Renton Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services

Hey there, Renton homeowners! Are you ready to boost your curb appeal? Our sides and top trimming service is just what you need to give your hedges that well-groomed appearance. Say goodbye to ragged edges and unsightly clippings left behind! With our expertise, your greenery will be transformed into a tidy masterpiece, complete with a gentle taper at the bottom to keep everything lush and vibrant. Plus, we handle all cleanup, so you don’t have to lift a finger!


What’s the Problem?

Overgrown hedges can create a variety of headaches for homeowners:

  • Bulging hedges can obstruct sidewalks, stairs, and driveways, making your home look cluttered and unsafe.
  • Wavy tops and uneven heights from hasty trims give off a less-than-professional vibe.
  • Overgrown shrubs can hide windows, house numbers, and outdoor lights, diminishing your home’s charm.
  • Other crews might leave clippings everywhere, calling it “done” while you’re left with the mess.

Our Trimming Standard (Sides + Top)

When you choose us, you’re getting the best:

  • Set the height line — we ensure a tight, level top for a sleek look from the curb.
  • True verticals with slight taper — wider at the base, promoting healthy growth while looking sharp.
  • Clean corners & ends — no “puffy” returns or chewed edges here!
  • Sightlines cleared — ensuring paths, windows, numbers, and fixtures are visible and welcoming.
  • Full cleanup — we rake/blow and haul off debris, leaving your yard immaculate.

Quick tip: Some shrubs bloom on old wood. If you want to keep those flowers, we can schedule trims post-bloom while still keeping the sides & top looking crisp.


What We Trim All Season

We’re equipped 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 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 look.
  • Irrigation sanity — a quick 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 right schedule for 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.
  • 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

Keeping your shrubs in check comes with fantastic benefits:

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

How It Works

Getting started is a breeze:

  1. Free Estimate — send us photos or schedule a quick walkthrough for upfront pricing.
  2. Target Lines — we’ll agree on the desired height/width and any critical sightlines.
  3. Trim Day — our crew will meticulously trim sides, tops, and corners, edge the beds, and ensure a full cleanup and haul-off.
  4. Follow-Up — we’ll provide simple care tips and schedule your next trim date.
