Issaquah Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services

Hey there, Issaquah homeowners! Are you ready to boost your curb appeal? Our sides and top trimming service is designed to give your hedges that polished, professional look—think neat, sharp lines without any messy clippings left behind! We believe in a slight taper at the bottom to keep everything lush and vibrant. Plus, we’ll handle all the cleanup and haul away any debris, leaving your property spotless.


What’s the Problem?

  • Hedges that are bulging over sidewalks or driveways can not only look messy but also become a safety hazard.
  • Wavy tops and uneven heights from quick trims can give your garden a less-than-stellar appearance.
  • Overgrown greenery can obscure windows, house numbers, and outdoor lights, making your home less inviting.
  • Some crews may leave clippings everywhere, calling it a job well done, but we believe in leaving your space as tidy as we found it!

Our Trimming Standard (Sides + Top)

When you choose us, you can expect:

  • Set the height line — we ensure a level top that looks sharp from the curb.
  • True verticals with slight taper — this keeps the base wider and healthier.
  • Clean corners & ends — no “puffy” returns or ragged edges here!
  • Sightlines cleared — ensuring your paths, windows, and house numbers are visible.
  • Full cleanup — we rake, blow, and haul off all debris, finishing with a tidy bed edge to enhance your garden.

Quick tip: Some shrubs bloom on old wood. If you want to keep those beautiful flowers, let’s schedule trims after blooming while still maintaining those sides & top looking crisp.


What We Trim All Season

We’re here to 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 holds — light touch-ups to keep those 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 enhances the overall look of your property.
  • Irrigation check — we ensure 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 suits 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, consider 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 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 to keep you in the loop about how sharp your hedges look.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Keeping your shrubs trimmed has fantastic benefits:

  • Instant curb appeal — clean lines create a polished look that impresses!
  • Safer access — clear paths ensure safe navigation around your property.
  • Healthier shrubs — regular, light trims are far better than one heavy cut.
  • Cost-effective — ongoing maintenance helps you avoid costly full reductions later.

  1. Free Estimate — send us some photos or schedule a quick walkthrough for upfront pricing.
  2. Target Lines — we’ll discuss the desired height/width and any crucial sightlines.
