Hedges are a popular choice for Seattle homeowners looking to enhance their landscape with natural beauty and privacy. However, without proper shaping, these plants can become overgrown, unsightly, and even hazardous. The good news is that regular hedge shaping can solve these issues, improving curb appeal, ensuring safety, and providing an eco-friendly, low-maintenance solution for your garden.
