Capitol Hill Hedge Trimming & Shrub Shaping Services
Keep Your Landscape Neat and Tidy!
Are your hedges looking a bit unruly? Uneven tops, sprawling branches, or just needing a fresh shape? We’re here to help you achieve clean, healthy, and low-maintenance hedges in Capitol Hill!
What’s Wrong with Your Hedges?
- Wavy hedge lines that attract unwanted attention
- Overgrown sides blocking paths, windows, and views
- Thin, patchy spots from previous poor trimming
- Increased maintenance due to incorrect shaping
Our Approach: Healthy + Tidy
Here’s how we ensure your hedges look fantastic:
- Walkthrough & Planning — We start with a friendly chat to confirm your desired height, width, and style (flat tops, gentle crowns, or a natural look).
- Selective Cuts — Our team trims to living nodes to promote healthy growth—no more hack-jobs!
- Clean Lines — We use string lines and guides to achieve straight tops and perfectly plumb sides.
- Right-Size Reduction — We carefully reduce height and width to fit perfectly in your space.
- Edge & Detail — We ensure clean sightlines around gates, walks, and windows—no more overhangs!
- Debris Handling — We rake, bag, and haul away all debris, leaving your yard polished.
What We Trim and Shape
We handle a variety of plants common in Capitol Hill, 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 (late spring and late summer).
- Three times a year for fast growers like laurel and leyland cypress.
- Annual touch-ups for slower, formal shrubs like boxwood and yew.
Consistent scheduling means smaller cuts, healthier plants, and less debris!
