Seattle Shrub Trimming

Seattle’s lush greenery is one of its most charming features, but keeping your shrubs in check can be a challenge. Overgrown or poorly maintained shrubs can detract from your home’s curb appeal, pose safety hazards, and even attract pests. The good news?

In this article, we’ll explore the ins and outs of shrub trimming, detailing what it includes, the benefits, and how you can easily maintain a stunning landscape with minimal effort.
