Shrub & Hedge Trimming

Hedges, shrubs and small trees shaped with care, not sheared flat.
Shrubs

Shrubs are trimmed at the right time for the plant, so flowering shrubs keep next year's blooms.

Common Questions
When should shrubs be trimmed?

It depends on the plant. Spring-flowering shrubs are trimmed right after they bloom; most hedges are shaped in early summer.

How large a tree can you prune?

Small and ornamental trees up to about ten feet, pruned from the ground. Larger trees are best left to a certified arborist.

Do you trim for businesses?

Yes, including storefront plantings, office grounds and apartment common areas.

Will trimming hurt my shrubs?

Not when it is timed and cut correctly. Heavy cuts at the wrong time are what cause damage.
