West Seattle Hedge Trimming & Shrub Shaping Services
Clean Lines, Low Maintenance
Crooked tops? Bulky sides? Branches in the walkway? We’ll get your hedges and shrubs even, healthy, and easy to maintain. Neat & Tidy serves Admiral, Alaska Junction, Alki, Fauntleroy, Arbor Heights, Delridge, Gatewood, High Point, Morgan Junction, and Roxhill.
What You’re Dealing With
- Wavy hedge lines and uneven height
- Overgrown sides crowding paths, windows, and fences
- Thin, patchy spots from bad cuts
- More trimming than you want because the shape isn’t right
Our Approach (Healthy + Tidy)
- Walkthrough & plan — confirm height, width, and style (flat-top, gentle crown, natural form)
- Selective cuts — we trim to living nodes so plants rebound thicker (no hack-jobs)
- Clean lines — string lines and guides for straight tops and plumb sides
- Right-size reduction — careful height and width reductions to fit the space
- Edge & detail — clear sightlines around gates, walks, windows, and numbers
- Debris handled — we rake, bag, and haul away so it’s truly finished
What We Trim (and Shape)
- 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/deciduous plantings
(Note: Large tree work and hazardous removals are quoted under tree services.)
How Often?
- Twice a year keeps most hedges neat (late spring + late summer)
- Three times a year for fast growers (laurel, leyland, privet)
- Annual touch-up for slow, formal shrubs (boxwood, yew)
Consistent cadence = smaller cuts, healthier plants, less debris.

- Trim/shape to agreed dimensions
- Line-setting (string/chalk) for straight tops and sides
