SeaTac Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services

Elevate your home’s curb appeal with our professional shrub trimming services in SeaTac! Our meticulous sides and top trimming will keep your hedges looking neat and sharp, enhancing your landscape without leaving behind unsightly clippings.


Why Trim Your Hedges?

  • Safety: Overgrown hedges can obstruct sidewalks and driveways, creating hazards.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Wavy tops and uneven heights detract from your home’s beauty.
  • Visibility: Clear windows and house numbers by keeping greenery in check.
  • Cleanliness: We ensure no clippings are left behind, unlike some other services.

Our Trimming Standards (Sides + Top)

We pride ourselves on delivering quality:

  • Set Height Line: A clean, level top that looks great from the street.
  • True Vertical Cuts: A slight taper at the base keeps your hedge healthy.
  • Sharp Edges: No “puffy” returns or uneven corners.
  • Cleared Sightlines: Ensuring paths, windows, and fixtures are unobstructed.
  • Complete Cleanup: We rake/blow and haul off debris, leaving your landscape pristine.

Tip: To preserve blooms on certain shrubs, we can schedule trims after flowering, keeping the sides and top looking crisp.


Types of Shrubs We Trim

We cater to a variety of shrubs suitable for the SeaTac climate, 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

Enjoy the benefits of our annual maintenance plan:

  • Consistent Shape: Regular light touch-ups to maintain tight lines.
  • Bloom Timing: We trim at the right time to preserve next season’s flowers.
  • Tidy Beds: Fresh edges around hedges enhance overall appeal.
  • Irrigation Check: Ensuring cuts don’t scorch during dry spells.

We focus on low-maintenance landscaping, minimizing issues between visits and saving you time!


Service Cadences Tailored to You

Choose the frequency that suits your needs:

  • Bi-Monthly: Ideal for fast-growing and front-yard hedges.
  • Quarterly: Includes deep spring/fall shaping plus two tune-ups.

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


What’s Included in Annual Maintenance

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 ensure healthy growth.
  • Bed edge crisping and debris removal at every visit.
  • Regular photo updates to keep you informed about the shape of your hedges.

Benefits of Annual Maintenance

Maintaining your shrubs offers fantastic advantages:

  • Instant Curb Appeal: Clean lines create an impressive appearance.
  • Enhanced Safety: Clear paths and visibility improve safety for your family and guests.
  • Healthier Shrubs: Regular trims foster better growth than infrequent heavy cuts.
  • Cost Savings: Ongoing maintenance helps prevent costly full reductions later.
