Burien Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services
Hey Burien! Are you ready to boost your curb appeal? Our sides and top trimming service will turn your hedges into neat, sharp lines that make your home stand out. With no ragged edges or messy clippings left behind, you’ll be left with a yard that’s photo-ready! We make sure to taper the bottom of your hedges slightly to keep them lush and healthy, and best of all, we handle the cleanup too.
We proudly serve vibrant neighborhoods throughout Admiral, Alaska Junction, Alki, Fauntleroy, Arbor Heights, Delridge, Gatewood, High Point, Morgan Junction, and Roxhill.
What’s the Problem?
- Overgrown hedges can spill over sidewalks, stairs, and driveways, making them both unsightly and unsafe.
- Wavy tops and uneven heights from previous trims leave a less-than-stellar appearance.
- Important features like windows, house numbers, and outdoor lights can get obscured by overgrown greenery.
- Other crews may leave clippings everywhere, thinking they’ve finished the job.
Our Trimming Standard (Sides + Top)
When you choose us, you can expect:
- Set Height Line — we ensure a tight, level top that looks immaculate from the curb.
- True Vertical Cuts with Slight Taper — wider at the base to keep your hedges healthy and thriving.
- Clean Corners & Ends — no “puffy” returns or jagged edges here!
- Clear Sightlines — ensuring paths, windows, numbers, and fixtures are easily visible.
- Full Cleanup — we’ll rake/blow and haul off all debris, finishing with a tidy bed edge that enhances your yard’s charm.
Quick tip: Some shrubs bloom on old wood. If you want to keep those beautiful flowers, we can schedule trims after blooming while still maintaining crisp sides & tops.
What We Trim All Season
We handle a variety of shrubs, 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 enjoy:
- Shape Holds — light touch-ups to keep lines sharp without heavy pruning.
- Bloom-Aware Timing — we’ll trim at the right time to preserve next season’s flowers.
- Bed Tidy — a fresh edge around hedges enhances the overall look of your landscape.
- 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 work for you!
Service Cadences
Choose the timing that fits your needs:
- 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, start monthly for 60–90 days, then taper off.)
What Annual Maintenance Includes
With our annual maintenance, you can expect:
- Sides-and-top trims to your specified height and width.
- A slight taper to prevent shade-burn and maintain healthy growth.
- Crisp bed edges and debris haul-off at every visit.
- Photo updates so you can see how sharp your hedges stay!
Why Annual Maintenance Matters
Maintaining your shrubs brings incredible benefits:
- Instant Curb Appeal — straight lines create a clean look that impresses neighbors and guests alike.
- Safer Access — clear paths, stairs, and driveway views for safety and convenience.
