Tukwila Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services

Hey there, Tukwila homeowners! Are you ready to give your curb appeal a serious boost? Our sides and top trimming service will transform your hedges into neat, sharp lines that make your property stand out. Say goodbye to ragged edges and clippings left behind! We take pride in ensuring a slight taper at the bottom, keeping everything lush and green. Plus, we’ll clean up and haul away all debris, leaving your yard spotless.


What’s the Problem?

Hedges can be beautiful, but when they start to overgrow, they can cause some serious issues:

  • Hedges bulging over sidewalks and driveways can create a safety hazard.
  • Wavy tops and uneven heights from previous trims leave a less-than-professional look.
  • Windows, house numbers, and outdoor lights can get lost in the overgrown greenery.
  • Many crews leave clippings everywhere, calling it done—yikes!

Our Trimming Standard (Sides + Top)

We’re committed to quality, which means:

  • Set the height line — we ensure a tight, level top that looks straight from the curb.
  • True verticals with slight taper — wider at the base so your hedge stays healthy and vibrant.
  • Clean corners & ends — no “puffy” returns or chewed edges here!
  • Sightlines cleared — ensuring paths, windows, numbers, 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. 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 take care of 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 just the right time to preserve next season’s flowers.
  • Bed tidy — a fresh edge around hedges enhances 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 timing that fits your needs:

  • Bi-Monthly — perfect 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

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 in the loop about how sharp your hedges stay.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Keeping your shrubs in check has incredible benefits:

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

Getting started is as easy as 1-2-3:

  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.
