways can be both an eyesore and a safety hazard.
  • Wavy tops and uneven heights from hasty trims give a less-than-professional vibe.
  • Overgrown greenery can obscure windows, house numbers, and outdoor lighting, making your property less inviting.
  • Other crews might leave clippings everywhere, thinking they’re done, but we believe in a complete clean finish.

Our Trimming Standard (Sides + Top)

We pride ourselves on maintaining a high standard of quality:

  • Set the height line — achieving a uniform top that’s straight from the curb.
  • True verticals with a slight taper — wider at the base to keep your hedges healthy and vibrant.
  • Clean corners & ends — say goodbye to “puffy” returns or jagged edges.
  • Sightlines cleared — ensuring pathways, windows, house numbers, and fixtures are visible and accessible.
  • Full cleanup — we rake/blow and haul off debris, finishing with a crisp bed edge.

Quick tip: Some shrubs bloom on old wood. To preserve those beautiful flowers, we can schedule trims post-bloom while keeping the sides & top looking sharp.


What We Trim All Season

We handle a variety of shrubs throughout Bothell, including:

  • Laurel, privet, photinia, Portuguese laurel
  • Boxwood, yew, holly (with care), hebe
  • Rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias (light shaping outside the bloom window)
  • Mixed “front-of-house” hedges and foundation shrubs

Our Annual Maintenance Plan

With our annual maintenance plan, you’ll reap the benefits of:

  • Shape holds — light touch-ups keep lines tight without heavy pruning.
  • Bloom-aware timing — we trim at the right time to preserve next season’s flowers.
  • Bed tidy — a fresh edge around hedges enhances the overall appeal.
  • Irrigation sanity — a quick check ensures fresh cuts don’t scorch during dry spells.

We’re all about low-maintenance landscaping. Fewer issues between visits mean less hassle for you!


Service Cadences

Choose the timing that fits your schedule:

  • Bi-Monthly — ideal for fast-growing and front-yard hedges.
  • Quarterly — includes spring/fall deep shaping plus two tune-ups.

(For heavy growth or first-time rehabs, we recommend starting monthly for 60–90 days, then tapering off.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

With our annual maintenance, you can expect:

  • Sides-and-top trims to your desired height and width.
  • A gentle taper to prevent shade-burn and promote healthy growth.
  • Bed edge crisping and debris haul-off at every visit.
  • Photo updates to keep you informed about your hedges’ pristine condition.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance for your shrubs comes with amazing benefits:

  • Instant curb appeal — straight lines create a clean, inviting look.
  • Safer access — clear walkways, stairs, and driveway views for enhanced safety.
  • Healthier shrubs — regular, light trims are kinder than a harsh cut.
  • Lower costs — ongoing maintenance helps avoid expensive full reductions later on.
