Seattle Cut shrubs away from house siding

In Seattle, homeowners often face the challenge of managing overgrown shrubs that encroach upon house siding. This not only affects the aesthetics of your property but can also lead to potential damage and safety hazards. The solution is simple: cut back those shrubs to create a safe, visually appealing space. By maintaining proper shrub distances from your siding, you can enhance curb appeal, improve safety, promote eco-friendliness, and reduce maintenance needs.

Description & Benefits

What the service includes

Our shrub cutting service includes a thorough assessment of your property, where we identify which shrubs need trimming back. The process involves:

  • Cutting back overgrown shrubs: We trim shrubs to a safe distance from your house, ensuring they are not touching siding or windows.

  • Edging and shaping: We shape the remaining plants for a polished look that enhances your landscape.

Key benefits

  • Enhanced Appearance: A well-maintained yard with properly trimmed shrubs boosts curb appeal and creates a welcoming environment.
  • Increased Durability: Keeping shrubs from touching your siding prevents moisture buildup and rot, prolonging the life of your exterior.
