Mercer Island Hedge Trimming & Shrub Shaping Services
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!
