Kent Hedge Trimming & Shrub Shaping Services
Keep Your Landscape Neat and Tidy!
Is your yard feeling a bit overgrown? Hedges that look more wild than wonderful? Don’t worry—we’ve got your back! Our team at Neat & Tidy Landscaping is here to give your hedges the perfect trim and shape, making them not only look pristine but also thrive in your Kent garden.
What’s Going on with Your Hedges?
- Wavy lines that draw attention for all the wrong reasons
- Overgrown branches obstructing views and pathways
- Thin patches from previous poor maintenance
- Ongoing upkeep due to inconsistent shaping
Our Approach: Healthy + Tidy
Here’s how we bring the magic to your landscape:
- Walkthrough & Planning — We kick things off with a friendly chat! We’ll discuss your vision for height, width, and style. Do you prefer flat tops, gentle curves, or a more natural appearance? Let’s figure it out together!
- Selective Cuts — Our expert team trims to living nodes, promoting healthy growth and avoiding those dreaded hack jobs that leave your plants vulnerable.
- Clean Lines — Using string lines and guides, we achieve those straight tops and perfectly plumb sides that make your hedges pop.
- Right-Size Reduction — We carefully fine-tune your hedges to fit seamlessly in your space, ensuring they enhance rather than hinder your landscape.
- Edge & Detail — We make sure sightlines around gates, walks, and windows are clear—no more annoying overhangs!
- Debris Handling — We don’t just trim; we take care of the cleanup too! Our team will rake, bag, and haul away all debris, leaving your yard looking polished.
What We Trim and Shape
We’re equipped to handle an array of plant varieties, including:
- Privacy hedges: laurel, leyland cypress, arborvitae, photinia, privet
- Formal shrubs: boxwood, yew, holly, camellia
- Flowering shrubs: rhododendron, azalea, spirea, hydrangea (we time our cuts to protect those beautiful blooms!)
- Natural screens: mixed evergreens and deciduous plantings
(Note: For larger tree work or hazardous removals, we’ll provide a separate quote under our tree services.)
How Often Should You Trim?
- Twice a year is ideal for most hedges (think late spring and late summer).
- Three times a year for fast growers like laurel and leyland cypress.
- Annual touch-ups for slower, more formal shrubs like boxwood and yew.
Sticking to a regular schedule means smaller cuts, healthier plants, and less debris to deal with!
