Ballard Hedge Trimming & Shrub Shaping Services
Keep Your Landscape Neat and Tidy!
Is your Ballard garden in need of a trim? If your hedges are looking uneven or overgrown, we’re here to help you achieve clean, healthy, and low-maintenance hedges that enhance your property’s charm.
What’s Going on with Your Hedges?
- Wavy hedge lines that detract from your landscape
- Overgrown sides obstructing paths, windows, and beautiful views
- Thin, patchy spots due to previous poor trimming
- Increased maintenance because of an unkempt shape
Our Approach: Healthy + Tidy
Here’s how we work our magic to ensure your hedges look fantastic:
- Walkthrough & Planning — We’ll discuss your desired height, width, and style (flat tops, gentle crowns, or a natural look).
- Selective Cuts — Our team trims to living nodes to ensure healthy growth—no more hack jobs!
- Clean Lines — Using string lines and guides, we achieve straight tops and well-defined sides.
- Right-Size Reduction — We carefully adjust height and width to fit your space perfectly.
- Edge & Detail — We ensure clean sightlines around gates, walks, and windows, eliminating overhangs.
- Debris Handling — We rake, bag, and haul away debris for a polished finish.
What We Trim and Shape
We handle a variety of plants common in Ballard, including:
- Privacy hedges: laurel, leyland cypress, arborvitae, photinia, privet
- Formal shrubs: boxwood, yew, holly, camellia
- Flowering shrubs: rhododendron, azalea, spirea, hydrangea (timed cuts to protect blooms!)
- Natural screens: mixed evergreen and deciduous plantings
(Note: For large tree work or hazardous removals, we’ll quote that under our tree services.)
How Often Should You Trim?
- Twice a year for most hedges (ideal timing: late spring and late summer).
- Three times a year for fast growers like laurel and leyland cypress.
- Annual touch-ups for slower-growing shrubs like boxwood and yew.
Regular trimming means smaller cuts, healthier plants, and less debris!
