Seattle Trim shrubs back from patios

In Seattle, where lush greenery thrives, it’s common for shrubs to grow unruly and encroach on patios. This not only diminishes the beauty of your outdoor space but can also pose safety hazards. The good news? Trimming these shrubs back is a simple solution. Regular maintenance can enhance curb appeal, improve safety, and make your yard more eco-friendly and low-maintenance.


Description & Benefits

What the service includes

Trimming shrubs back from patios involves several key tasks:

  • Pruning: Cutting back overgrown branches to keep shrubs within their designated space.
  • Edging: Defining the border between your patio and the shrubbery for a clean look.
  • Weeding: Removing any unwanted plants that can compete with your shrubs for nutrients.
  • Mulching: Applying a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

This service is typically completed in a single session but may require follow-up visits depending on the growth cycle of your shrubs.

Key benefits

  • Improved Appearance: Neatly trimmed shrubs enhance the overall aesthetics of your property, making it more inviting.
  • Increased Durability: Regular maintenance helps shrubs stay healthy and resilient against pests and diseases.
  • Safety: Overgrown shrubs can obstruct walkways and create hiding spots for pests. Trimming back reduces these risks.
