White Center Shrub Trimming (Sides & Top) Services

Ready to elevate your curb appeal in White Center? Our sides and top trimming service will give your hedges a neat, professional look, ensuring no ragged edges or unsightly clippings are left behind. We take pride in achieving a slight taper at the bottom, keeping everything lush and green. Plus, we clean up and haul away all debris when we’re finished.


What’s the Problem?

  • Hedges bulging over sidewalks, stairs, and driveways can create safety hazards.
  • Wavy tops and uneven heights from rushed trims detract from your home’s charm.
  • Overgrown greenery can obscure windows, house numbers, and outdoor lights.
  • Many other crews leave clippings everywhere, claiming the job is complete.

Our Trimming Standard (Sides + Top)

We ensure quality through our commitment to:

  • Set the height line — achieving a straight, level top that looks great from the street.
  • True verticals with slight taper — wider at the base to promote healthy growth.
  • Clean corners & ends — no “puffy” returns or uneven edges.
  • Sightlines cleared — ensuring paths, windows, numbers, and fixtures remain visible.
  • Full cleanup — we rake/blow and haul off debris, finishing with a pristine 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 maintaining the sides & top crisp.


What We Trim All Season

We care for a variety of shrubs, including:

  • Laurel, privet, photinia, Portuguese laurel
  • Boxwood, yew, holly (with care), hebe
  • Rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias (light shaping outside blooming)
  • Mixed “front-of-house” hedges and foundation shrubs

Our Annual Maintenance Plan

With our annual maintenance plan, you’ll benefit from:

  • Shape holds — light touch-ups to keep lines tight without heavy pruning.
  • Bloom-aware timing — trims scheduled at optimum times 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 — 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 offers 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 full reductions later.

  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.
