Seattle Trim shrubs near sidewalks for safety

In Seattle, overgrown shrubs can pose significant safety hazards near sidewalks. When hedges and bushes extend into walkways, they obstruct pedestrian traffic, creating potential trip hazards and reducing visibility for both pedestrians and drivers. The solution? Regular trimming of shrubs to ensure they stay within their designated space. Not only does this enhance safety, but it also boosts your property’s curb appeal, maintains a healthy ecosystem, and reduces maintenance efforts in the long run.

  • Shaping: Sculpting shrubs for a tidy appearance, enhancing the overall look of your landscape.
  • Edging: Defining the boundaries of your garden beds to prevent plants from encroaching onto walkways.
  • Cleaning Up: Removing all debris and clippings for a clean finish.

Key benefits

  • Appearance: Well-trimmed shrubs enhance the visual appeal of your property, making it look more inviting.
  • Durability: Regular maintenance helps shrubs grow healthier and stronger, reducing the likelihood of disease and damage.
