Keep Your Landscape Neat and Tidy!

Is your garden feeling a bit wild? Maybe those hedges are growing a little too free-spirited for your taste? No worries—we’re here to help you achieve clean, healthy, and low-maintenance hedges that will truly enhance your outdoor space.


What’s Going on with Your Hedges?

  • Wavy hedge lines catching the eye for all the wrong reasons?
  • Overgrown branches blocking paths, windows, and those stunning views?
  • Thin, patchy spots from previous trimming mishaps?
  • Tired of constant maintenance because the shape just isn’t right?

Our Approach: Healthy + Tidy

Here’s a sneak peek into how we work our magic to ensure your hedges look fantastic:

  • Walkthrough & Planning — We’ll kick things off with a friendly chat to discuss your vision. Want a flat top, a gentle crown, or a natural look? We’ve got you covered!
  • Selective Cuts — Our seasoned team trims to living nodes to promote healthy growth—no more hack-jobs that leave your plants vulnerable!
  • Clean Lines — Utilizing string lines and guides, we achieve straight tops and perfectly plumb sides that will leave your neighbors envious.
  • Right-Size Reduction — We carefully reduce height and width to fit your space flawlessly.
  • Edge & Detail — Say goodbye to overhangs! We ensure clean sightlines around gates, walks, and windows.
  • Debris Handling — We don’t just trim; we rake, bag, and haul away all debris, leaving your yard polished and pristine.

What We Trim and Shape

We handle a variety of plants, 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 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 (think 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.

Sticking to a consistent schedule means smaller cuts, healthier plants, and less debris to deal with!


What’s Included in Our Service?

  • Trim and shape to your agreed dimensions
  • Line-setting (using string/chalk) for those straight tops and sides
  • Light structural thinning to promote airflow
  • A thorough tidy-up around paths, patios, and flower beds
  • Debris loading and haul-away to green-waste facilities

Popular add-ons:

  • Bed edging and spade-cut borders along hedge lines
  • Mulch top-up (2–3 inches) to block weeds and keep roots happy
  • Weed pass at hedge bases for that truly finished look

Why Proper Trimming Matters (The Benefits)

  • Holds shape longer, reducing the need for frequent trims
  • Improves plant health, minimizing risks of disease
  • Keeps walkways and windows clear for safety
  • Instantly boosts your home’s curb appeal with sharp lines
