Edmonds Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services
Ready to boost your curb appeal? Our sides and top trimming service will have your hedges looking sharp, with clean lines and no stray clippings left behind. We believe in a slight taper at the bottom to keep everything lush and healthy, plus we’ll handle all the cleanup and debris removal once we’re done!
What’s the Problem?
- Hedges bulging over sidewalks, stairs, and driveways? They can be both unsightly and a safety hazard.
- Wavy tops and uneven heights from previous trims can leave a less-than-professional impression.
- Overgrown greenery can obscure your windows, house numbers, and outdoor lights, making them hard to see.
- Other crews might leave clippings scattered, calling it a job well done—yikes!
Our Trimming Standard (Sides + Top)
We’re committed to delivering top-notch service, which includes:
- Setting the height line — ensuring a neat, level top that’s pleasing from the curb.
- True verticals with a slight taper — wider at the base to keep your hedge healthy and vibrant.
- Clean corners & ends — no “puffy” returns or chewed edges here!
- Sightlines cleared — ensuring paths, windows, numbers, and fixtures remain visible.
- Full cleanup — we’ll rake/blow and haul off debris, finishing with a crisp bed edge.
Quick Tip: Some shrubs bloom on old wood. To keep those flowers, we can schedule trims post-bloom while ensuring the sides & top stay looking crisp.
What We Trim All Season
We take care of 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 holds — light touch-ups to keep lines tight 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 to enhance the overall aesthetic.
- 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 lifestyle:
- Bi-Monthly — perfect 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
Expect the following with our annual maintenance:
- Sides-and-top trims to your specified height and width.
- A slight taper to prevent shade-burn and promote healthy growth.
- Bed edge crisping and debris haul-off at every visit.
- Photo updates to keep you in the loop about how sharp your hedges look.
Why Annual Maintenance Matters
Keeping your shrubs trimmed has amazing benefits:
- Instant curb appeal — straight lines create a polished look that impresses.
- Safer access — clear paths, stairs, and driveways for safety and convenience.
- Healthier shrubs — regular, light trims are better than one drastic cut.
- Lower cost — ongoing maintenance helps avoid costly full reductions later.
