Queen Anne Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services

Are you ready to elevate your curb appeal in Queen Anne? Our sides and top trimming service will have your hedges looking sharp and professional, with no ragged edges or unsightly clippings left behind. We ensure a slight taper at the bottom for lush growth, and we’ll clean up and haul away all debris when we’re done.


What’s the Problem?

  • Hedges bulging over sidewalks, stairs, and driveways can create safety hazards, especially in busy areas like Queen Anne.
  • Wavy tops and uneven heights from previous trims can detract from your home’s charm.
  • Overgrown greenery can obscure windows, house numbers, and outdoor lights.
  • Other crews may leave clippings everywhere, making your yard look neglected.

Our Trimming Standard (Sides + Top)

Our commitment to quality means:

  • Set the height line — ensuring a tight, level top that looks straight from the curb.
  • True verticals with slight taper — wider at the base to promote healthy, vibrant hedges.
  • Clean corners & ends — no “puffy” returns or jagged edges.
  • Sightlines cleared — ensuring paths, windows, and fixtures are visible.
  • Full cleanup — we rake/blow and haul off debris, finishing with a tidy bed edge.

Quick tip: some shrubs bloom on old wood. To keep those flowers, we can schedule trims post-bloom while maintaining those sides & top edges.


What We Trim All Season

We care for a variety of shrubs common in Queen Anne, 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 crisp 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 look.
  • Irrigation check — ensures fresh cuts don’t scorch during dry spells.

We’re here for 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, 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 maintain healthy growth.
  • Bed edge crisping and debris haul-off at every visit.
  • Photo updates to keep you informed about how sharp your hedges stay.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Maintaining your shrubs has incredible benefits:

  • Instant curb appeal — straight lines create a clean look that impresses.
  • Safer access — clear paths, stairs, and driveway views enhance safety.
  • Healthier shrubs — regular, light trims are better than one brutal cut.
  • Lower cost — ongoing maintenance helps avoid costly reductions later.
