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

  • 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.
