Normandy Park Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services

Are you looking to boost your home’s curb appeal? Our sides and top trimming service is just what you need to give your hedges a polished and professional look. We’re all about sharp lines, no messy clippings left behind, and a gorgeous finish that will make your yard the envy of the neighborhood!


What’s the Problem?

  • Hedges sprawling over sidewalks, steps, and driveways can look messy and create safety hazards.
  • Uneven tops and ragged edges from hasty trims detract from your landscape’s charm.
  • Overgrown greenery can obscure windows, house numbers, and outdoor lighting, making your home less inviting.
  • Other crews might leave clippings scattered everywhere and call it a day, but we believe in leaving your property spotless.

Our Trimming Standard (Sides + Top)

With our commitment to quality, here’s what you can expect:

  • Set the height line — we ensure a level top that looks straight from the curb, enhancing your home’s charm.
  • True verticals with slight taper — we’ll keep the base wider for a healthy hedge that flourishes.
  • Clean corners & ends — we avoid those annoying “puffy” returns or chewed edges.
  • Sightlines cleared — we ensure windows, paths, numbers, and fixtures are easily visible.
  • Full cleanup — we rake and blow away debris, leaving you with a tidy landscape.

Quick tip: Some shrubs bloom on old wood. If you want to keep those beautiful flowers, we can schedule trims after blooming while still keeping the sides & top looking sharp!


What We Trim All Season

We take pride in caring 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 — we provide light touch-ups to maintain those crisp lines without the need for heavy pruning.
  • Bloom-aware timing — we’ll trim at the right time to preserve next season’s beautiful blooms.
  • Bed tidy — we’ll refresh the edges around your hedges to enhance the overall look of your landscape.
  • Irrigation sanity — we’ll perform a quick check to ensure fresh cuts don’t scorch during dry spells.

Our goal is to provide low-maintenance landscaping. Fewer issues between visits mean less hassle for you!


Service Cadences

Choose the timing that suits your needs best:

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

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


What Annual Maintenance Includes

Here’s what you can expect with our annual maintenance:

  • Sides-and-top trims to your specified height and width.
  • A gentle taper to prevent shade-burn and encourage 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 are looking!

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance for your shrubs has amazing benefits:

  • Instant curb appeal — neat, straight lines create a clean look that wows neighbors and guests alike.
  • Safer access — clear paths and visibility on stairs and driveways enhance safety for you and your visitors.
  • Healthier shrubs — regular, light trims are far better than one harsh cut, promoting longevity.
  • Cost-effective — ongoing maintenance helps avoid costly full reductions down the line.
